I was speaking in an event yesterday when I purposely used the word 'fat', and when I was done, a sister called my attention just to tell me that I should have used the word 'plus-size' instead of fat.

she was quick to call my attention to that because she's getting overweight, and probably wouldn't want to be called 'fat lady'.

Well, I told her, that was the word I wanted to use, and I noticed she became offended.

Now, this is my point, people always want to hear things that will please them and make them happy, instead of challenging them to become better person.

The next time you see a friend or family getting overweight, don't coin it or try to play professional, tell them that they are fat. Provoke their person, and few weeks later, you'll see them exercising and watching their weight.

For some people, being overweight goes beyond excessive eating and not enough exercise. Genetics also play a role. Instead of focusing just on weight, it is important to examine overall health. Fat is just another body shape and size.

Focus on your health, Look out for these nutrition facts to reduce your risk of diabetes. Source: Eagleee http://eagleee.com/detail?newsId=385166

Re: Why Is Obesity Growing Out Of Proportion? by Adakintroy: 5:19pm On Nov 27, 2017
Yahoo boy tells a foreigner a very pathetic story and begs for support. On compassionate ground he is pitied and his request granted.

Yahoo boy goes on a bragging spree, telling everyone maga Don pay. Yahoo sharp girl spent the whole night begging oga at the top for assistance, according to her, mormor just lost a leg. Yahoo girl gets assisted on compassionate ground. Yahoo girl again goes on a bragging spree. Mugu1 just paid.she says to her friends.

For me the most dummest set of husslers are yahoo boys and girls.

Everyone who begs is forever beneath the one he /she is begging from. To think you are above he who renders help to you for whatever reason is for me the worst form of stupidity.

Train your body to burn fat as fuel and you will never be fat. The Fulani diet and lifestyle makes their bodies adapted to fat-burning.
