For many years, I fluctuated between being chubby and slim, never really paying much attention to my figure. While other friends were troubled by their obesity or thinness, I once thought that these issues were irrelevant to me.
However (many things go wrong because of this "however"), when my happy life soaked me like honey until I felt bloated, I realized that I had unknowingly gained a human flesh lifebuoy around my waist. The carefree grace of the past had become a thing of the past. Regretfully, I realized it too late. When I finally noticed, beautiful clothes had already left me far behind. My delicate face resembled a freshly steamed bun, and my previously proud long legs had almost turned into two lotus roots. How could I still maintain my beauty in front of my husband? Flipping through yesterday's photos of my elegant self and looking at today’s reflection in the mirror made me feel like they were two different people. Good grief, is this still me? In an instant, I understood the pain of my overweight girlfriends.
So, let's lose weight! Konjac capsules, it's time to keep the tail of youth extended infinitely! This is the most dangerous moment!
Although I have never regarded losing weight as an important matter, suddenly starting to lose weight seemed aimless. But haven't we all seen pigs walk even if we haven't eaten pork (the pig says: where did you miss a bite, otherwise you wouldn’t be like me now)? With such advanced information nowadays, formulating a small weight loss plan is a piece of cake. So, I searched on Baidu, Google, and Sogou, kept weight loss magazines close at hand, and shamelessly asked my friends for advice. A short, medium, and long-term weight loss plan was quickly formulated (still thinking about the dog ignoring the buns).
In the morning, I decisively said goodbye to breakfast, only ate the smallest portion of vegetarian mixed dishes at noon in the company, and spent my evenings with a few fruits and a cup of water. To resist temptation, no meat dishes were prepared at home. Within a week, my husband began to complain: after 30 years of reform and opening up, are you making me taste pre-liberation life again? Is it for reminiscing about hardships or negating my hard work? I nervously apologized: isn't this for your eyes' pleasure? You're also a beneficiary... My husband summarized in one sentence: obsessed.
He said his, I did mine. After less than a week, despite the burning passion for weight loss, I couldn't resist the allure of those adorable foods. My gaze at the food counter while shopping with my husband reminded him of some legendary animal - green eyes, lowered forelimbs, straight hind limbs... My beloved snacks, my beloved braised pork, my beloved stewed ribs, my beloved... For the grand plan of losing weight, there must be no relaxation. Losing weight should be treated as a tough battle, a significant matter concerning happiness, family harmony, and career prosperity... But (another annoying "but"), oh my stomach, why don't you cooperate?
By the third week, my weight seemed to have slightly budged, but along came a sallow complexion, lackluster eyes, and fatigue. I was lethargic all day, even arguing with my husband lacked energy. Until one morning, I discovered fine wrinkles appearing at the corners of the woman in the mirror's eyes. I was so shocked that I almost screamed. What's going on? Why didn't I lose any weight, but wrinkles appeared instead? Cursed dieting has caused nutritional imbalance. At noon, I ordered a Dongpo elbow, rich in collagen, effective against wrinkles. Thus, my first attempt at losing weight ended in failure!
Not long after, seeing the white-boned beauties at the company and hearing my husband's leisurely talk about my first weight loss attempt during tea breaks, I secretly resolved to continue losing weight until the end.
This time, I learned from my previous mistakes. On one hand, I carried out the weight loss plan low-key (knowing to consider face-saving or leaving a way out in case of failure?), and on the other hand, I further optimized the weight loss plan (dieting is not the only way to slimness!). I carefully planned a dietary regimen, exercise plan, short-term and medium-to-long-term goals, and established weight loss discipline. In short, the plan was more scientific, rigorous, and implementable. Ha ha, if I can handle the heavy workload given by my boss, why can't I handle this body fat?
This time, I didn't deliberately diet. Instead, I focused on nutritional and caloric balance in my food. High-sugar, high-calorie foods were all passed on, proteins and vegetables were selectively consumed, and detoxifying and beautifying foods were highly beneficial. Moreover, exercise was indispensable. The long-sealed treadmill at home regained its vitality. I took on more outdoor running jobs, and believed in standing instead of sitting, sitting instead of lying down, and doing a few sit-ups before sleeping... All activities that increase caloric consumption were welcomed. After persisting for a month, I secretly stepped on the scale. Ha ha, I lost 5 kilograms, and I was overjoyed.
Continuing persistently, seaweed, black fungus, seafood, beef, mutton, poultry, and various other foods appeared on my dining table in rotation. Diverse types of food consumed in small quantities plus appropriate exercise made fat disappear quietly. My husband indulged in delicious meals and smiled happily. Two months later, the human flesh lifebuoy around my waist quietly disappeared. My puffy face returned to its almond shape, and my lotus root-like legs gradually became slender and straight. After another weigh-in, I finally returned to my school graduation weight. I was so pleased that I frequently flaunted in front of my husband, making him dizzy. My girlfriends all sought my advice: what miraculous medicine did you take? I disdainfully replied: cut, relying on drugs will rebound. Let me tell you slowly...
After successfully losing weight (barely counted as success), I reflected deeply. Who secretly injected fat into my body? Upon pondering, it turned out to be those bad living habits - snacks, large chunks of meat, ice cream, sweet cream... Enjoying the taste brought suffering to my waist and abdomen.
Therefore, losing weight is endless and happens every day.
