I read an interesting article the other day. A Harris poll was done where people were asked for their height and weight and then asked which category they believed they were in; normal size, overweight, obese or morbidly obese.
The results included:
1) 30% of people who were overweight believing they were of normal size.
2) 70% of people who were obese believed they were simply overweight.
3) 39% of those who were morbidly obese thought they were simply overweight.
The results seem to show being overweight is becoming the new norm or we have a lot of people living in denial.
The article goes on to state findings such as these may explain why overweight and obesity rates continue to climb.

Many overweight people think they are normal size.
God bless,
