The energy in food, measured in calories, is used like fuel to run your body. Any extra caloric energy that is not needed to meet your body's energy needs, is changed into body tissue, mostly adipose tissue, or, fat. It adds up to obesity after time.

Seriously?
Well, it's because if you eat all the time, you're ingesting hundreds of calories and fat calories a day. The only way to burn the calories off (get rid of them) is by excersise. If you don't exersise, these calories are stored in your body as fat.

Because you're taking in more calories than you're expelling, causing your body to store the excess as fat.

The previous answers are pretty eloquent. Imagine if you keep filling your tank with gas without driving the car. The car won't get fat :) but it will weigh more.

Intake exceeds output.

Because if you don't burn more than the calories you take in, you gain weight.
