  There is a reason: Age.

  While this varies a lot from person to person, it's extremely common that
when you are young (ie. in your early twenties) you can often eat whatever
you like and nothing special happens, but when you reach a certain age,
often around the point when you turn middle-aged, suddenly your body
chemistry changes and it starts storing most of that energy instead of
getting rid of it. Suddenly you notice that you can't eat all the junk food
you ate in your early twenties without it going to your belly and thighs.

  (This is very often accentuated by the fact that at this age you usually
start going to real jobs and getting some serious income, allowing you to
spend more on junk food, while at the same time reducing the amount of
exercise you get because you don't have the time anymore, being busy at
work and all.)

  It is just a fact of life that when you reach a certain age (typically
somewhere around 30) you just must start watching what you eat if you don't
want your belly to start growing. There are exceptions, of course, but it's
pretty common.
