"post-pregnancy" -- the "laziness" bit doesn't apply to you or to other people who medically become fat. There are quite a few like you who can't help the weight they are at (thyroid problems for one), yet the vast majority of fat and obese CAN do something about it.
Btw, you did something about it too and now weight less, right?

I did, and I do! I'm within twenty pounds of my government-approved healthy weight, and I intend to blow past that (downward!) soon.
Even at my fattest, I was walking several miles a day. It was so disheartening because I did the same stuff that had slimmed me down after all my previous pregnancies, and it had no effect. I always knew when certain people were repulsed by my appearance, but I couldn't exactly go up to them and say “I know it looks like I'm a fat slob, but I do exercises regularly and this is mostly because of some shots I had”. I just had to be quiet and think about how disgusting I felt. It was a very painful learning experience.
I was/am lucky to have a supportive Mom. She gave me an extremely small pair of pants and her old exercise machine. I finally got into the pants last month, and let me tell you, THAT was a great day. :-)
