"Obesity"

          There are many problems caused by obesity. These problems could be either personal or dealing with society. Currently there is a growing rate of obesity due to lack of exercise and the consumption of junk food. It’s up to us to change it.
          Personal problems include low self-esteem. People who are obese gain low self esteem because people who are of average size make fun of them. They are unable to do things as a normal weight person because it is such a hassle. They have to struggle to complete routine duties such as cleaning the house and cooking. Another personal problem for people who are obese are the high risks of getting diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure, cancer and even death. Some people who are obese may have at least one of these conditions. Another personal problem is that it’s an extremely difficult task to find clothes that are your size. Only select stores sell clothes for bigger men and women and they are somewhat pricey. Some even have to have their clothes made.
           Societal problems of obesity are that people who are obese are afraid to go out. People who are obese don’t want to be seen or stared at. They feel odd because they are different from anyone else. Obese people don’t fit into the standards of society. Obese people are socially excluded from things due to their size. Another societal problem that obese people have is finding someone that loves them for who they are because most people judge them by just look at their exterior.
