Thank you for this unhelpful response. Obviously my mouth was involved, but so were my brain, gut, and the rest of my body. The point I'm making is that I never consciously decided to gain weight. My body, however, seemed to have its own plan.

My comment was helpful, because you are demonstrating a lack of knowledge about why you gained weight.

Even your reply implies you think you need to consciously decide to gain weight for it to happen - which is very much not correct.

You can’t fix something if you don’t understand the whys involved.
