[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2151846, member: 513948"] In fairness i think some times its where some ones trigger is, one persons trigger inst the same as some one elses, especially over the long term. I have been told for years, being about 105kg that i'm obese and need to loose weight or it will cause me problems I have been told about all the potential complications and i ignored it or made changes for a few months and yo yo back up. I had a bad tummy and part of the diagnosis they checked my liver and said it was getting fatty, they said its associated with obesity and i needed to lose weight to get a healthy liver back or i could be in trouble in the future. I changed for a few months I was diagnosed with type 2 and decided to make a major change. I can see and certainly met people on the course who just took this as the next natural step. Some of those will end up with serious complications and then make a change, some by that point still wont because they don't see a practical way out. In the same way, there will be plenty of people who are over weight or obese who are controlling their blood sugars well with diet and/or medication. They are reducing the increased risks of diabetic complications but are still at risk of complications that are known to be associated with carrying too much weight. It not always an easy thing to fix or get hold of, even though you know its not good for you. [/QUOTE]
