I'm just pleasantly plump

So, how did I get that big? Did I have a thyroid issue? Was I big boned? Was it that darn hormone Cortisol??

I wish that were the case. But nope. I got fat because of my own choices. I ate too much and sat on my butt. That's pretty much it. It's amazing looking back about how much I used to eat!! When I learned what the correct portions were, no wonder I had gotten that big!! I was eating more than double of servings!!

Oh and restaurants??? Holy crap, those servings are just craziness! OK so a serving of steak is what, 3 oz?? What's the smallest at a steak restaurant? 6 oz?? That's TWICE a daily serving. Serving of pasta? 1/2 c. How big are restaurant portions? two times, three times or more??

So, eating outrageous portions plus the added sitting on my butt and doing nothing..no wonder I was that big!!
