it's a gradual thing that happens, you dont wake up tomorrow and suddenly become 300 lbs. you may not notice it as much if it's a gradual weight gain...and even if you do, you might think "oh, I always looked like that, I'm fine" or you might ask a loved one and they say "you look fine dude". It's not until you look at a very old pic do you realize "oh shit".

this right here. it's easy to fall into addiction, whether that's addiction to alcohol, drugs or food. by the time you realize it's going too far, you're usually pretty far along. i've always been pretty skinny, but when i was at the height of my drinking days i was up to 205 lbs (normal is 147 lbs). it slowly happened over about a year.
