Not all of it can be blamed on fate, some cases are yetzer hara as well. My case is a combination of both. I have strict parents who would call me anorexic if they found out I skipped a meal (I use to believe this as a child- anorexia however is a disorder only for the underweight), but most times they haven’t found out and I had to opportunity to skip these meals. Of course fasting is one of the great solutions to lose the weight off, which some of our great sages and prophets did for a prolonged period of time, for spiritual and health reasons.
