After that, you start thinking of the few extra pounds that you have added to your size. These few extra pounds accumulate and push you over the overweight line into obesity.

Obesity can be classified into three groups.

There are many factors responsible for obesity.
Lifestyle and diet
What you eat and how you exercise affect your body seriously. You put on weight when you eat more calories than you can burn. Excess calories are stored as fat. Sedentary lifestyles are therefore so much responsible for obesity.
Genetics and hereditary
Your genetic make up plays an immense role in whether you become obese or not. There are some who are prone to storing more calories than they can burn. That is why some families are generally prone to obesity. If your parents are obese, the chances are that you might also follow them.
The thyroid hormone regulates the body metabolism. If it is no being produced in the right quantities, then your metabolism will slow down, meaning you don’t use enough of the energy your body produces. The excess as usual will be stored as fat.
Emotions
Your emotions can influence the way you eat. Emotions like anger, stress, and depression can lead to poor eating habits. When they make you overeat, you end up developing weight problems.
