Being fat isn't healthy. It puts a person at risk for Type II diabetes and heart disease. Then there are the joint problems that come along with excess weight - hips, knees and back. Are these healthy things? "Diets" are no good - a person needs to learn to eat properly for life. When you "diet", you tend to go off your "diet", and then gain back all the weight you lost, and then some.

Even though she was warned, my daughter gained so much weight that she did develop type II diabetis. Now she has developed so many medical conditions I'm beginning to wonder if I will live longer then her. She now takes 22 medications and just found out her thyroid is bad. I told her she has all the ills of an elderly person.
