You know one thing I can't stand?? When people who are overweight don't try to do anything about it, do you guys know who im talking about? I thinks its great that people have great self confidence, and don't care what people think of them if they are overweight, but its not just that. I don't think we should be telling teens its okay to be overweight, not because they look bad, but because they are putting themselved at risk for so many health problems and diseases! Who else agrees with me, i mean, I Really don't think teens should say, hey, im overweight, but thats okay... because then they don't do anything about it. We need to get the issue out there that being overweight is not a good thing- its not in any way about looks, but about health! anyone else agree?? (ps, don't get mad at me, im overweight too and im trying to be healthy)
