I used to be obese when I was younger. It's true that I had a pretty horrendous diet, however I blame say 80-90% of the problem on my overconsumption of soda.

I used to be obese when I was younger. It's true that I had a pretty horrendous diet, however I blame say 80-90% of the problem on my overconsumption of soda. After learning about nutrition, it was horrific just how easy it is to down 1000 ( or more! ) calories of soda every single day without breaking a sweat. At 3500 calories per pound of fat, that's 3.5 lbs/week or 182 lbs worth of fat each year. I still assert to this day that even if I completely let my diet go and ate like garbage, I doubt that I could eat enough junk to get back to the point where I was.
