Hello, and welcome to All About HEALTH! My name is Andy Kang, and I am a second year business student studying at Simon Fraser University. My blog is for anyone who is suffering from being obese, and therefore lacks self-confidence. Starting today, I will be talking about the benefits of losing weight, detrimental effects of being obese, and how to lose weight safely. Seeing so many people around me who are suffering from being obese, both physically and psychologically, I couldn't help but notice that obesity is a huge problem of today's society. This is why I have decided to talk about obesity. Before we begin though, I'd just like to inform you that even though I am genuinely interested in this topic, I am not an expert in this field. However, my passion for health is inextinguishable. Together with you, we will learn about obesity one step at a time, and in the end we will overcome it. The process will be tough. You may not get there in one semester, or even in one year. But do not lose hope. Oscar Wild once said: “What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” Let's get this started!
