Nowadays, fatness becomes a serious problem to many people. There are three disadvantages of being fatties. Being fat has bad influence on our health, our mood and our relationship.

First, being fat is not good to our health because it can make our metabolism become slower. When metabolism becomes slower it may cause many diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease. For example, my mom is overweight and she can’t control her eating habits so her metabolism become worse, so she went to the hospital and the doctor told her that she has diabetes. Other studies show that the mortality rates of fatty children and teenagers are higher than normal people, especially male.

Second, many obese people feel inferior, even have melancholia. Most obese people, especially females, feel they are not attractive and they don’t have confidence to prove that they can look good. For instance, my friend, Betty was really fat and her classmates always laughed at her and said something impolite to her and it made her afraid to go to school . The reason why they think they are not beautiful is because modern people think being slim is better and more attractive.

Third, sometimes fat people have a hard time making friends. People usually think obese people are always sweaty and smell bad, so they don’t want to be close to them. They can’t find a boyfriend or a girlfriend easily because people usually judge them by their looks. For example, when I was in elementary school there was a classmate who was a fat person and no one wanted to make friends with him because they thought he looked disgusting but actually he was a friendly and polite.

There are many disadvantages to be fat, so we should avoid being overweight. Nowadays many children and teenagers become fatter than before because our eating habits have changed greatly. Fat people should try to shed extra pounds since being fat brings them some bad effects.
