I don't think obesity is a disability. They are two very different things. People eating too much junk food and getting lazy and obese can't be treated on par with the physically disabled.

Obesity is not an easy affliction to deal with.  Not only are some obese people battling a slow metobolism, but often depression becomes a daily struggle also.  I found that even after I lost the extra 60+ pounds I was carrying the depression still got the better of me until I started working on sculpting my body again.  A lot of running, swimming and weight-lifting helped for the core muscle-tone, but I found that a body wrap was the only way to get my skin firm again.  It's been a long road and I hope I've given you a different perspective on obesity.

Would you happen to know of any medicare supplemental insurance that covers obesity? I really don't feel it is my fault and I am tired of being punished for it.
