- inactive, on 08/16/2008, -2/+34I know a lot of skinny and in shape guys who never get laid, and I know some fat guys that seem to always have another woman. It's all about how well you play the game and not so much how you look. That being said, however, the in shape guy will have an easier time breaking the ice and starting up a conversation with a woman.

- Pedestrian101, on 08/16/2008, -2/+24It's Bush's fault.
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -1/+19i hate Billy Crystal...
- Jack8274, on 08/16/2008, -0/+16Why does that have to be true. 18 and never even kissed a girl. :(
- inactive, on 08/15/2008, -6/+21Remember Billy Crystal: To look good is to feel good...
You need to have pride in yourself first -
Set the goal - create the plan - and go for it! - inactive, on 08/16/2008, -2/+15You could actually live on very little. I hate how food stimulates my dopamine system though! It's so easy to get addicted to eating a lot because of that. As a former fatty AND alcoholic, I have to say, not moving back to eating heavily is harder than not turning back into an alcoholic, even though it's actually cheaper being an alcoholic than a food addict.

1. Diabetes which is a disorder where the pancreas is not producing enough or sometimes not any insulin. Diabetes can lead to a whole host of other medical issues and obesity is one of the main causes due to the body having excess glucose due to overeating.
2. Cancer has many different forms and types and many of them could be prevented with more attention to eating healthy and avoiding obesity.
3. Congestive Heart Failure is a condition in which the heart can’t pump enough blood to the body’s other organs.
4. Enlarged Heart is another heart condition where the muscle of the heart become larger due to being overworked which naturally happens if you are overweight.
5. Pulmonary Embolism is a sometimes fatal blockage of an artery. Being overweight causes most people to reduce activity and after time lack of activity can result in an embolism.
6. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is when cysts develop in your ovaries. These can burst causing even further problems.
7. Gastro esophageal Reflux Disease means that stomach acid and juices flow from the stomach back up into the esophagus. It is common in overweight people.
8. Fatty Liver Disease is a reversible condition where large pockets of fat accumulate in liver cells. Fatty liver can be considered a single disease that occurs worldwide in those with excessive alcohol intake and those who are obese.
9. Hernia is caused when the hole in the diaphragm weakens and enlarges.
10. Erectile Dysfunction is the inability to develop or maintain an erection which can be caused by a medical problem due to obesity or a psychological effect.
11. Urinary Incontinence is the inability to control ones urine and is frequently associated with obesity, weak bladder and pelvic floor muscles
12. Chronic Renal Failure meaning the kidneys fail to work is a much greater risk to those that are overweight or obese.
13. Lymph edema is a condition that occurs from a damaged or dysfunctional lymphatic system sometimes caused by people suffering from obesity actually crushing the lymphatics.
14. Cellulitis is clinically a spreading infection involving both the dermis and subcutaneous tissues due poor lymph flow caused by obesity.
15. Stroke is a lack of blood supply as the body has to work harder when you are obese.
16. Pickwickian Syndrome is mainly characterized by sleep apnea due to obesity placing an excessive load on the pulmonary system.
17. Depression is a condition where a person feels extremely sad all the time. Even to the point of being suicidal. This can be greatly enhanced for someone that has a weight problem.
18. Osteoarthritis is a clinical syndrome in which low-grade inflammation results in pain in the joints, caused by abnormal wearing of the cartilage oftentimes due to obesity.
19. Gout occurs when uric acid accumulates in the blood. Nerve endings then become irritated causing extreme pain made worse by carrying extra weight.
20. Gallbladder Disease commonly affects overweight people as a result of high blood cholesterol levels and causes gall stones. - AeroMerde, on 08/16/2008, -2/+13You can eat 800 calories a day. Enjoy. I'll stick to a normal amount.
- outoforder, on 08/16/2008, -1/+10This is an informative article, but I didn't really need to read it. Being overweight is never a good thing.
- ultraJesus, on 08/16/2008, -1/+9That's it. I'm going for a run.
- browwiw, on 08/16/2008, -2/+9#21: Scuffed knuckles from punching the ***** out of anemic skinny bastards.
- EarlOfLade, on 08/16/2008, -0/+6I don't know why people are digging you down, there are a lot of fetishes out there. You, the reader, may not like it or even want to imagine it, and, quite frankly, int this case, neither would I. But then again, you, the reader, would probably feel the same way with some of my fetishes...
Arrghh.. English sucks, why not have words that distinguishes between 'you' - singular and 'you'-plural. For as many words as the English language has, it is extremely lacking in many areas. - spinur, on 08/16/2008, -1/+7Did anyone actually look at where this came from? This is an unreferenced post on a company web-page for a company that sells a test that will help you modify your diet. It's NOT unbiased information, it's NOT peer-reviewed or published information. This is misleading and in some cases out-right false.
- Stevethegreat, on 08/16/2008, -0/+5Overweight people more than less frequently are as healthy as people on normal weight, we talk here about obesity which is not just being overweight.
BTW I was never overweight but I know people who are (not obese) and some of them are in their 80s leading very active lives. There are also studies reflecting my anecdotal experience. The thing of the matter is that people neglect to use their bodies, it has nothing to do with lack of exercise but with lack of doing simple every day things, like bicycling to the store that is half a mile away instead of taking the car etc... - Dobby156, on 08/16/2008, -5/+10but im so ***** hungry
- inactive, on 08/16/2008, -5/+10If you're hugely overweight, then join some chubby chaser communities. There's actually a lucrative fat fetish sexual community out there. There are some guys and girls, and not all are fat themselves--in fact some are very skinny, which confused me--who just melt over the sight of a hugely obese guy or girl. It's real sick, I know. I had a 350 pound friend a few years ago who joined into this fetish community, and he had more sex than I'll ever have in my lifetime. I think he's still a member of it to this day, and probably getting pussy left and right like before.

- MrFlibble1, on 08/16/2008, -0/+4D'ahling, you 'rook mah'velous!
- wave789, on 08/16/2008, -3/+7I'd think lack of sex is horrible enough a consequence of obesity.
- azAZ09, on 08/16/2008, -0/+4Unless, of course, a global famine occurs.
- castrup, on 08/17/2008, -0/+4Buried in a crusade against top-ten (twenty) lists.
Also, for doing the "obesity epidemic" thing. It's not epidemic. If it was, you could get fat by talking to/touching/licking/doing a fat person. - inactive, on 08/16/2008, -0/+4But he was mahhhhhvelous!
- darkzealot89, on 08/16/2008, -0/+4Not sure why you are being dug down, that is a working mirror people!
- almk, on 08/17/2008, -0/+3Bury this.
It's an undocumented list of correlations, not causations. For instance: #6, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: there is only correlation with weight and PCOS, not causation. In fact, most doctors believe that insulin resistance, which can lead to obesity, is a factor in causing PCOS. Which means that people actually gain weight because they have the disease, not the other way around. And don't get my started on depression.
All of these conditions supposedly "caused" by being obese are in fact things that anyone can get, maybe with the exception of fatty liver. - Lewiji, on 08/16/2008, -1/+4Yeah, you only need 1/3 of the amount of food if you're jaymzdean and expend no energy sitting in a computer chair being a rebel on the internet.
- inactive, on 08/17/2008, -0/+3You have a lot to learn, buddy. I know a couple of 400lb dudes who get chicks left and right. It's all about the attitude.
- duihomer, on 08/16/2008, -1/+4***** WordPress!
- SiXiam, on 08/16/2008, -0/+31 kilo = 2.2 lbs
So 100k = 220lbs - wtfbatman, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3That, and it's more recognized that Type 2 Diabetes is linked more often to people who are overweight.
I have Type 1 Diabetes and I am 19. I am overweight but the anyone would with a brain would tell you that it wasn't caused by my weight. Genetics seems to have made my pancreas decide that working at 5% efficiency would be awesome. :(
Article buuuuuried. - johnleemk, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3It's the metric system dumbass. The website is Canadian. 100kg works out to a bit more than 200 pounds, as you might have noticed if you looked a little closer.
- minerva42, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3I think that's measuring kilos... 100 kilos is equal to about 220 pounds.
- purelithium, on 08/16/2008, -0/+3I clicked on this submission for the simple fact that I KNEW it was already a victim of the Digg effect.
- SiXiam, on 08/16/2008, -1/+3Fatty!!!

I'm a bit of both food addict, and an occasional heavy drinker (ever since I quit smoking weed), your honest observation has given me something to think about.Thank you.
- almk, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2I stopped reading when they mentioned PCOS because it isn't caused by being overweight. This article lists correlations, not causations. Crap, buried.
- liuite, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2I do not attribute these diseases solely to obesity. Many of these diseases are caused by glycated protein from cooking at high temperature and/or elevated blood sugar level.
- livejamie, on 08/16/2008, -2/+4Yet another beautiful example of irony provided to you via Wordpress.
- itsripitsrip, on 08/16/2008, -0/+2not being able to see ones penis.
- mearom, on 08/16/2008, -2/+4LOL the thumbnail next to the article description is pushing 100, so much for being a supermodel
- silkysaul, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Cookie?
- katorga, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Bah. The current fashion is to ridicule, bash and discriminate against the obese, and in my experience it is just discrimination against the poor, rural and/or working class.
- JDLamb88, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Whew good thing I don't have any ovaries. Btw I love people who say "omg do you know how unhealthy being overweight is" and then binge-drink and chain smoke all night till they purge themselves to sleep.
- techdever, on 08/16/2008, -1/+221. Database Error
- jaymzdean, on 08/16/2008, -7/+8Hint:
Human beings require only 1/3 the amount of food recommended to consumers for good health..
The question is are you a human being or a consumer? - poitzort, on 08/16/2008, -3/+4Buried. It's a common myth that diabetes is caused by being overweight. Correlation does not imply causation and not a lot is known is about the cause(s) of diabetes.
- avonalt, on 08/16/2008, -0/+1Half are fatasses. The other half are in denial
