    Obesity runs in my family. I realized when I found out who they were how seriously I need to take my own weight struggles. I am a size 14-16 and have struggled all my life. Early in my life, depression contributed to my weight because I just did not care. Later, I took on responsiblity of my weight and realized with better eating habits and lots of excercise I can at least maintain my weight and/or lose my unwanted weight. It seems to take lots of excercise in order to keep it off and lose it.

    nice post…US &many developed countries are a nation that values hard work and discipline, and it’s hard for them to accept that weight could be not just a struggle of will….
    well, to me sedentary &instant lifestyle (franchised junk food restaurants) doesn’t seem to contain hard work and discipline…
