Obesity
Over the last decade children and adults, in the United States, have been gaining more and more weight. Obesity is rapidly becoming an epidemic in our youngsters' lives. Whether it's all the fast food or lack of exercise, adults and especially children are heavier than ever. This increase in the national girth is giving way to such debilitating and chronic disease diabetes, joint and muscle ailments, and even heart disease. Beside that, there is a result from statistic says that disability due to obesity-related type 2 diabetes will increase particularly in industrializing countries, as insulin supply is usually insufficient in industrialized countries.
To anyone delivering health care to adults in the United States, the impact of obesity on physical and emotional health is obvious. Because of the trend of the beauty or values has changed, people think that obese people as another type of people, like blocking them out and stuff like this; on this paper I am going to talk about how do they think about themselves and how obesity affect their daily life.
Being over weight is not a crime. People have often talked about people who are being fat, and thinking of them as an alien or even a freak. Obese people are just the same as you and me. All of us think the same, there is some stuff that we cannot change, and all we could do is to just live with it. Obese people cannot live their lives worry about what people think about them, they just live normal. Obese people are like girls with small breasts. They will always wanted to have a bigger breasts, but they will learn to get use to what they have. So, on the same way, the people who are obese do want to do something about their look and body shapes. There are questions to be asked, what do
they really think inside in mind? How do they feel when people talk about them? And what do they expect the way of people looking at them?
Sometime being fat is very unpredictable. Somehow the obese people cannot change the way they are, but inside themselves they always wanted to be skinnier and look better. They do not want people to look at them funny, or make stupid comment about them or their bodies. Being Obese does make them feel guilty and ashamed, they do want to do something to change the way they look. As a lady who has been told that she is being overweight said to me that "I don't like people call me fatty", with a strong tone voice. I know how it's feel when people called you name. She then told me that, "Did you know how embrassed is that when I try to get through an axiel with my body size? You would never know understand how bad I feel internally". During the talk with this lady, I can tell that people who are obese don't feel good about themselves, not only this, they also try to hide themselves from public, get a rid of people talking about them, and stay away to those skinny people.
Personally, I am not obese; but it doesn't change any of my view points to look at obese people. I look at them as normal, I don't talk anything bad about them, because I know that the look of a person is not that important, the beauty is inside the heart. To me, I would still be friends with them and go out with them, because I don't see no difference between they and I. I think it is wrong for those people who keep on gossiping about fat, and mix with those words like ugly, huge, big, etc. This is really degrading and lower the self-esteem of a person; those people who say bad stuff should change the way that they look at
