Obesity

[Soontobebuff]

They say that obesity weighing more than 20 pounds the ideal weight for your height. It can be due to heredity, hormonal problems, poor eating habits, little or no exercise and mental stress. Do you believe that this is true?

I don't know what to say..
I saw people that are short and chubby, but they didn't look obese to me. They just look more puffy than others.
I don't know if there is a definition for obesity.. maybe doctors know better. Anyway, 20 punds doesn't seem that much to me.

Obesity.. it sounds like such an awful word.
I think obese people are the ones that cannot move anymore. I don't believe in ideal weights and stuff like that so i don't know what to say.
Maybe in medical terms this is a case of obesity, but in my opinion if we can still move and feel ok we are just overweight :)

I believe that I’m one of those because I’m too fat for my height. The ideal weight for 5’7” guy is around 160 lbs. Now, I’m already 200 lbs. I’m so sad but I have to accept this because I’m the one who makes this happen to me. I hope that someday I get my ideal weight.
