Good question!\n\nMy specialist says the main cause of obesity today is neglectful parents or overbearing parents. Mine happened to be neglectful. I had to make a lot of my own meals whem i was under ten so it was a crap load of cereal, candy and the rest of a kids wet dream. \n\nAs i got older the food i ate became a sense of comfort. Id eat once a day about 3-4k calories and just sleep. I became a habitual eater after that and it was hard to break out.
