I gained a lot of weight after my mom passed, Im geting obese but I was told it is a medical condition that I can get help for.
I'm sorry to hear that!  Have you tried limiting your calories and getting a bit of exercise?
I have, A few cases are caused primarily by genes, endocrine disorders and some just happen over time.
What sort of help were you considering?  I know people who have had surgery and are quite happy with the results.
I think I might get a gym membership, On average, obese people have a greater energy expenditure than their normal counterparts so I will have to work hard
