There are many reasons for obesity and many are beyond an individual's control, including:
- Medications that promote weight gain e.g. certain antidepressants
- Untreated endocrine disorders e.g. hypothyroidism
- Untreated depression that removes the energy/will to exercise and/or control diet
- Physical impairment that precludes exercise
- Exposure to pthalates (chemicals found in some plastic products) as an infant
- Genetic predisposition
- Parental influence in childhood, specifically inappropriate diet (the number of fat cells are fixed at adolescence)
and others.
Furthermore, aggressive dieting can exacerbate the situation by adversely affecting one's metabolism. Chances are the person who's derided as a 'fatty' has been dieting for most of their life.

it makes it a lot harder to do things with friends, it certainly affects your confidence and the way people percieve you. instead of being percieved on, perhaps; intelligence you get rated on how you look and therefore due to obesity you perhaps don't get the same oppertunities as a slimmer person would. people will always choose a slimmer person over an obese one as they seem to think an obese person is lazy and incapable of tasks that a slimmer person could do. this isn't always true and is often an unfair perception on obese people. however being obese isn't all bad as people generally have to take you on your personality and this means you tend to find more genuine friends. obese people tend to be smiley and jolly people this is often a cover for underlying unhappiness.
