For example, some women regard it as a security blanket or are simply used to being very, very large. In some cases those people will start gaining the weight back after several years. I think it's important that people also undergo counseling because many people both fat and skinny have an unhealthy relationship with food.

As anyone ever read the book "She's Come Undone" by Wally Lamb?
The girl in the books is raped as young girl and to cope with the pain of the experience she eats and eats and eats and puts on a lot of weight.
I definitly believe for some people their weight is a symptom of deeper psychological issues.
