Why are overweight people overweight?

Many people look at others who are overweight and assume that they must be lazy and eat lots of unhealthy foods. This is not always the case and our weight is not always something we are in control of. Metabolism problems are one reason why people are overweight. Some people who are overweight do eat very healthy and exercise regularly. There are many reasons for having a slow metabolism. This may include genetics or even hormonal disorders. For example, my mother has a thyroid disorder and she is overweight. She is constantly eating healthy and she exercises for hours everyday. There is nothing she can do about this problem, there is not medical cure. This just goes to show people that they shouldn't judge others before they know the situation that those people are in. Our weight is not always as easy to control as people may think.
