OBESITY...: Does not happen automatically, it is mainly due to increase calorie intake and less utilization. A lot of time we see obesity runs in families due to lifestyle. Self awareness, knowledge, determination, willingness will help you to solve your concern. Medical help is always available when it is a problem. Sit with your primary care doctor and discuss about it.
