    Being overweight is uncomfortable, limiting, and can be a burden on people around you

    While I am not disagreeing in any way, I believe it’s important to point out that there’s also a distinct difference between obese and overweight. Often times overweight is being used as an adjective to indicate that someone is outside the normal weight range, but in the context of medicine and the context of this article, it’s a range of BMI values between the normal and obese categories.

    Quality of life measures generally find little to no negative effects with the overweight category, but decrease as you continue into obese categories.
