Do you know someone who is obese? Most of us know how obsesity can change a person's character. Do you know how obesity can hurt an obese person's feet. In order to understand things, we sometimes need to bring them to our own line of personal experience. You will better understand how obesity hurts your feet if you can relate your own personal situations to that of an obese person. Imagine how obesity changes a pregnant woman's feet and see if you can relate that to being obese for more than a few months but for years.
Ask any woman who was once pregnant and who went rapidly from 108 pounds to 158 pounds how the change in weight affected her feet. Chances are that she will tell you that her foot went from a size 6 to a size 10 in shoes. That change in shoe size was due to the increase in weight. What obesity does to the foot is to cause it spread since the foot is natural formed to support the body. The heavier you become, the more pressure you put on your feet to hold your weight. Besides getting bigger feet, you might also get fallen arches. If your weight continues to increase, you will soon have no foot arches at all. Those are real effects of obesity on your foot and the worst scenario is that you may soon not be able to walk at all if you become morbidly obese.
Other affects of obesity on your feet are found further up in the foot, the ankle. The ankle is responsible for a person's balance and walking ability. If your weight reaches the stage where there is undue pressure put on it, your ankle will practically disappear as fat tissues surround it. The pressure of those fat cells on your ankle will cause enormous pain which will also seriously impede your ability to walk or even to put on shoes. If you have ever noticed most seriously obese people choose to wear slippers and refuse to wear shoes. Aside from the fact that obesity can make it very hard for you to bend over and put your shoes on, your feet are in such pain from the ankle pressure and from the weight on your arches that closing them in with shoes becomes close to torture.
Obesity can cause other serious problems affecting the tendons in your legs. You can get swollen feet that might resemble gout but have no treatment options other than diet to get any relief.
Other affects of obesity on your feet can be the formation of fat pockets that look like round fatty white warts. The most serious affect of obesity on your feet aside from the pain and the change of foot structure is, of course, your slowly deteriorating foot bone and muscles from the aggravating intrusion of fat and sugar deposits that literally eat away at healthy bone and muscle leaving only swollen fat deposits in their wake.
But in the first paragraph you claim that besity causes a change in character?
How asanine. Do you even know the meaning of character? Apparently not.

Your primary job as an Ambassador is to kick off thoughtful discussion threads around products, services. Your discussions can be on any topic in Knoji's category system. Here are some examples of the types of discussions you'll be starting:
Requests for recommendations for any type of product or service, examples:
People on Knoji ask questions seeking recommendations for products and services. We encourage our community members to answer questions whenever you can make a useful recommendation towards any request.
When pointing to specific products, please link to specific product pages on Amazon.com or Walmart.com
UPDATE: Ambassadors earn bonuses for answering questions, however - only answers which include products links (as described above) will earn bonuses.
You should include screenshots of the products you recommend (Ambassadors: you earn increased rewards when doing this)
Try to recommend products that you've had personal experience with. If not, it is acceptable to recommend products or options based on thorough research you do online.

To qualify as a working coupon, the link or code must provide a discount above and beyond what's freely available by default on the vendor's site.
To check this, first click the link and check that the coupon can be applied and does provide the discount described. Then, in a different browser, open the vendor's site (without using the Knoji link) and check whether that same discount is available to any user by default. If it's not, and the coupon works, then you've found a qualified coupon and can verify it and get your earnings. If not, you can verify that it does not work (explain why this is) and you'll earn a smaller credit.
Don't waste your time verifying invalid coupons! Before you receive payment, all your verifications will be reviewed, and if they are invalid, you earnings will be deleted. Verify only valid coupons in order to receive payment for this project.
People, need to remember that our feet carry and support our upper body weight, a daunting and sometime painful task...promoted
