I though you were supposed to eat a lot... I though you were supposed to eat a lot to get fat.... But actually you must have to gorge on food, or have an orphan disease that make candy grow on your lips all day long.  I'm in a particularly stressing year in my studies and have to admit that cooking and, yes, eating became my main stress release. But it's been two years now (I failed the first time) and... I put on one pound, only one f*cking pound, even if I also stopped practicing sport. I was curious about that, so I recorded my calories intake, and I eat between 2000 and 3000 calories a day, and I'm a female, even if I'm quite tall.  After a big meal or a "always snacking" day, I feel so heavy and guilty, I wonder, how fat people manage to do that everyday of the year? It's so much a slow process, how can you watch your body get worse day after day without doing anything?
