Low self-esteem is closely related to the problems in weight loss: usually with low self-esteem attempts to reduce weight are doomed to failure, because any failure is not considered as an opportunity to learn something new, but as another proof of their doom for failure. Errors that arise in the process of weight loss are not considered as temporary failures, but as an excuse to once again make sure of their own failure and postpone attempts to bring the weight back to better times.
