How did you become very obese?

This question is not a judgement it's just genuine curiosity. I am overweight myself, constantly gaining weight and sometimes losing and have been overweight probably since I was 10.

I love food, I love eating. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs, food is my comfort and sometimes only relief.

If I overeat a little bit everyday, make unhealthy choices, and don't move lot I'll continually gain weight and it's not until I try, will I drop a few pounds. In the past 10 years I've never managed to lose enough to be a normal BMI I just get slightly less overweight and then gain it back. Now I get that if I just carried on without attempts to lose weight now and then maybe I'd be bigger. But I don't imagine I would be super morbidly obese. I also have this thing in my head where I'm like...this has gone a bit too far, I feel physically uncomfortable and weighed down and just unhealthy and starting to feel like I don't recognise myself. That makes me stop and change my habits (for a while).

Another thing that stops me overeating as much as I sometimes want to psychologically, is feeling sick, feeling bloated, having stomach issues, stomach aches, IBS C and D, etc.

I guess my question is if you became super obese by drastically overeating, weren't there points where you would have been hindered by all of the above and by physical discomfort of getting too heavy? Were there points where you did feel those things but somehow we're still compelled to carry on?

I've just wondered, I definitely don't mean any offense to anyone by any of the above.
