Poll.... Do You Think There is an Obesity Epidemic?

HI SCFACE, A HARD ? AND ONE THAT IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO ANSWER... FIRST I DO WANT TO SAY FOR ME IT HAS BEEN VERY HARD TO LOSE LBS. AS GOING THROUGH THE TUFF TUFF ROAD TO DO SO. I ALWAYS DID THINK OBESITY WAS LIKE A PERSON THAT WEIGHTS IS TO BIG LETS SAY 200LBS OR MORE DEPENDING ON THE HEIGHT OF THAT PERSON , SOME PEOPLE CARRY THAT VERY WELL. SO AS I'M GOING THROUGH MY PATH OF LOSING I FOUND OUT THAT OBESITY IS AN OVER WEIGHT PERSON THAT IS OVER 50LBS. OF THE NORMAL WEIGHT FOR THE STRUCTURE OF BONES AND HEIGHT . WELL SIR, I SAID OPPS THAT IS ME .THE EXTRA LBS SEEMS TO CLING TO ME AS WE GET OLDER ND NOT GOOD FOR OUR WELL BEING. PERHAPS THE GOV. HAS POINTED IT OUT AND IN REALITY THE LOSING LBS IS GREAT FOR HEALTH AND SOME CHOOSE TO KEEP THE WEIGHT SOME CHOOSE TO LOSE SCFACE I CHOICE TO LOSE NOT ONLY FOR HEALTH WISE BUT I DO LOOK BETTER AS TIME GOES ON, HAVE NOT GOT TO MY GOAL I KNOW I WILL GET THERE IT IS SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TOO ...NOW I WILL TELL U A STORY THAT IS FOR REAL . I TO WENT THE BEACH DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXCEPT I DID NOT WANT TO PUT MY BATHING SUIT FOR THE REASON NUMBER 1 , I WANTED TO LOOK GOOD IN A TWO PIECE BATHING S. THE SECOND I DO NOT FEEL ALL THAT YOUNG TO GO TO BEACH NEVER BEEN SO I WAS THINKING GEE GEE ALL THOSE BEAUTIES HOW LOVELY IT IS TO ENJOY LIFE IN THAT MANNER. WELL WHEN I GOT THERE SCFACE IT DID SADDEN ME SOME THAT THERE WAS ALOT OF YOUNG GIRLS 18 AND OVER ND SOME WERE MARRIED BUT REAL YOUNG LOOKING , YOU CAN NOT HELP BUT LOOK AND I KNOW THEY MUST BE OVER WEIGHT MORE THAN 200LBS. PLUS I AM SAYING SIR YEAH AMERICA WHICH IS [US ] WAKE UP WE DO NOT NEED TO BE TOLD BUT COME ON WE NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES IN THE MIRROW CUZ MAYBE TOMORROW WE MAY NOT SEE THAT IMAGE .. IT IS ME ANSWERING YOUR? NOT THE GOV.
