When I went to my doctor and had my annual physical, he very frankly told me that I needed to lose some of my weight that I had gained since my last physical. I looked him in the eye and asked him why I should lose weight, since I would most likely gain it right back. He told me that I needed to Lose Weight to protect my health and well being. He told me that if I continued to gain weight, then I would most likely become morbidly obese within the next couple of years. I guess that is a good enough reason.
