والعنق عنق الغزال قال اكس به عقدين لؤلؤ وياقوت مقلد حيث مرجانه والصدر بستان

والبطن طاقه حرير مثمنه الفين والخصر قبضه وفيها الوصف الوانه

The English may employ a dissimilar approach, an hour glass figure may be a closer illustration of what they may find eye-catching. The French with their impartiality of devouring frog legs may decide on a similar delicacy, that with slender elongated pins, a complete disparity to what the Sudani’s may anticipate to lay hold of!! Whatever contour a nation’s women are, there is no doubt that a detrimental obsession with the expected, preferred and acceptable appearance has laid down the stepping stones for the swarm of acute body conscious diseases many females face.

A viewer may look forward to watching an analytical, victim blaming and finger pointing television episode of larger than life women one day, and a sensitive, hormone flying one the next with gaunt women with no much more than a lettuce leaf passing their lips. Who’s to blame in all this? Are they the women whom either have lost self-assurance in their lives that they turn food foes into friends or those whom bar any such foes from crossing their desiccated lips lest they never flavor the sensations of a man’s kiss again? Or are they the men whom play silent or conniving preying games by not valuing the pressures they place by gazing at other more fanciful women, by rehearsing poetry of their ideal goddesses or by just rubbing women’s noses in their talent to consume everything under the sun without gaining an inch? (Not quite true but we mere mortals do like to push men to the edge!!).Or, is it… the big brother sanctioning that seeks to pull our puppet strings and compel us to boogie to their tune… the media?

Becoming a size zero (UK size 4) or a size 60 are in themselves mirror images of identical problems. Women despondent one way or the other, with life, upbringing, financial, environmental or social state of affairs whom have permitted someone or something to press a fixated, compulsive switch in their minds and seize control out of their hands. No human ought to scoff excessive amounts of foods and likewise, none should be condensed to the level of not being able to take pleasure in what delicacies this world has to offer as part of chastisement for not conforming to a precise image. Humans are evolving as insatiable beings with superior expectations and losing the endurance in accomplishing the results. Swift fixes have become the norm, in much the same way computers will soon be fitting into our pockets. This of course lures vastly multifaceted problems as fitting smaller and smaller components into a restricted space will collide with the quality of the fitted gadget. ‘’Smaller’’ and quicker sugary and fatty fixes could potentially generate an unfulfilled, meager product with less capacity to carry out work to its full promise. Upon flipping the coin, we find that fitting too small a gadget into a pocket will create a sizable gap which is left hollow and a target to gloom, frustration, loss of self-belief and fatigue.

What does this all mean for Yemen? Will we steadily see a boom in pigeon nosed, short tree-trunked legged women and men with rolls of fat too weighty for their hereditary pettily built frames and physiques? Will we live to witness waddling ducks bathed in black cloth or once masculine daggers perching on a hill top rather than a flat pack? We may sneer but weight illnesses have already reached the shores of the gulf which begs the question what will hinder it from reaching our ‘’Sound of Music’’ hill tops? Fast food retailers have spiraled in number, the wealthy have the means for much more and the alluring seductions of Western trials do not succumb to culture.

Should such disproportionate eating practices be systematized as diseases? Should conditions of weight loss be imposed prior to placement on hospital operation waiting lists? Should the media be allowed to occupy supremacy in frolicking with women’s minds by posting digitally air brushed, lengthened and sucked in women as the reality of our surroundings?

Curves define Venus, shapely differentiates her from Mars and mouthy sets her other half straight when he misbehaves whilst shopping. But until women believe what men think of them in their selected dress, social pressures will always prevail. Socio-economic status contributes principally to the dispersal of illnesses and that does not differ for obesity and anorexia.  Put simply, the poor are able to afford the cheaper junk food and the rich have to keep up with the Jones’s!!

Society needs help, and the day I saw the U.K documentaries of an obese dog’s owners charged with neglect, and the enquiry embarked on for the placement of an 8 year old child into foster care and charging the mother with abuse was the day I exposed my eyes to the desperate world we live in.

Yes there are Yemeni Metrosexuals. You do not want to get near them.     Fact It is more difficult for a woman to keep in shape after getting fat from consecutive pregnancies.     Fact: Our bodies are still adapter to the changes over last few generations from hunter gatherers and field workers and warriors to desktop, sofa, and tv junkies.     Fact Fat is "biggest" killer in rich countries.     This is not easy.   It is worse for women.   I need to start exercising before the beginning of the summer.
