Losing weight can be one of the most difficult things a person has to do. Like smoking, food is sometimes an addition. There are many reasons why someone may be overweight. In most cases, it is due to lack of exercise and eating the wrong foods. Often, people overeat out of habit. They may pick at food casually all day long or indulge in snacks that they love. In some cases, a woman has just had a child and needs to lose the excess weight that she gained after having the baby. This can be difficult as often a new baby is exhausting and distressing on the body. It can be tough to lose weight after giving birth, especially if you have other children to look out after.
My problems with weight gain didn't start until I was older. I was a skinny kid all my life and even into adulthood. Even after I had my kids, in my 20s, I managed to get off the weight by using just a diet and a little bit of exercise. I seemed to be one of the lucky ones who didn't have to struggle with weight, although I saw plenty of my friends and family members trying to get excess weight off. It did help that I had my children at a younger age and had them nearly three years apart - it gave my body a chance to get back into shape each time.
