Obesity is one of the biggest health issues in our society today. There are a lot of diseases associated with obesity. In women particularly, there is a high risk of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, gall bladder disease and infertility. The alarm for me is ringing loudly each time I confront the scale. I could already feel the LOAD through my painful heel and the painful feeling of not fitting into my pants. There is also this feeling of dread inside since my OB told me that I have a major weight issues and it affects my fertility. I have to loose a LOT of weight. With these stress around and inside me, I could not help but grab some sweets and have a slice of happiness once in awhile. Geeezzz.
