Along with the fun: A look at Obesity


Along with the fun....
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, released its annual obesity rate report, which revealed that 35.7 percent of all American adults are obese.
While it's all of America, the South has the highest rate of obesity – with several states among the top 12 that have obesity rates that exceed 30 percent of the population. The 12 are: Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia.
Your Trophy Wife Diva knows that while the majority of this is attributed to diet and lack of movement, part of the numbers are because of genetics.  Obesity leads to a greater risk of diabetes, heart disease, arthritis flare, high blood pressure, it's even harder to find cancerous tumors early when you carry to much extra weight. Whatever you attribute obesity too, along with the health risk, obesity is uncomfortable.
Muffin top to bootydo (your stomach looks bigger than your booty do) -it's harder to find fashionable clothes and wipe your poo. On a recent documentary where a woman lost over 300 pounds through surgery she admitted that one of her largest embarrassments was that her husband had to "help her" in the bathroom.

So while we have fun losing the Trophy Wife Diet way...we must remember there are a whole host of reasons beyond aesthetics for whipping our bods into Trophy shape!
