Also I don't have any life-threatening health problems from my obesity...I have some problems though like Depression, GERD, Anemia, Screwy periods, Diverticulosis, Edema, joint pain, etc. But I don't want to end up having diabeties, high blood pressure, and even worse problems. I'm nipping it in the bud before I am even more unhealthy. I am worth it, we all are.
