There are many reasons why we eat that have nothing to do with just providing fuel for our bodies or satisfying hunger. Unfortunately, this can lead to weight gain and a less healthy, flabby body that doesn’t reflect who we really are.

How many times have you suffered from not being able to wear the clothes you like due to your plump body? Have you worn elegant and expensive clothes, but felt dissatisfied with your body shape? Has your confidence suffered due to inconsistent body shape? Have you liked an outfit but couldn’t find your size? Have you resorted to wearing oversized clothes? Have you missed out on enjoying good times with friends? Have you felt like you’re living an elderly life while you’re still young? Do you feel like the world is unsympathetic to the pressures of daily life and the responsibilities you carry, on top of depriving yourself of the food and clothes you desire? Do you feel dissatisfied with your appearance, health, or yourself? Have you found yourself chasing after various dieting regimes, weight loss doctors, or doctors for pressure, diabetes, and obesity? Do you consider overeating to be a comfort, only to discover that it leaves you more tired and doesn’t solve problems? Do you realize that overeating is a chronic addiction, a sedative, a liar that deludes you into a fake sense of joy, and steals your happiness? You’ll pay a heavy price in terms of your health, appearance, satisfaction, finances, and quality of life.
