It's almost certain that anyone surfing through the Internet, searching for ways to beat obesity, has stumbled upon tasteless jokes on the matter.
Try typing any "obesity" related word on youtube.com, and among the results you'll get hundreds of misleading ads (we'll deal with this matter in another topic) and even more "funny videos".
The problem with the aforementioned "funny videos" is that some times they're not funny at all for those who are obese.
Especially if you combine the words "obesity" and "funny", this phenomenon becomes more apparent.
Many times I've seen videos, or pics with "humorous" captions that made me feel bad, or even angry.
So I've decided to reverse this feeling by posting some non-offensive funny videos about obesity.
Remember, taking matters too seriously can only make things worse.
Besides if anyone has the right to laugh in the face of cellulite, it's US, the "fat" people :D.
Some really useful advice on how to get fat:

As I promised each week I will be posting my progress.
Last week's goal was to lose 1 kg (2.2 pounds)
My new measurements are:
Weight: 97.1 kg (214 pounds)
Waist: 98 cm (38.6 inches)
Hips: 125 cm (49.2 inches)
This means I lost 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds).
Yay! Not bad for my case :D
So now it's time to be placing some new goals, isn't it?
I'll try to lose another 1kg (2.2 pounds) within the next week.
My final goal is to weight 55 kg (losing 42.1 kg or 92.8 pounds). A pie chart on the left of this post will be showing my progress towards my final goal.
Everyone who's been trying to lose some serious weight by dieting, should by now know that there is more than one method.
The most known approach, is reducing the amounts of food one consumes, or reducing calories (though it's not exactly the same thing).
If you've been into the dieting for some time, you should have found by now, two very good excuses to avoid this type of dieting (at least I have):
During low calorie diets I felt constantly hungry and my metabolism was getting used to having less energy to burn. This meant that I should reduce the calories I was eating a bit more, till I get stuck again. At the end of such diet (if successful) the problem is this: Your metabolism is much lower than when you started, so gaining weight by eating the same amount of calories you used to eat is much easier.
Plus having to calculate calories all the time isn't fun, both for you and your company.
Being tired of this kind of dieting I've tried a number of other solutions, some of them worked but others were more harmful than helpful.
Today I know this… starving is not ok, and the results most of the times are just temporary, but don't forget that you're on a diet, no pain no gain, reducing the portions you consume will make a difference.
Eating less (NOT starving) and eating right makes the trick.
"I found a new subject, something I HAD to share with the world"
How I did it: Till now I really didn't enjoy blogging. Yesterday I realized I could blog about something I didn't like to talk about but I really needed support with.
So I started Not Me Yet , in order to find other people having obesity problems.
Lessons & tips: Don't just blog, find something that you want to tell to the world. Do it in order to help others by giving advice, or to get help for yourself (I do it for both).
It took me 2 days.
It made me Happy
