Excess Weight And Body Fats? Laugh Them All Off

Have you ever heard of the truism “jokes are half meant”? If you
have, do you believe in it? If you have not, then now, you have
read of it and maybe if you read on, you’d be able to think of a
joke of your own which could be half or full-meant I gathered
some of the most popular jokes on health and fitness over the
Internet and after laughing about them, I thought maybe I could
tell something that would prove that these jokes were born out
of the sometimes painful and bitter realities of life
It would really be nice to have a slim and really fit body but
not everybody is blessed with such There are some people, no
matter how much food they take, including calories, fats and
all, who never gain weight or grow fat But to those who are
blessed with tons of excesses in fats and weight, trimming down
is one of the most difficult tasks in the world Especially if
“exercise” and “dieting” are alien terms for them, this humorous
analysis of how the human body was arranged is just right:
I don’t exercise at all If God had wanted me to touch my toes
He would have put them up higher on my body
Sometimes, in the lowest point of your weight-loss campaign
wherein only your weight doesn’t go down and the rest, most
especially your ego, has dropped down beyond the base, you find
ways to console your ultra-bruised and dying ego And one is to
consider that every shape is accepted in the society:
I’m in shape Round is a shape
And then there’s the matter of aging To some, the question is:
why change the course of time? A person’s age adds up and along
with the increase of the age is the gradual decline of the body
It is just a normal process Why put pressure on yourself and
your failing body? Age, time and fats are ganging up on you,
three to one:
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by
then, your body and your fat have become such inseparably good
friends
To choose whether to follow what you think or what you feel is
another difficult task It is an honorable and praiseworthy
thought of working to get into shape But, what would you do if
the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak?
Every time I get the urge to exercise, I lie down till the
feeling passes
And then there are some people whose form of exercise is
sharpening their wits They could utter one-liner wisecracks
that could make it to the funniest sitcom on TV:
The only exercise you get is jumping to conclusions
And who said that only the adults are having a hard time being
friendly with exercising? Take a trip to a school PE schedule
and you might be surprised to hear some outrageous quips coming
from the tots that you think are advocates of physical fitness:
My gym teacher told me to touch my toes I said, “I don’t have
that kind of relationship with my feet Can I just wave?”
Excuses are the most popular forms of escape from the campaign
towards getting fit and healthy Here are some excuses that you
may have sheepishly used once, twice or maybe more than thrice:
· But it was my birthday, so I had to eat the whole cake · I
had to get the bitter taste out of my mouth from eating the
so-called dish, so I had an ice cream · If you eat something
and no one sees you eat it, it has no calories · If you drink a
diet soda with a candy bar, the diet soda cancels out the
calories in the candy bar · If you fatten up everyone else
around you, then you look thinner · Only eat things that have
been broken into pieces; that way, all the calories fall out ·
Chocolate is a vegetable How, you ask? Chocolate is derived
from cacao beans Bean = vegetable Sugar is derived from either
sugar CANE or sugar BEETS Both are plants, which places them in
the vegetable category Thus, chocolate is a vegetable And
there’s just the hardheaded approach, the
I-really-don’t-care-whether-I’m-fat-or-slim attitude that you
may pronounce as a hopeless case It’s actually very easy to
tell, once you hear this line, it’s it: I’m not into working
out My philosophy is no pain, no pain Getting fit and staying
healthy is not a laughable matter – or is it? One thing sure is
that it isn’t an easy task It involves determination, hard work
and some light moments on the side After all, laughing – for a
long period – can help shake those excess fats off And even the
doctors agree it’s the world’s best medicine
