I am always surprised how little focus there is on the mental aspects of overeating. Losing weight is really simple - consume fewer calories, eat less processed stuff. And yet so many smart, otherwise capable people struggle with weight loss despite having an excellent knowledge of modern diet plans.<p>Food doesn&#x27;t get in a person&#x27;s stomach by accident, a decision is made with every meal, especially when a person is aware of being overweight. So why do people continuously keep making wrong decisions for many months and years?<p>My case was simple - I was depressed and food made me happy. Making a decision not to eat something was mentally painful. Fixing things that were wrong with my life eliminated both my depression and my issues with overeating.
