lol well there are a few factors... emotional, and then excercise, and then what you eat. i love to dance, etc, but i hate excercise that is structured. i eat alot, and alot of times its out of boredom or i think i should eat, then i tell myself not to, but i do it anyway, i also tend to snack alot because im indecisive and dont know what to eat. then i settle down on something, and eat that. also, i notice i feel like shit but when im doing it, i dont feel like shit, the thought doesnt even occur to me how dumb im being until after im done eating

What does the research say about the people on the biggest losers, losing all the weight? Are they cured or just eating right and exerising?

Sorry. I didn't see this earlier.

The New York Times pulls the curtain back on NBC's ratings juggernaut "The Biggest Loser," the "reality" game show which features overweight contestants competing to lose the most pounds. Just in time for this week's reunion special, the Times reports that Season 1 winner Ryan Benson, "who lost 122 of his 330-pound starting weight, will be absent. Mr. Benson is now back above 300 pounds but he thinks he has been shunned by the show because he publicly admitted that he dropped some of the weight by fasting and dehydrating himself to the point that he was urinating blood."

NBC severely restricts cast members from talking openly about their experience on the show. The Times notes:
Getting contestants to talk openly about the environment of the program is difficult. Shortly after a reporter started contacting former contestants to interview them about their experiences, a talent producer on the series sent an e-mail message to many former contestants reminding them that "serious consequences" could ensue if they ever talked to a reporter without the show's permission.

To do so could subject them to a fine of $100,000 or $1 million, depending on the timing of the interview, according to the e-mail message, which was obtained by The New York Times. The show's producers did provide an opportunity to interview several former contestants, but the interviews were conducted with an NBC publicist listening in.

Even the trainers admit to a 50-60% failure rate. It's actually much higher. More like 80%. If you google it, you'll find story after story of contestants not only gaining the weight back but some are heavier than they were before.

as a big fat whale, i can shed some light on the issue. yes, food is that good, and yes, excersize sucks. i'm sure there is a genetic component since relatives i never see are also big fat whales, but in the end i just like food. i can vouch for the fact that once you get to a certain size, something comes over you and you cease to give a shit any more, like it becomes hopeless and depressing. i still get laid so who gives a fuck?

Sometimes it's down to the socio-economic circumstances.

Sometimes it's down to Compulsive eating disorder- sometimes the person doesn't even LIKE the food but their compulsion is to eat and/or hoard food.

Along that route obesity is often linked to depression.

Then there are thyroid problems and certain pharmaceuticals.

There ARE MANY CAUSES OF OBESITY. Obesity in itself is NOT a clinical illness but there is often a clinical reason for one landing in that physical state, just as Anorexia Nervosa is not being skinny.

To try and put down all cases of obesity to one cause or scapegoat is a cop-out.

For those without a medical condition that is the sole reason for their predicament, I have no sympathy.

Because I was a bit overweight for my age. It drove me to distraction. So I got up and did something about it. I KNOW exactly to what extremes food can have a hold on your life (and how it can totally screw with your way of thinking) at both ends of the spectrum, so I think I can say all that without bias.
