A 38 year old Mexican woman have told her story, about losing weight and the extreme measure she took in doing so. According to her she have tried many weight loss methods including exercises, skipping meals and doing other things in other to shed some pounds.

To her obesity is a disease and was prepared to do any thing to combat it, including the extreme crazy thing she later did swallowing tapeworm

How she discovered it

"one day while was I particularly down with nothing to do, I figured I could do something with my computer, make some more research about my condition. So I went on net, as luck might have it found an article about the top extreme weight loss method that is where I found out that tapeworm can help in weight loss.

I ordered it online and swallowed it."

On why she did that?
I was afraid initially to swallow this tapeworm seeings the worm can grow up to 30 foot, but then I figured since people can eat under cooked infested meats especially in the developing world and still survive, I can get away with it.

Besides thinking of what I've passed through being fat can even make some commit suicide, I lost my husband to a slim woman, and since then I haven't been able to find a date, I've been scorned and made jest of. So it seemed that I had no option other than doing that or killing myself."

Her gains?
"Yea I lost weight alright, and was the envy of many former fat gym partners, who where asking me what I did to lose weight in such a short time."

I didn't tell them because I was afraid to do so, it is just that I don't want them to go through the pains I went through after I swallowed the worm."

Any side effects or disadvantages?

and look like this

Stomach ache and illness were the major negative things I experienced, but I reached the desired weight quickly and then took a drug that killed this worm, before it got the chance to do more damage. Some say that I was lucky that it could have killed me, but if I was, it is because I killed it before it killed me."

You think that eating Tapeworms is the only thing people do to lose weight? Well obviously not, there are some shocking crazy things that people do for weight management.

Obesity is such an issue that people are afraid of it, this big issue cuts across both genders, whether it is a male or a female no one is spared the backlash and negativity that often comes from being overly fat.

In a world where six packs for guys and slim fit for females are cherished, the people outside this are looked at a second time, and then for the 'fatites', it seems that there is no room for people that are fat, they are just being tolerated.

For some people exercise won't do it, cutting back food intake won't do it, taking drugs and supplement doesn't work, they then decide to go the extreme, doing some crazy things that will make the average guy tremble.

Here is list of some shocking things fat people were known to do

1. Eating Tapeworms

This is no secret as lately stories of people that did this are going viral. This is a process where People buy either a live tapeworm or one that is packaged in form of a tablet and swallows it whole.

But does this Tapeworm intake reduce fat?

There are a few different kinds of tapeworms, but it is the Tapeworms that are found in beefs called Taenia, that is usually used in these sorts of quick weight-loss schemes.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, advertisements touted “easy to swallow,” “sanitized tape worms” as a weapon against fat – “the ENEMY that is shortening your life,” as one old ad recently showcased by the National Women’s History  Museum's website.

More recently, reports surfaced that dieters in  Hong Kong were swallowing tapeworms to lose weight. And in 2009, Tyra Banks did an episode  of her talk showing where she interviewed women who said they would be willing to swallow a tapeworm if it really meant they could lose weight. And then there is this report about an Iowa women that swallowed Tapeworm.

The truth is Tapeworms can make someone lose weight, as it is a parasite that depends on what you eat to survive. But it has side effects, if the worm isn't killed, it could grow up 2.2m and kill the host.

2. Fasting

Our christian friends know how this works, after all Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. While no human could possibly go without food for 40 days, some have tried.

As crazy as it seems some have starved them self long enough to lose some pounds, Although this is not easy some will rather do it than face the reality of constantly being reminded of how fat they are.

Does this work?

Technically if you don't eat you wont become fat, and the fat you have will not be there if you don't maintain it by eating. So it works, it is just that this is so difficult to be practical, imagine going without meal 70% of the time, that is plain torture and no sane human will like to do that to him or self. Ulcer can take you over if you insist.

3. Drinking Urine

Perhaps the crazy of the craziest lol, but it is amazing the extent people can go in order to accomplish what they want.

Drinking urine has the fancy name of hCG diet, forget the fancy grammar here is what hCG diet is all about, dieters inject themselves with a hormone found in the urine of pregnant women. This was very was popular in the 1960s and 70s, although it is somewhat gross it still doesn't stop it from experiencing resurgence in recent years.

It’s easy to make light of extreme dieting strategies, but if a person is so desperate to lose weight they're tempted to try something as horrific as inviting a 30-foot worm to take up residence inside their intestines -- well something bigger might be at work here.

Breast ironing is the pounding and massaging of a pubescent girl’s breasts, using hot tools, to try to make them stop developing or to disappear. It is typically carried out by family members who are trying to protect the girl from sexual harassment and rape. They hope it will also prevent early pregnancy that would tarnish the family name, or to allow the girl to pursue education rather than be forced into early marriage.
It is mostly practiced in parts of Cameroon, where boys and men may think that girls whose breasts have begun to grow are ready for sex. The most widely used implement for breast ironing is a wooden pestle normally used for pounding tubers. Other tools used include leaves, bananas, coconut shells, grinding stones, ladles, spatulas, and hammers heated over coals.

Lots of things have been said about this, but lets hear first hand from the victims

“Every morning, before going to school, my mom makes me lift up my top so she can make sure I haven’t taken my bandage off. It’s been two years now and she still checks it on a daily basis. It’s humiliating. I’d like her to stop. When I grow up, I want to be a lawyer or play piano. I hope that wearing this bandage will help me to continue my education.” – Cindy, 14 years old.
“Having breasts was shameful. My grandmother noticed mine when I was 10. One night, she made me lie down on a bamboo bed by the fire. She pressed on me with a hot wooden spatula and tried to flatten them. Even now, I don’t want people to touch my chest.” – Jeannette, 28 years old.
“When my breasts started to grow, people in my house began to talk about it. Neighbors, my mom’s friends, our elders. So much talking! Even I started to feel ashamed because people were talking about it. Eventually, my mom decided to iron my breasts. ‘If we don’t iron them, it will attract men. And we know that men mean pregnancy,’ she said. We needed to kill those breasts, she claimed. She used hot rock on my right boob, then the left, then the right. This went on for weeks. I suppose she meant well. Breasts are what makes a woman beautiful, though. Today, mine are flabby. They can’t even stand.” – Carole B., 28 years old.

“They tell you: ‘Don’t scream, it’s for your own good.’ I haven’t had the courage to talk about it to my children yet. Three days ago, my son asked me, ‘Mommy, why do you have small breasts?’ I told him that I didn’t know. I also have a six-year-old daughter. But I’m not ready to talk about it. I would have loved to breastfeed a future president.”– Carole N., 28 years old.
“I was eight when my mother told me: ‘Take your top off. Do you have breasts already? When a girl your age has breasts, men look at her.’ I didn’t understand what she was doing. Every day, sometimes three times a day, she would flatten my chest with a hot spatula. She would just say: ‘It’s for your own good.’ It was a nightmare. I noticed that the more she massaged me, the more my breasts grew. When she realized it wasn’t working, she used a rock. That was hell. It felt like my body was on fire. A guidance counselor, who I told everything, tried to talk to my mom and get her to stop. I was happy because I thought it was over. But she did it again—with heated fruit pits this time. She massaged and massaged. I packed my stuff and moved to my aunt’s immediately. Sometimes, I try to understand my mother’s actions. It hurts so much when I look at myself in the mirror.” – Doriane, 19 years old.

“My breasts finally began to grow when I was 18 years old. Before that, boys weren’t attracted to my body. I felt really bad about it. My grandmother began destroying my breast when I was 12 years old. I would try to run away from her every morning but she’d catch me. Other kids were going to school and I was being massaged with a hot rock. She did it twice a day for a year. Having breasts is natural, it’s human. When I didn’t have them, I felt like a boy.” – Agnès, 32 years old.
“Pestles remind me of my childhood pains. That same piece of rock people use to crush spices has been used to crush women’s beauty and wilt teenagers’ skin. My breasts began to grow when I was ten and my family thought that massaging was the solution. When I was 16 and got pregnant, they also darkened. A black fluid would come out every time I tried to breastfeed. I have a hard time remembering it all. I decided to forget it and to fight violence against women.” – Cathy, 27 years old.

“She was my mom, so I had to obey when she called for me. Even if I ran, she’d catch me; when I went to bed, she’d grab me; when I was washing myself, she’d get me and start massaging. She’d find a way, no matter what. I could cry all I want, but she would still do it. It felt like she was stabbing something into my chest. She’s dead now. I never really understood what she was thinking—if she thought she was helping me or punishing me. My cousin raped me when I was 13 and I ended up giving birth to his child. I needed to produce milk but I no longer had breasts. We tried to use driver ants. When they sting you, your breasts inflate and it’s supposed to encourage milk production. I’ve had three children and, despite the ants, I haven’t been able to breastfeed any of them.” – Emmanuelle, 23 years old.

“My mother told me that my breasts were going to attract men. So she brought me to a traditional healer. He grabbed a knife, cut my breasts, one after the other, and sucked the insides out with a tube. He told me: ‘If you don’t do it, people will think you’re a prostitute.’ I fainted from the pain. It took days to heal. Breasts are a gift from God.” – Lisette, 34 years old.
