We can cope with the tendency before it goes that far, if we are willing to seek the inner cause.
People who are gaining weight generally protest that they eat very little. Their inability to keep track of all the guilty nibbling they do is part of the same picture, an inability to face the real problem which plagues them. Doctors often find a gland disturbance, and offer this as the cause of the overweight condition.
