Thank you for your question. I am Dr Asanghanwa Carlson, overweight is a problem on the physique, health and psyche. There is a mental stress with overweight as you might feel uncomfortable with yourself and this is a cause of low self esteem in certain situations. Overweight can also predispose you to certain medical conditions. Fighting against overweight is by having a healthy lifestyle such as eating three times a day and avoiding snacks, if you must take them, let them be taken during your meals. Go in for sports, thirty minutes of exercise three times a week. Before all this I would advise you seek help from a psychologist t and explain your worries and fears about yourself. All will be fine. I would not advice for any pills. Good luck
