The fat in your body starts to accumulate. It starts in your stomach, then your arms, legs, thighs, and buttocks. When it has nowhere else to go, it starts building up in your organs. This is very bad for anyone. And the problem is when there's too much fat in your body, it becomes harder to burn off and use as energy. You now have all this stored energy, and yet you are more tired than ever because of your weight.
