Five Disadvantages of Obesity ( Anti-Thesis )

No one wants to be fat. I believe obese people didn't want their situation, I mean they just lack self-discipline. Well yes, at some point it is their choice to be that way. It is a matter of controlling and disciplining yourself.  


Looking for articles about obesity, I found an article entitled "The Countdown - 5 Disadvantages of Obesity That Would Inevitably Affect the Obese". Since there are now several cases of obesity all over the world, the writer of the said article came up listing things that could possibly happen or obese people experiencing right now.


According to Sivadi Kisho, there are five disadvantages of obesity:


1. Health Deterioration

Obviously, this is the main disadvantage of being an obese, you can get different health problems. Cancer, diabetes, hypertension and heart problems are some of the health risks. The more an obese person ignores these health issues, the more chances of having death as a result.


2. The Feeling of Depression

Obese people are aware of the disadvantages of obesity. They know that being obese comes with encountering different problems like having health problems and receiving criticisms from other people. And with this, they feel sad and depressed. 


3. Sexual Issues 

Studies show that obese people experience lack of sexual enjoyment and sexual desire. Of course, if a person does not engaged in any sexual activity at all, this disadvantage seems no effect for them.

4. Social Problems

Judgement and criticisms are normally received by people who are unacceptable for the society and obese people are one of those. They are most likely to experience bullying from the people around them. And almost everyone wants a sexy or hot girlfriend or boyfriend, that's why obese people feel rejected every time. There is a tendency that they can't confess to someone because they know that the one they like will never love them back.

5. Goals are harder or impossible to accomplish

It is hard to achieve your dream if you are not physically fit. Almost every thing that we do requires physical contact. You can't acquire success by just sitting and thinking. There is a need for action and you need to be engaged in physical activities. But how can you accomplish your goal if you can't even discipline yourself from eating?

Knowing these disadvantages can actually help obese people to somehow change their lifestyle for good. At least think of yourself first before others. Instead of thinking what they think about you, think of what you can actually obtain from being fat or obese aside from these things. Think of your health and your own happiness first.
