As a registered nurse, the health risks of being very overweight (including heart attack, stroke, hypertension, diabetes and stomach disorders) were well known. In fact, I experienced a few of them myself before learning the facts that work.

While the physical symptoms of overeating are obvious and discussed openly there are social symptoms that many individuals struggle with privately as well including discrimination and lack of self confidence.

The statistics show that obesity affects every age from young childhood to teenagers to older adults.

While sources vary, statistics show more than 95% of individuals regain their weight within 1 year of stopping their diet and add additional pounds in the process.
