[quote=Anonymous]I am in my mid 20s, single, and while not a stick, am not overweight and think I maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle (vegetarian, work out 3-4 times a week, run half marathons and other races). I did gain quite a bit of weight my last couple years of college, luckily was able to lose about 30 pounds post graduation. Here are the main factors I see:
1) Alcohol! This is what I attribute my college weight gain to - many of my peers drink almost every day, it's so socially acceptable and those calories add up. 
2) No one packs lunch anymore. It amazes me how so many of my coworkers eat out literally every day. Aside from the cost, even 'healthy' meals out can have close to 1000 calories. 
3) Food EVERYWHERE at work. My office has an insane amount of leftover food sitting out every day. Bagels, large platters of French toast, trays of cookies, etc. So tempting to take it if it's there and free. 
3) Finally - I am single and lucky to have time to workout, etc. I can see this being significantly more difficult with a partner and kids, much moreso kids. [/quote]
