There’s a new report just out:<\/p>\n

Adult obesity rates increased in 28 states in the past year, and declined only in the District of Columbia (D.C.), according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2010, a report from the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). <\/a><\/p>\n

More than two-thirds of states (38) have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. In 1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. <\/p>\n

What state are you in?  Not just geographically, but are you in a state of obesity?  I for one am always doing my best to keep my weight down, by eating less in general, eating less fats and carbohydrates, and most importantly, increasing my prayers.<\/p>\n

How are YOU?  Please comment below.<\/p>\n
