How did I get so fat?

I remember thinking I was fat when I was a size 8 at 135 pounds.  In August 2009, I was 150 pounds and in a size 12.  By August 2010, I was up to 185, 35 pounds in a year!  August 2011 I was 190 and August 2012 I was 195.  I fear that by this time next year, I will be well over 200 pounds.

During the time of greatest gain, I was in the military and was required to exercise five days per week.  I was also a fitness instructor.  So how did I balloon up 45 pounds in 3 years?

I've tried exercising and watching what I eat, but every time I do, the weight gain accelerates.

I had the Mirena IUD inserted Feb 2010.  Could this be the cause?
