Emotional eating: Eating when we're not really hungry, and consuming highly calorie-laden but non nutritious food is a big problem. We eat when we're anxious, bored, sad, etc rather than tuning in to when our bodies actually need food. Also extremely sedentary lifestyle -- we don't move our bodies; we're disconnected from them. We don't care for them; we hate them because they're "fat" rather than appreciating.
