Obesity

http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/03March/Pages/Obesityincreasesdeathrisk.aspx

According to the Guardian, obese people die up to 10 years early. It's the same with smoking: people now it will harm their health, but they won't stop living the way they do. It hard to understand why people don't untertake any measures when their weight reaches a certain amount. It's not healthy, it's not comfortable, it's (most of the time) depressing. Why can't people stop themselves?

Obesity is an addiction. It is hard to quit, but it is possible. Unfortunately, many obese people don't seem to care enough to get professional help. And if you're gonna use the excuse "it will cost me money" than you have to think about all the money you will save not buying loads of (unhealthy) food. It really seems to be a trend: people can't say no, people can't control themselves, they want something and they want it immediately, they have to satisfy themselves immediately. They don't even stop to take a second and think about it.

Just because it is hard to quit your habit, doesn't mean you shouldn't even give it a try.
