The point at which these emotions come out will depend upon our individual journey. For some they may suddenly emerge at one point, perhaps when we are more supported emotionally than we were before, and for others the unresolved emotions may reveal themselves gradually through our actions or words on a daily basis.

In fact, the problem of obesity is one that has been plaguing the majority of developed nations and numerous developing countries as well.
