How do I stop the Obesity cycle? |
I am 27 years old, 5'3'', and weigh about190. My entire family is morbidly obese, and I am well on my way to joining them. I don't really eat horrible foods, but am not much for exercise. My weight is seriously depressing me, and takes so much away from the enjoyment of life. I have no energy, no sex life.
