I am not sure obesity can be tied to frustration. We have an epidemic of obesity period.
We don't eat healthy nor do we exercise., we eat processed foods, fast foods, junk foods, the food we eat is killing us and causing health problems. Worst is simple carbs, things made with refined flour. Wheat with wheat germ (complex carb) takes longer to digest, simple carbs increase spikes in blood glucose,and in some, leaky gut syndrome..
Using self as an example. I have never been a big eater, I've always ate to live, and scoffed at people who live to eat.
One day in 2006 while on my daily bicycle ride, I looked down and noticed this bulge in my stomach. Scared I made an appointment with someone who turned out to be my PCP. She took one look at me and said "syndrome X, insulin resistant" because I carried the fat high, not down low like a pot belly gut, the fat was resricted to my upper abdomen, not arms,legs and then I remembered my mother and aunts, they were the same. It is genetic passed down via mitochondrial DNA. Mothers pass it on,not fathers.
I received nutrition classes, and modified my eating habits, but not enough. I gained 80 lbs. Finally in February I had it. I drastically cut my caloric intake and what I ate, also added Berbine to my morning regimen.
In no time at all I lost 40 lbs, then hit a plateu, and have been there for six months, I eat my first meal between 10 and 12, and it is a low calorie, low carb, low sugar protein bar.
I am eating dinner as I type this it is the same as last night, and the night before, a zucchini, cucumber, onion, tomato salad with olive oil and apple cider vinegar and marjoram. and I am not losing weight, in fact i have gained weight at 5'8"I was down to 177 lbs in Jul and have slowly crept up to 190 lbs this morning and trying like hell to hold on.
My body doesn't want to give up the fat.
As I said, I eat to live,, not vice versa. When I was a child, I was hoping that someone would invent a pill, to save me the trouble of eating.
One thing though, probably most important of all, my blood glucose stays in the insulin resistant range, and not into the diabetic range, once in a while it drops down into the normal range.
At 85, and a cancer survivor, I get complete blood panels every six months, and a diabetic check up every six months. My blood panels and urine check are all normal, as is my blood pressure, even though I am emphysemic, I still perform chores including weed whipping.
Point is obesity is not caused, necessarily, by frustration or over eating.
My wife is obese, but has, many times, lost tremendous amounts of weight almost overnight, She eats as light as I eat, but when she returns to normal eating patterns,she gains back every bit of weight she lost. We don't eat cookies, cake none of that stuff, though she does eat ice cream.
Oh and I snack on olives and pickles, I have a salt tooth, not a sweet tooth.
