Not all people put on weight because they are going through some kind of depression and are indulging in comfort eating to feel temporary satisfaction. The act of eating is always a source of pleasure and as such whether you are slim and trim or terribly obese, all types of people unintentionally take to eating, even in their day-to-day lives, when faced with stressful situations at home or at the workplace, or even when they are just plain happy and elated. Nothing wrong with eating all that you want, as long as its not junk or tinned or canned food or beverages, and as long as you indulge in a correct regime of weight training exercises with a professional trainer, to build that perfect bulky muscular look. 

With physical weight comes the emotional weight of low self esteem, which triggers a person to hurtle through the vicious spiral of feeling bad about gaining weight and eating for comfort, since one is feeling bad and it becomes a never-ending cycle, until one fine day, the body breaks down or gives up, and signals that it can't take the stress of handling so much of food anymore. As a person who regularly works out, you will see your workouts boost your sense of self-worth, which in turn will reinforce in doing your exercise right for better muscle definition. This in turn will put you in a cycle of upward health and drop-dead gorgeous looks, because you will be motivated to eat right and work out right, due to all the appreciation you get from everyone. 

When you are overweight or obese, you are also much more likely to feel lethargic and lazy, and you are likely to have a procrastinating attitude towards anything and everything in life, as compared to light weight people. Since, it requires much more effort on the part of an obese person to maintain an active lifestyle, so they gradually give up and pretend to be normal, by not being active at all. They make one corner their haven and decide not to move at all, again putting themselves in this inescapable cycle of not moving, and hence putting on weight, and hence again not being able to move much and so on. When you exercise, eat balanced nutrient-rich food, you look and feel fresh, you flush out the toxins that make you lethargic, you feel light in your step, you are a lot more active, you accomplish much more, you come across more winning opportunities, and become victorious hands down.

As an obese person, if you can manage to lose even merely just 10 to 20 pounds, you will feel a drastic improvement in health no matter how obese you are, and this will provide you with the necessary impetus to go all the way down to achieving a healthy weight. Thereafter, you enter this new inescapable cycle of staying healthy, getting feedback, improvising, and looking better and more toned and muscular each day.
