Can you be fat and healthy?
The text starts out with a woman named Kelly Bliss with a BMI that scores higher than 35 Kelly Bliss is clearly classified as obese. However her blood pressure is as low as 100/50 and her cholesterol and blood sugar are normal, now that’s not what you would expect of a woman of her size. She even walks 10 – 20 miles a week. Many people might think that you can’t be fat and happy but Kelly Bliss proves them wrong. Kelly Bliss is just an example of a person who isn’t affected by society’s constant pressure that tells people that in order to be healthy and therefore happy and look good then you have to be slim. Studies actually show that overweight and active people may be healthier than a thin and sedentary person. In many cases people always look for the easy way out of their weight problem when what they really have to do is to realise that if you want to lose weight then you have to accept that it is a constant battle and you have to change the way you live your life in order to change your relationship to food.
