Some obese people not see themselves as fat

Many obese people not see themselves as fat and in fact, they think you're healthy-or so says a new study.

Talk about a "the glass is half full" type of person I am that was so!

The problem is that this positive attitude does not dispel the fact that the obese are at increased risk of death, namely heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, etc.

Published in Archives of Internal Medicine, scientists gauged awareness of body 2056 men and women already participating in a study, surveying people about their perception of the body.

Researchers asked participants to look at the pictures and choose the size of the body ideal. people who chose digits were the same or their actual body larger were classified as "misperceiving" the size of their bodies, but these people were also more likely to be happy.

However, worry warts that recognize that it is fat and shape tend to be less happy.I am willing to guess that only exacerbates the problem.For you Shaun of the Dead fans, meaning "far worse."

Were considered important. scientists found people with higher incomes and a better education were more likely to perceive their body weight with precision, by people or less educated than those with lower incomes.

And here is the problem.Those who misperceived their dimensions, saw the health risks, as the same as people that more precisely identified the size of the body; that is a problem. obese people are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and the list goes on.

All this reminds me of the scene in four weddings and a funeral-doesn't like girly movie, I saw it in a film class in College-where the guy overweight, smoking, drinking, jovial drops dead from a heart attack after hangover, eat and dance at the wedding reception.

I think this is a personality thing. If you're happy go lucky and have fun in a social network, you spend less time be introspective and worry throughout the nitty-gritty. I am a mess miserable, cynical, depressed, then spend a lot of time worrying about my health, but one of my happiest and-as coincidence may have-friends overweight enjoys more life and don't sweat the little things. Well, things are not so small.
