MY 600 LB Life

 On Saturday nigth I  was watching T.V a program called My 600 lb Life, it was really hard to face the people involved, specially women who suffered from obesity, they can't control their appetite and they gain  lots and lots of weight. Emily, since she was a child she was over weight and then she got married and her weight continued to increase very easily and in her earlies 30's she turned her body into 600 pounds and with many health problems such as cholesterol, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis in most her joints, respiratory problems, Emily's breathing was difficult specially during the night. She also had a heart attack, this is when her husband and her decided she need a surgery to reduce her pounds. In 2004 she was operated and her recovery took a month in the hospital with a lot of pain but she lost 234 pounds, unfortunately she continued to gained weight after her first surgery because Emily had bad nutrition.  Finally she was able to undestand what she could and could not eat. Emily started to change her habits, she incorporated more fruit,vegetables and whole grains in her daily diet. Her  weight was 214 pounds when she got pregnant, now she has a daugther and Emily said for her baby she has to take care of her body very carefully. Many people specially in the USA  suffer from this  kind of disease,because they have a disorders in their alimentation. Many people are eating much more they are suppose to and then they are accumulating so much body fat and this is no good for their health. A  person becomes obese when their  food consumption has consisted of carbohydrates, many sweetened drinks, fast food. Also another problem that increase this disease the modern conveniences devices like a video games, computer,T.V ,remote controls all these thinks leading people to have a sedentary lifestyle,some years ago the life was more healthy. People did  many indoors and outdoors activities, they also enjoyed when they walked to the store, but nowadays you don't need to walk for long periods of time, you just get in your car and drive.
Please look out what you eat and what you need to eat ,control your BMI ( Body Max index ).
