Battling Obesity

Obesity is a condition where natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and mammals is increased to a point where it is thought to be a significant risk factor for certain health conditions as well as increased mortality. Obesity in wild animals is relatively rare, but it is common in domestic animals like pigs and household pets who may be overfed and underexercised.

Excessive body weight has been shown to correlate with various important diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis. It is also considered a risk factor for certain cancers. Interventions, such as diet and exercise as well as medication and weight-loss surgery in severe cases are frequently recommended to reduce the risk of developing disease.

This blog was ready for posting on February 27, 2006. Everything in the archives before today’s date has been posted retroactively to maintain the proper timeline.

You see .. According to my doctors and all of their scientific data .. I am obese..

Practically all of the information found prior to today’s date, posted by me, was originally posted in Real Time either first in my “HART-Attack” Blog at getting-in-shape.blogspot.com/ .. or secondly in my “HARTandYVONNE” Blog at HARTandYVONNE.com. I have since decided to leave my personal blog strictly for family issues, all our wedding pictures and vacation related information.

Okay then - although this is not an entertainment blog, I am apparently still “Battling Obesity” .. I will be documenting my journey in the hopes to assist myself in overcoming this obstacle and getting back into shape .. and I have created a new category to group all of my Battling-Obesity stories in one that I like to call ..

HART: Getting In Shape

note: The lastest posts are on top. The “story” works best if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, and keep hitting “Previous Entries” until the beginning of this blog. Then, read UPwards getting to the current date and time.

Take care.
HART
