Good morning.... a study came out yesterday demonstrating that markedly obese people have a 3-12 year decreased life expectancy compared to people who are not obese. This is not earth-shattering news and I think we all inherently knew that being overweight with the associated co-morbidities, will decrease life span.
However, I think it is MUCH more important to focus on QUALITY of life. Let's forget about the mortality issue and focus on quality of life issues. Having diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, breathing difficulties etc are all associated with being overweight. Depression, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, feeling public humilation....all of these can be associated with being overweight and lessen the "quality of life".
Losing weight will make you healthier AND happier.....your choice of focusing on your weight issues is a great choice indeed.
