The Growing Problem of Obesity

Obesity has been in the news much more lately than it had been in the past. There are differing opinions on why this is so, however, as some people feel that the problem is just getting more media attention and other people feel that the actual rate of obesity is on the rise.

Whichever is the real reason for all of the talk about it, obesity is getting a lot of attention. There are studies done about it, medications to make it go away, and tips and tricks to avoid it - but many of these are scams, and they do not actually help anyone. They only cause further problems because they do not work well and the person who uses them ends up feeling worse than before, because the obesity is still a problem.

A lot of people today want and need to lose weight, but they are unsure how to combat their obesity. The idea of dieting does not appeal to many of these people, and even saying the word diet around them is enough to send them to the refrigerator. Others say that these people are weak and that they have no will power, but many people are obese because of an actual food addiction. They are addicted to food the same way others are addicted to drugs or alcohol. They are unable to lose weight, and it can kill them. Weight loss is very important for these people, but their struggle is made very difficult because they have to have food to survive.

Many of these people who struggle with obesity ask how successful an alcoholic would be at not drinking too much if he or she had to have just a little alcohol each and every day. Those who have struggled their whole lives, getting through childhood obesity and continuing into their adult lives, are most at risk for problems in the future because they have been carrying that extra weight for so long and because they have trained themselves to eat the way that they do now. They do not know how to weigh less naturally, and could not imagine going on any kind of diet that they could actually continue to follow.

There is hope for these people, however, if they are serious about their weight loss. The commitment to a diet and exercise program must be a thorough one, and they have to be aware that there is help available so that they can understand their addiction, curb their eating, and weigh less naturally.
