Hi all,
I've been maintaining my weight loss for a year and half/two years and I'm starting to hear more about how people perceive weight loss so it's causing me to wonder what leads people to gain weight in the first place.
I was never taught about calories or the amount of fuel my body needs for a day. I genuinely thought that if I ate vegetables and fruit and exercised occasionally I wouldn't be fat. As a overweight adult I did some research and learned about calories and how to estimate how many my body needs in a day but I still didn't quite understand how exercise didn't play as large a role as I presumed. It was only after purchasing a heart rate monitor and doing MORE research that I realized exercise wasn't doing as much as i thought.
Then I went through a phase where I was struggling with depression and I just didn't care what I weighed so I sat around ate all of the foods and gained a ton of weight.
I want to make sure we don't have another generation of people coming up in the world overweight or obese when it's avoidable through education and understanding.
TL;DR: I never learned how weight gain/loss worked as a child so I got fat. What factors led to your weight gain?
