Possible Effects of Obesity...
On Health:
- Diabetes
- Gallstones
- Arthritis in the knees, hip and back. Over time, you'll find it harder to be mobile, and the condition is very painful.
- Breast Cancer
- High BP and High cholesterol.If the BP is high, it may cause damage to the artery, this shall cause the cholesterol to stick to the lining of the arteries, over time this shall build up to make a plaque (hard swelling) eventually this shall lead to the narrowing of the artery, leading to lack of blood reaching the heart and body, and causing possible angina, or a heart attack.
- If the blood (and oxygen) supply to the brain is blocked off for too long, it can result in a stroke, which can leave you in a coma.

Story for Leaflet
It started when I ten, my best friend started to bully me, and I started to comfort eat, I became hooked to the TV and computer, and didn't want to go out. I had few friends, and food was my way of escape. My bullying got worse, and I continued to eat junk food, the lack of exercise, and my excessive intake of food, and I rapidly began to gain weight. My addiction became so bad that I went and saw my doctor, who told me my health was at serious risk, unfortunately, I was very stubborn, and ignored my doctor. It was only when I started college that I seriously started to think about losing weight. My lack of confidence and negative self image meant I was reluctant to start dating,and lets be honest, I didn't look too good either. This all made me realize that I need to lose weight, so I visited http://www.bigfatlies.com/, which provided me with helpful techniques, and tasty recipes, which motivated me to lose weight. I now have the confidence to go out and meet new people.
