My friend

Question
I am concerned about my friend. I think she is obese, if not, at least overweight. She weighs 77 KG (she recently weighed herself when she was at my house (it was part of a game we played)). And she is only 5 foot! She says when I ask her about her about it that she is just a bit chubby, and that I'm just being uptight because I'm underweight; (I am not underweight; I am 52 KG and I am 5 foot and 2 inches.) Am I being uptight? I just want to know because I am really concerned about my friend -- I don't want to her to die! Please, please help me.

Answer
Your friend does need to lose some weight, but don't worry about her dying from it just yet.  She's more prone to developing diabetes (look that one up through my site or any search engine), respiratory (breathing) problems and other health complications, plus, an overweight youth is likely to have a weight problem for life!

The most ideal solution is to DO more with her!  Don't make a big deal out of weight (it's never going to accomplish anything if you do), but join a volunteer activity or sport together.  Take up something new, like hiking, biking, swimming, dancing or even kick boxing!  

There's a link at my site for volunteer activities in YOUR area/city - take a look.  PLUS there's an outline for eating right without denying yourselves anything you really like.  

I admire you for be aware of this early.  Perhaps you have a calling for the field of nutrition, physical fitness or medicine?

Look into information about health, weight loss and a whole lot more reliable facts and reports at my site.
There are NO sales, NO promotions, NO signing in or giving your email and it's ALL free, honest and NO fraud.

Let me know what more I might help with
