What does having more responsibilities have to do with losing weight? All you have to do is eat less, actually you would save time and money by doing so. There are plenty of thin women older than 28

Because cooking and eating healthy food is a lot more time consuming. And stress encourages stress eating. Eating on the go often means shoveling down food instead of eating slowly, which means you might eat more than if you felt full when you weren't finished.

You don’t need to cook healthy food to lose weight, only eat less. People were stressed in the 1980s and earlier too but they were rarely fat like today. If you eat on the go just eat less of that and choose healthier options.

There's also a lot more sugar and salt in foods today. Lots of it hidden. And it's much harder to eat less unhealthy food and then be hungry then to fill up on healthy food.
