I can only speak for myself, but when I was younger I never equated what I was eating to what my health was like. I really did eat whatever was prepared/purchased for me. I also did unwise things like placing a microwave burrito between to small microwave pizzas when I was feeling really hungry (not too often, mind). Never did I think "this is gonna make me fat!", instead "this is gonna taste good!" Well, I'd say poor youth habits are where all this begins and they can be tough to break. Little by little I started minding my nutrition and started losing weight. I always read the nutrition labeling, now...to the point where it might seem obsessive to an observer. Not that I'm the paragon of health and fitness, but I at least pay attention to what's going in my body - both good and bad.
