'Tell loved ones they are overweight this Christmas'
Christmas may be a time of indulging for many, but health experts believe it is the perfect time to tell a loved one they are overweight.
The National Obesity Forum and International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk said it was important to be upfront because of the health risks.
Being overweight - particularly around the waist - increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
But a poll by the groups suggests too many people shy away from the issue.
The survey of more than 2,000 people found 42% of 18 to 24-year-olds would not tell a loved one they should lose weight because of a fear they would hurt the other person's feelings....................>>>>.....................>>>>..........................http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16275027

It is not my job nor my responsibility to run another person's life. My life is 'my' responsibility!!
I believe it is called 'CHOICE'!!
