Even so, the number of people with a serious weight problem keeps going up. If you are one of those people, you probably already know that weighing more than you should is bad for your health. If you are severely obese, you have higher risk for problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Plus, weighing more than you should can affect the way you feel about yourself. It can give you a negative self-image. It also can cause you to become socially isolated.
