Surprisingly, the angst surrounding desired body weight was more of a predictor of “unhealthy” days than body mass index (BMI). 
In the study, researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health also found that the desire to lose weight was more predictive of unhealthy days among Whites than among African-Americans or Hispanics, and among women than among men.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/02/14/body-image-predicts-health/1915.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/psychcentral.com/img/44953494-BDD6-49E9-A751-10D4192FE67D" alt="woman" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://psychcentral.com/news/2008/02/14/body-image-predicts-health/1915.html">There is evidence that discrimination against heavy people is pervasive, occurring in social settings, the workplace, and the home.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2E1EFD50-451D-4E57-9DA5-F0B93A8ECB3C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
