Essentially: Before weight gain a person is paying attention to calories and exercising frequently/regularly. For one reason or another, either the calories increase or the exercise decreases or both. Once it starts, the obesity death spiral can take hold, where increasing weight makes it harder to exercise, so exercise goes down even more, and paradoxically calories may increase as self-control goes out the window.
