Obesity Is Contagious
Look at this! Obesity is contagious! Maybe that explains why I have gained 7 pounds since my boyfriend moved in. (He is heavier than me.)
It has been such a struggle lately. I can’t stop eating. I feel sluggish and even a little exertion causes me to be out of breath.
But I am determined to persevere. I have started walking the dog again, and am doing a little time on the elliptical machine every day (for the past 2 days - well, it’s a start!).

If you look up the correct definition of contagious you will find obesity is in fact not CONTAGIOUS.
I understand how it could be considered ‘’contagious'’, in a totally non-scientific way, but it is just not.
You could easily say from this being slim is contagious. You could say smoking, drinking, running, burping is all contagious.
But you shouldn’t because it is totally misleading and quite simply wrong.
