Obesity isn't a disease in itself, it is the accumulation of excess body fat and it can be resolved. Obese people do run a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes which are a cause of obesity
One of the important factors surrounding a person being described as obese is to find and understand the root cause for their bad eating behaviour. It could be that the person is overweight and over eating due to being clinically depressed in which case the aid of a doctor or psychiatrist might be a good idea.
