Begin by asking yourself:
Does any of this weigh in with you?

You are invited to a company, family or friend's get together where everyone will be enjoying a cookout, potluck or other meal venue to share. Throughout the week of the event, talk at the water cooler, on the phone, via email, etc. constantly seems to come back to this event: what to bring, what to wear, who will be there, etc.

By now, you're nervous about what to bring, wear and eat in front of everyone. You're a "little" (or more) overweight and aren't quite like everyone else going. At least that's what you think...

You're apprehensive. Sweat pants are probably out of the question, but nothing else is comfortable. Jeans are too tight, your shoes don't shine any longer, your shirt doesn't have all the buttons - -or won't button up over your belly, ugh!

You're anxious. Forget about health foods like veggies and dip. Who likes green stuff? Where's the beef? What CAN you bring? What do you REALLY want to eat there?

You're stressed- - to the max - - by Friday afternoon. But what the heck. You don your favorite BIG shirt over your elastic pants and hit the road with loads of "healthy" foods; sweet rice cereal treats (coated in chocolate and layered in peanut better), veggies (with a rich breaded coating and deep fried), your favorite cola and head out.

You arrive & run cross these annoying gems at the event:

• Everything is set up for "skinny" ninnies. You can't hardly squeeze past the food tables to get to the chairs. And forget about being comfortable. The chairs are tiny, flimsy, backless fabric stool-type things that might be great for little kids. But forget about larger adult rears....
• Lots of slim people are munching on eating carrots and celery. And there's some kind of green oozy-stuff on crackers and some kind of no-meat burgers.
• People look at you - in surprise - because, OK you admit, your website photo was from your high school says decades ago and at least 50-pounds ago...and they're just now seeing you in-person first the first time or in years. Some even mention that, gosh, you're a "little" heftier now, eh? (in a joking manner, of course).
• The drunks at the party decide to become more obnoxious than usual and insult anyone there NOT ultra-thin.
• Unfeeling pencil-thin guests who make you want to PUKE and who are obviously oblivious or unconcerned with those around them, are openly discussing the latest "FAD" diets and exercise equipment on infomercials and wonder aloud why anyone can still be "FAT" today.

The results?

Any number of the following happens:

• You return home and binge in front of your favorite video, TV program or DVD. You sulk, get super depressed and change into your old, favorite sweats with the holes in them and seams ripping out.
• You leave & stop along the way for your favorite candy bars and other assorted junk food.

Overview of Obesity

Obesity is a disease that affects approximately 60 million people in the United States, and women are especially affected. Over one-third of women between the ages of 20 and 74 are obese, the majority of them being African American or Mexican American.
With more and more pre-packaged food and less and less activity, the number of obese people in America has steadily increased since the 1960's.
But what is obesity? Many people think obesity means that a person is overweight, but that's not exactly true. An overweight person has a surplus amount of weight that includes muscle, bone, fat, and water. An obese person has a surplus of body fat. Most health professionals concur that a man is obese if he has over 25 percent body fat, and a woman is obese if she has over 30 percent. Women physiologically have more body fat than men, so that why there's a difference in percentage.
It is difficult to determine the exact percentage of body fat a person has, but estimates can be made in a number of ways. First, using a tweezer-like tool called a caliper, you can measure the thickness of skin folds on different points of your body and compare the results with standardized numbers. You can also use a small device that sends a harmless electrical current through your body and measures your body fat percentage. The most commonly used method to determine if a person is obese is to look at his/her Body Mass Index (BMI). A person with a BMI over 30 is considered to be obese, and a BMI over 40 is considered to be severely obese. It's important to remember though that BMI could be misleading in pregnant or lactating women and in muscular individuals.
With obesity, comes the increased risk of diseases such as high blood pressure, Type II Diabetes, heart disease, and breast, colon, and prostate cancer. In addition, obesity has been linked to mental health conditions such as depression or feelings of shame and low self-esteem. Health experts say that even losing 10 to 15 percent of your body weight can dramatically decrease the risk of developing these serious conditions. In
addition, many obese people are discriminated against and targets of insults and other verbal abuse.
A number of factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, genetics, and certain medical disorders, cause obesity, but it can be conquered.
