Why did I become this big?

I am 23 and came to peer trainer just today. I was in the store today just browsing for a dress for an upcoming event. I usually wear an 8 but about few months earlier it became a size 10. Today I didnt even fit in a size 12. I was ashamed, I felt ugly and had tears well up in my eyes. I dont know how I got so fat.. no, Im not saying I ate right and exercised and still it happened but I thought I was not eating too unhealthy to become this heavy. I now weigh 168 pounds and Im 5.3". I feel short and stout... and this never was me. I used to be a size 6 and active and energetic. Life has definitely been hard but I NEVER thought this would become my biggest vice and I am ashamed of my appearance. Help me understand this.. why is it so hard to keep up a regular exercise regime past 2 weeks? I've done it but never made it through. I constantly have people who are swift to criticize my diet efforts but offer no help otherwise. I need to conquer this. I have realized that this has greatly affected my self esteem. Any help will be appreciated. Where do I start?
