From Come On, Age 17

Ok, i have heard people on this board, talking about it doesnt matter if your overweight, as long as your happy. I somewhat agree with this, and somewhat disagree. I think that if you are happy, then fine, you are happy, but did you know that if you are even the slightest big overweight, you increase your chances dramatically to contract type 2 diabetes, which is mostly assosciated with being overweight, and eating/drinking too many sodas, and sugar. Plus you get higher chances of getting cardiovascualr disease, and contacting other incurable diseases, just because you are 15-20 lbs overweight. 5 lbs makes the diference. I am happy that some of you are happy with the way you are, and you probably were told by your parents that its the person inside that counts, and that no matter what you look like, or how much you weigh you are still beautiful, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that may very well be true, but this is a weight loss site, i have already lost my weight, and i was sort of happy with myself before, but now im much better off, and dont have to worry about contracting diseases (there is still a chance that it might happen, but a smaller chance than before) all i know, is that if your happy with your body now, then ok, but you would probably be even happier with yourself when you loose weight, and you sure will be healthier. All im providing is some advise, and if your happy, more power to you, but hey, i bet you would be alot happier if you looked closer to britney spears that to roseanne (dont know her last name, she has been married too many times to count, she had her own tv show) Well, more power to you, and i hope all of you reach your goals, and remember, dont starve yourself, and rest some, have fun, your not going to loose it all overnight, so whats the point of killing yourself for 5 hrs a day, working out, and end up giving up because of the difficulty, and not being able to keep up with it. Just as long as you do more working out than you did before, and eat better, you will loose weight!
