Imi, I hear what you are saying about it not affecting your life at the moment. I also know plenty of bigger people who are fit but I am just saying that you also have to think of the future and problems you will have later on. Obesity often is very serious as you do get older. I know it is hard to think of that now and when you are young but you really don't want to be ill later do you? Of course you have the freedom to do what you want to do. All I am saying is get the right information to hand on what could happen later on and then make your choice. It is kind of like a gamble but the odds of getting ill later are very, very high.
