Thursday, May 15, 2003The other problem with calling obesity an addiction is that there are numerous other reasons why people are obese. Many obese patients simply are unaware that their dietary habits are horrible or that their caloric intake is excessive. Or they are in denial. Or they are depressed for numerous other reasons. Or they get next to no physical exertion. Or they are unable to be physically active because of other medical problems. Or because they have grown up in a family or social situation where everyone else eats excessively and is overweight. Or their significant other or others in their lives prefer them to be overweight. Or eating is the only pleasure that they get in life. posted by Sydney on 5/15/2003 06:28:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
