Health at every size?
Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Is it possible? Would like to know your thoughts.

ScienceDaily (2009-11-18) — Eight percent of obese people misperceived their body size, believing they did not need to lose weight or that they could afford to gain weight. While those who misperceived their need for weight loss thought they were healthier than others their age, they had the same risk factors for heart disease as other obese patients. Those who misperceived their body size were less likely to exercise and see a physician than their counterparts who accurately perceived their body size.
