these are just some of the many. Many obese people do not realize the affects it has on them until later..It decreases the happines of life as well.

not me! I've been obese since I got out of college- I'm still healthy and smoking.
I don't notice too many effects by my disorder (yes-obesity IS a disorder). Just a few things such as:

1. I can't run very far. When I do, it hurts my leg hair.
2. I do not fit in the bath tub (kinda sucks).
3. I broke my bed frame.
4. There's never food in the house
5. We had to widen the door frame.
6. If wife isn't in the car, I must add weight on the other side (passenger side)

Good luck on your project. Remember, obesity is a disorder-there is really nothing any of its victims can do-except wait. Wait for the heavenly lord to shine his bright light onto us, and save us from everything.
