So you’ve taken the first step and visited the “Your Weight Matters” Web site and now you want to learn more about your weight and health. Well, let’s get started.

 

In the past, weight has been looked at as a cosmetic issue. Quite often, people feel pressured to look “supermodel” thin or have a “bodybuilder” physique. The realty of that is… simply… not real. There is; however, one very real realization today that has to do with weight and that is – health.

 

There are many health implications that accompany excess weight, such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and others. Sometimes weight can even affect emotional health as well. It is not uncommon for someone dealing with weight issues to be affected by depression or a lack of self-confidence.

 

Gaining excess weight and having a realization of the health implications is not always the easiest thing to recognize. In fact, most Americans do not realize that they are overweight or even at risk for weight-related conditions. This is why it is so important for you to realize that YOUR weight does matter and the weight of those you care for and love.
