Why do people let themselves get fat? How hard is it to eat your veggies and not eat chips and...

There are tons of factors why one might be fat and not all are tied to diet an exercise. There are medications that can cause weight gain, and same go with illnesses chronic or not. Stuff like steroids, and antiseizure medication can cause weight gain.

stop talking about something you know nothing about. People don't gain weight simply because they eat too much. Mind your own judgmental business

I eat very well, but I drink a lot of alcohol. Eating isn't the only thing that causes weight gain. 😞

*rolls my eyes*
How is it possible that I'm still shocked by the things I see here?

Not everyone gets fat from eating. In some cases it's genetics. However I believe that most people who gets fat is because of a lack of discipline and they eat too much. You are right...they don't care. I think it's a shame because many people lose their beauty because of bad eating and not to mention health problems as well. No matter how you twist it and turn it in life you have to discipline or you pay.

My metabolism changed at age 50 and after a major surgery. It is a struggle to keep everything in check even though I work hard and eat sensibly. If I stopped for even a day, I'd notice. It really sucks. I'm tired!

Can't speak for everybody, but some people are just wired that way. Physically, mentally, whatever... just predisposed to being comfortable with it. I've been skinny, I've been chubby, I'm currently just over that line and know I'm fat. Personally I don't mind it in the least.

It doesn't have a negative impact on my life. Quite the opposite actually.

people also get comfort from eating or eat for a variety of reasons plus we have an abundance of food and in general inactive jobs

Hey not everyone who is overweight eats unhealthy stuff. My boyfriend eats healthy stuff and he’s overweight.

Getting older the priorities changes. No one to impress, nothing to prove. Yeah I dont care.

Everyone has their own road... struggles, easy parts, hard parts... and thank goodness none of us are the same.

well I never let myself get fat, I am 5 ft 2 and I weigh 121 lbs or something like that around 55 kilos so I cant speak for people who are overweight. I just dont have that much of a craving for junk food, I dont drink soda, but I do have kind of a sweet tooth. I think its thoes people whos genetics makes them gain weight easily combined with weak will power and strong cravings makes a person fat.
