One of the difficulties leading to weight gain and the inability to physically act upon this is once a person has gained weight excessively, then it becomes more difficult for that individual to actually motivate themselves. Several factors are responsible for this lack of motivation such as self loathing and lack of energy.
Once a person reaches a certain physical state then they may not want to exercise amongst their peer group due to embarrassment or fear of ridicule or rejection.
