Weight loss is needed because of my health

by Anonymous
(Philadelphia, PA)

Weight loss is needed because my health is being affected. My family history is full of people who have genetic and "nurture-related" health issues. This covers everything from diabetes to arthritis symptoms to fatigue to cardiovascular disease. I am tired all of the time, which I know would be improved with a loss of weight.

I worry that I will get sick and be a burden to my children and family. I also worry that I am setting a bad example for my kids. My clothes don't fit well and my choices for clothing options are becoming more and more limited. I am not proud of how I look. And I do not want to be an embarrassment to my kids.

 My mom was an obese woman too

My mom was an obese woman too. It never bothered me that she was overweight. But as the years went on she put on more pounds. So my little brother born 14 years after me was embarrassed by her in public. He knew better than to say anything, but he would show it in his actions. I think this really hurt her feelings as well.
