Why/How do some people just let themselves go so bad?

Well... it's the "American" genes..... When I was in Europe, I didn't see that many overweight people..... and If there's one running around, there's a good chance that person is an American.

What is it? Fast food? People are eatting better/more here? Growth hormones in meat?

I shouldn't talk, I gained 5 lbs after taking my networking job.... I need to workout more and eat less... ):

I'd say only a woman could be responsible for 50 lbs ... but she was a woman ...

This is called aging guys. It normal to gain weight as you get older. I met some of my High School friends just couple years later and they sure gotten big.:Q

It's called fast food. Stay away from the taco!
People let go because they don't care.

When you're young, you can stay in relatively good shape in both form and function merely by getting out of bed each day. I was never "athletic" in the sense that I played a lot of sports but I did do other athletic activities, swimming mostly. I was in great shape and was the runner-up for 'best male physique' for our high school year book thingy (you know, 'best personality', 'most likely to succeed', that stuff).

I ate and ate like a typical 17 or 18 year-old male, nearly ate my parents out of house and home, and despite not being an avid weight-lifter or athlete, I was pretty muscular. Around 24, that all changes. They told me it would, but I didn't believe them.

My adolescent hormone charged metabolism gave-way to an adult metabolism, and since I was a lot less active than I was at 18, I started gaining 3 - 4 pounds per year. But I just accepted it because I was no longer in high school and I left all that big popularity contest BS behind when I graduated. The older you get, the less your peers look as though they just graduated from high school, too.

I say I'm going to lose some weight and hit the gym, but you know what? I won't because I don't really give a damn, who the hell do I have to impress? I'm comfortable with it.
