Its a difficult one to really answer as I am sure there must be some people who are overweight and happy but sadly I do honestly believe they are in the minority. However, some people are fortunate to be very confident and despite their size and weight, do look incredibly gorgeous and feel fit and active and if they do get negative reactions from people they have the ability to shrug them off! I suppose if you are such a person then weight is not such a big issue to you and you will be happy in both your own skin and with your life but for a lot of overweight people, life can be a living hell!
However, I urge anyone who is overweight to be very cautious and to think to the future as believe you me, sooner or later your weight will affect your body and your wellbeing and I know first hand just what damage obesity can reek on a person's life! Health is a major factor and when you are young and have your whole life in front of you, middle age can seem a lifetime away and you do not forsee the damage that being overweight can have on your life but believe you me as you get older, no matter how fit and fat you have been throughout your life, it will eventually take it's toll on your body and that is when being overweight can become for many people a very real and serious issue! Just like a smoker .......... you can get away with such bad habits for a good many years but eventually bad habits catch up with you and like so many people we only realise this when the damage is done or it's far too late and the same goes for being overweight too.
If I can offer any advice to anyone, regardless as to whether they are happy being fat or not, then it would be to get you weight down and give yourself the best chance possible of a long and healthy future and if you have a young family to care for then you owe it to them to be around to see them grow up!
