Weight gain : Gaining weight is easily explained by eating too many calories compared to how much you use. The reason people eat too much is the core to understand how to stop the cycle. The body has a set point and the craving to set it can be distorted by emotional or habit issues. Hard question: Why are you eating more than you should? Are you putting on armor against emotional pain?
