Slide 1 : Obesity
Slide 2 : Overview Obesity is a term used to describe body weight that is much greater than what is considered healthy. If you are obese, you have a much higher amount of body fat than lean muscle mass. Adults with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 but less than 30 are considered overweight. Adults with a BMI greater than 30 are considered obese. Anyone more than 100 pounds overweight or with a BMI greater than 40 is considered morbidly obese.
Slide 3 : Treatment *Eat only at the table. No snacking in front of the TV, in bed, while driving, or while standing in front of the open refrigerator. *Learn about appropriate portion sizes. *Consider learning meditation or yoga as a way of managing stress, rather snacking. *Find ways to socialize and enjoy your friends and family that don't involve a meal or dessert. *Consider keeping a diet and exercise journal. This may help you identify overeating triggers in your life. *Find a support group or consider psychotherapy to help support you in the difficult but worthy goal of weight loss.

Slide 6 : Prevention *Exercise and weight loss *Losing weight *Weight management
Slide 7 : Complications *Diabetes *Hypertension *Heart disease *Stroke *Certain cancers, including breast and colon *Depression *Osteoarthritis
Slide 8 : When to contact a doctor Schedule an appointment with your health care provider if you or your child are obese or gaining weight at an extremely rapid rate. Remember that catching the problem early is much simpler than trying to fix it after the person has gained an excessive amount of weight.
