[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the episodes this season have been so strange. Many of the people who have become morbidly obese suffered traumatic child molestation, sexual abuse, rape, and other horrific traumas.

But a few of them this season have literally said "my parents divorced and they fought which made me sad and so I ate." I... don't understand that. There wasn't any abuse, anything really traumatic or horrific. They also still grew up to have relationships with their parents, just... separate! This seems so light on the "trauma" scale, like saying "I ate myself to 600+lb pounds because my parents made me do chores I didn't want to do."

There's having an imperfect life (which we all have), and then there's real trauma. Some of them have actually had such an easy life.[/quote]

It's not really hard to understand.  It's a habit they developed and like all habits they are hard to break.

They may have started over eating due to the divorce but then life moved on and things improved but they liked eating and crappy food just tastes better :-)

And once you start gaining weight, you can actually eat more because you have a bigger stomach capacity so it takes more and more food till you reach the full point.

Add in the fact that over the past 20 years, there are far more overweight people everywhere all the time so it became more acceptable to be overweight so food tastes good, it's a daily habit and there are lots of other people around who are fat as well. This all equals up to how morbid obesity happens.[/quote]
