Obesity causes...I would call it more a causality. <br /><br />Obesity causes many diseases, and in most cases extreme weight gain doesn't happen if someone is consuming a sufficiently healthy diet. <br /><br />If you cross the street without bothering to check both ways, chances are you will get creamed by a bus. Is being irresponsible a disease? <br /><br />Next it will be said that a lack of self-control is a disease, too.

In some it's genetic, in some it's lifestyle but considering all the other illnesses it directly leads to you can't ignore it as a disease.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttp://garnelironheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-43708642033877048812014-05-07T09:40:32.436-04:002014-05-07T09:40:32.436-04:00True.

I had a healthy, non-traumatic childhood, but I just really like food. It takes self-control to hold back, which is what I do. I would say developing self-control, as opposed to discovering a psychological cause, would be a more effective means of long term success.

It would be more accurate to say “with validation <i>can come</i> complacency.”<br /><br />Where someone has been made to feel totally inadequate from a young age then some kind of therapeutic validation is probably necessary to build self-esteem as a stop along the way to becoming a well-adjusted person who does not need external validation and who is able to live life a healthy way. In these cases you need to address the root cause of the problem otherwise healthy diets, exercise routines etc will just fail.Daniel Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087956908558706584noreply@blogger.com
