Twelve Years to Realise What I Already Knew

Just over a decade ago I was more than 20lbs overweight, I was 19 years old and the fattest I'd been in my life. I weighed 183lbs at 6 feet tall. Doesn't seem heavy at 6 feet, but I only had eleventeen inch arms and had skinny legs. I was skinny-fat;big ass, big gut and skinny limbs-Oh yeah I looked good!

What caused this weight gain? Simple, I ate and drank far too much!

So how did I rectify this? I ate less and moved around a whole lot more.

Several months later I went back to college full time to study Sports Science. During the nutrition module I learned that fat made you fat.

A few years later I became 'more educated' and realised it was those evil carbs that made people fat.

Now nearly 12 years later I realise eating too much makes you fat.

Why did it take me 12 years to know what I already knew?
