As he walked into his classroom, he spotted his desk at the back corner and made his way. With each step his breaths became heavier and louder. He reached the desk, dropped his backpack to the floor and squished his way into the desk. His jelly belly hung over his knees and his flabby arms scraped against the desktop.

“Hahaha, look at you! You can’t even fit into your own desk!” exclaimed a child sitting next to him. His chubby cheeks flushed red and tears stung his eyes. It was true, he had outgrown his desk and he couldn’t deny that.

Hamad is a 10-year-old who knows what he likes. The list includes play station, music, and skyping with his little brother.

The list also includes food: eating, snacking and nibbling.

“I want a burger,” Hamad told his mother. “I want a brownie… I want chips.”

But it’s not just a brownie Hamad wants. He also wants French toast, French fries,  ice cream, pasta, etc. …

Weighing 50 kilos, Hamad is the biggest boy in his 3^rd grade class.

But does Hamad really have a weight problem? Or does he just have some extra baby fat?

Yes, Hamad does have a weight problem and so does almost half of Kuwait. Going back to a previous post about Kuwait being the 2^nd fattest country in the world; I can now announce that we have surpassed the United States and have become #1.

According to Mail Online, Kuwait is top of the list with the highest average body mass index with Kuwaiti women having the highest rates!

It’s really sad to see these statistics and I think that we need some more mental awareness going on in Kuwait cautioning that this has become a serious issue. Does anyone have any ideas on what we can do to raise such awareness?

“A healthy outside starts from the inside.” – Robert Urich

To be healthy is one of the greatest blessings one can have in life, for being healthy is a gift from God.

As per the initial results of Kuwait’s Census, Farwaniya Governorate has the largest population of approximately 326,513 with very minimal health care. Therefore, International Clinic has expanded and opened a branch in Farwaniya offering its residents the opportunity for a healthier life. With its smart building structure, 6 floors, and spacious private waiting rooms for its patients, International Clinic has allowed the residents of Farwaniya to come in and feel at home.

The clinic covers a variety of medical services with specialized doctors and nurses for each specific need. They also have a special area for children with a playroom as the waiting area to make them feel at ease.

The clinic also has a blood lab, an x-ray lab and its own pharmacy making it easier for the patients to get everything done in one visit. This is a great leap for the residents of Farwaniya as they now have a proper medical center to turn too whenever needed. May everyone be blessed with good health.

I don’t know if you guys felt anything (I didn’t) but apparently an earthquake occured almost 2 hours ago. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8 and 87 km originated in Khash, Sistan va Baluchestan, Iran. All neighboring countries felt the quake because of its magnitude and according to earthquake track Kuwait has had 3 earthquakes in the past year.

So, I heard Tom CRUIES and Morgan FRRRMAN are starring in Oblivion. Really Cinescape? Really!? And this is the corporate website!!! At least check your spelling mistakes! This is a disgrace to CRUIES, FRRRMAN and to the website itself! It’s sad to see such simple mistakes on a corporate website. I think whoever inserted the names didn’t have their coffee in the morning!

Thanks to [a.alfarhoud] for the tip.

I just received this photo via WhatsApp! How can a bridge so sturdy lose balance all of sudden? Apparently this bridge is located between Fintas and Egaila. Hopefully someone will take action before it collapses and people get hurt. الله يحفظ الجميع
