Obesity is common struggle with many men and women in the United States.  Living as an overweight or obese individual can come with its own challenges, both mentally and physically.  The public perception of an obese individual can be cruel, often insinuating that the person is lazy or overeating.  This can result in a lot of shame and guilt.

• Medical conditions such as diabetes and PCOS
• Mental conditions such as an eating disorder, depression or anxiety
• Recent accident leaving you temporarily disabled
• Unhealthy eating habits due to trauma
• Inappropriate coping skills
