It seems that you eat a little bit and life becomes not so cruel. If only this habit wouldn’t give us some extra kilos. We unconsciously try to hide from our problems. Eating becomes happiness which often lacks in reality. However, instead of happy life be gain a bunch of complexes: losing self-confidence, becoming shy and inferior.
Another reason is quite different. Relatively it can look that everything is okay, a man is successful, his career goes great and so on. It seems that he has already reached everything so he can live paying attention only to his pleasures. And one of the pleasures is eating. For women it often happens when they get married. They start cooking in order to be perfect wives and when there is some much good food around, it is difficult to say no to it. They eat at the time of cooking and then eat again with a spouse. Women don’t even notice how they start gaining weight.

Unfortunately, this will make other people jealous as well. Sometimes a person is not ready for any changes, he is satisfied with his current life and he doesn’t allow losing weight for himself without even knowing it.
There are so many causes of obesity and all of them are so specific, depending on each person. One of the best advises that can be given for those who want to lose weight, make sure to do it with someone else. This will make it a lot more fun.
