Tom Watson began to put on weight in his early 20s, having developed an appetite for fast food and cheap beer while studying at the University of Hull. As time progressed - and his penchant for anything sweet, fatty or fizzy persisted - he found himself adjusting his belt, loosening his collar and upsizing his wardrobe to XXL. He continued to pile on the pounds when he entered the world of politics as MP for West Bromwich East (despite short-lived flirtations with fad diets and fitness classes). By December 2014, his bathroom scales had tipped to 22 stone.

When you have more glucose than your body needs, your body responds by producing more insulin to stabilize your blood sugar level. This will lead your body to store the excess glucose as fat, and is also the reason you probably feel like taking a nap after eating lunch with carbs in it.
