Why do some people become overweight?                                                                                                 

                                                                                                                                                                  Weight gain can be a result of several factors: lifestyle choices, stress, or hormonal imbalance.Most people that are overweight gain weight because they have poor lifestyle habits such as not exercising or eating healthy food and not having enough sleep.

Weight gain is a natural part of aging and occurs in almost every person. However, it does not always mean you are overweight. The exact cause of gaining weight is unknown. It affects our mental health, physical well-being, and overall quality of life. Many people are afraid to discuss their weight with others since it can create anxiety. People also may feel ashamed and embarrassed to talk about how much weight they have gained or how they feel after trying to lose weight. It is easier to hide it when you have control over everything else in your body. It can be hard to face the reality of being overweight, especially if you have other chronic conditions or disabilities. You may not want to tell others this for a variety of reasons; it can make you feel depressed and alone. The way we think about ourselves is important. If you don’t agree with yourself, you may not believe in yourself either. There are many things I will never know about myself. And even just thinking about what I am capable of is scary. So, when a person says

something like “I’m fat,” I worry about them — why would anyone ever say that? Why does their

self-image matter? What is their real goal in life?                                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                                 Most of us tend to put on clothing to show off,

but sometimes clothes are only meant to cover up what lies beneath  the truth. We should never let someone else decide for us, even though it feels good in our heads. We should instead focus more on healing. Healing from within helps us take care of ourselves first before anything else. By doing so, we can achieve better living standards. It helps us to accept who we are.  And through acceptance, we also create inner peace. Accepting who you may right now give you some  space to start healing physically and mentally. You also may find ways to reduce stress.

This is where Mindfulness comes into play. Mindfulness helps us to bring awareness to the present moment to stay grounded and still. It promotes mental calmness. Through Meditation and mindful living we can learn to live with less. In these times of uncertainty, finding peace and balance is crucial. With mindful living, you can find new meaning in life and improve relationships with people. When you do this you can look at situations objectively. Your mind starts to clear up and you feel happier. Meditation also has another benefit, it keeps you focused. In short, it improves your mood and energy levels. Also, regular practice of yoga increases flexibility and stamina. Yoga reduces stress and tension so you can feel balanced and relaxed all around. Even though many people use diet pills to help them lose weight, they come with side effects. For example, there have been reports of women experiencing skin infections due to caffeine. As many people know, Caffeine has negative outcomes for your liver and heart, so avoid taking too much caffeine. Caffeine is metabolized in our liver and therefore when consumed it causes stomach upsets. Some people Take Antidepressants. These Drugs temporarily help symptoms of Depression by altering the serotonin level in the brain. Serotonin affects appetite and feelings of sadness, panic,and anger. Although medication helps, it does not work 100% and can lead to many side effects.

Taking medications for long-term weight loss is very dangerous and can lead to serious illness.
