Obesety, how dangerous is it?

So, my weight loss adventure has not been the best. I wonder why do I gain weight? I think the better question is why do I eat what I eat? I think most of it is to comfort my emotions. I wonder at the world. My dad has been on this health kick. As I think about my own weight and my friend and I have been talking about eating healthier I wonder why america has become so lazy in what they eat and how much fat they obtain. If you think about the amount of calories you are to eat and the amount that you actually eat in a day, it's no wonder amarica has become the largest country in the world. Ok may be not the largest, but pretty close. I found this interesting website about obesety: http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-Obesity-Dangerous?&id=2071208
I'm not saying to be fat is to be a bad person. I hope this entry doesn't offend anyone at all. Mostly it's for me to get motivated to eat healthy and to feel heatlhy and hopefully to motivate us all to feel healthy and eat healthy and to follow the word of wisdom. Hey, I still want to enjoy my cheesburger and cookie once in a while, but we have been given these bodies. Let's take care of them!
