In this Modern Era of Fast food and junk food it is obvious why so many people are overweight. It is extimated that 80% of America is Overweight and 28% are Obese. Now, think of that, at least one out of every 4 Americans are considered Obese. I know a child that was adopted from Korea and his foster parents in Korea purposely fed him extra food so he would get adopter, because in their mind that is what they thought Americans liked...fat babies, because America is fat. How do we lose this image? Well honestly it's one person at a time. Each and every person has to take responsibility for their own weight. Being responsible and taking care of yourself is definatley difficult. I've struggled with it my whole life, but losing that extra weight is so gratifying in the end!
