Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What it’s really like to live with obesity or
identify as fat
Is one’s body size the only indicator of
their health or happiness? Though obesity is known to increase one’s risk of
having physical conditions like obesities, that doesn’t really mean the person
is lazy or unhappy, or their stomach is oversized, and appetite is outrageous.
In fact, there are both nature and nurture causes for one’s weight. Yet hundreds
of genes are responsible for one’s body weight that cannot be controlled by the
person’s will, lifestyle or physical activities, they are often regarded as lazy
or a bad eater. Accordingly, those whose weight is beyond “normal” feel embarrassed,
isolated, or even discriminated. Also, nurture, such as culture, education,
lifestyle, and self-disciplines, plays a role in one’s weight, too. But there
are a lot of other people whose weight are normal despite their lousy lifestyle
or terrible eating habit. If you look at a fast-food restaurant or junk-food
stand, are all the customers are fat?
Then, how do those people with overweight live
and enjoy their lives?
Enjoy reading the article to learn what they
feel about their weight.
