Hey! Check out our new songs! (: I actually wanted to put 'Food Glorious Food' on, but radioblogclub didn't have it. If anyone has it, send it to me! (:
I am really really angry right now because I lost a whole long post and now I have to redo it! ):
A good BMI calculator is http://www.virilplant.com/bodyfatcalculator.htm!
Anyway, today's post is going to be on the EFFECTS OF OBESITY ON LIFE! (social, family etc;)
Psychological and social effects of obesity
Nowadays, society emphasizes physical appearance and often equates attractiveness in women with slimness. This makes obese people feel insecure and unattractive. Many people think that obese individuals are gluttonous or lazy (not true!) and are prejudiced agaisnt them! (working world, social, school etc;)
They often feel DEPRESSED, REJECTED & ASHAMED of themselves. If you are reading this, please don't ever feel that way about yourself! Feel good about yourself and who you are, and don't ever let anyone put you down!

Effects on Family:
Your family/parents might feel that it is their fault and thus feel guilty, or they might be ashamed of you because of reasons that were stated ealier on in this post. However, you should never be ashamed of what you look like or how much you weigh. (That doesn't mean that you shouldn't work towards lowering your weight though!)
An artists' (me) interpretion of a HAPPY family! (:
