Why did we all get so fat?
Why did I get fat as a child?
From eating entire packs of Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream Pops, a bag of doritos on many days and a lot of Pepsis.
Lost weight at 12 and kept it off until 18. Gained and lost again at 18 when I become a fitness instructor. Kept it off from the heat and activity during my time in Taiwan.
Why did I get fat once again at 23? :
Started university and simultaneously entered a bad marriage. Didn't start exercising until I was trying to solve the problem at 305 lbs.
Lost weight by having the goal of being a mtn bike racer. Later, I swtiched to long triathlons and full marathons. Motive? Beaver. I wanted lots of beaver.
Why did I get fat yet again at 35?:
Started work on a Master's degree. However, never gained back over 280. Kept exercising, but 1-2 times a week wasn't enough.
Finally lost again with WLS at age 44.
Factors: Studying way too much, stress, exercising too little. Sweets are a killer when I eat a lot of them (or used to be, not now that I'm post op), but I've always been attracted to starchy foods.
