Whenever you’re about to binge, look around, there’s usually someone
\nbigger than you nearby to remind you of your priorities.
\nI hate to say it, but given the epidemic obesity crisis in America, and
\nin many parts of the world, there are always people with weight problems<\/a> most everywhere you go. <\/p>\n

In America, almost half the population is
\noverweight, and one-third of the nation is considered obese.
\nAlmost everywhere you go in America, there’s someone near you with a
\nvery serious obesity problem. This is particularly evident in
\nrestaurants, cafeterias, or buffets. You don’t have to look hard to
\nfind people eating way in excess: ordering three or four course meals
\nwith appetizers and dessert, piling plates high, getting seconds or
\nthirds. <\/p>\n

I find this very upsetting to see, and it’s an ongoing tragedy.
\nWhen you see someone with a weight problem, try saying a silent prayer<\/a> for him or her.<\/p>\n
