Practically, too little or too much food
will result in a change in weight. This input-output formula
is HOW a person gets thin or fat. The overweight person eats
too much food and does too little exercise. The commercial and fitness
industry has made a fortune out of people with a weight problem.
If you, or someone you know, has a weight problem, please remember
that the excess weight is a manifestation of deeper problems which
are caused by psychological and/or historical factors. Psychological
"causes", refer to an individual's personal dynamics which
contribute to how s/he uses food. Historical causes refer
to practical events in a person's life, such as the loss of a parent,
the birth of a sibling, changes in schools, sexual abuse, etc.
