I starred at my doctor’s face, repeating to myself the words he'd just said, ”You have to reduce at least 8 kg!” At that time I looked at him as if he had thrown me into a dumpster. I did nothing but smiled, felt so pessimistic that I could lose my weight drastically.
“I recommend dr.S for you to visit, she’s a nutrition doctor,” he gave me piece of paper while mentioned one of his friend whom he believe could help me.
The next week, I started to visit this middle-aged and friendly doctor. She is so informing and quite satisfying to ask to. She started measuring me after observing what kind of food I used to eat and how my eating habit was. She laughed when she found that my belly-round was only 3 cm smaller than my hip ;) I joined to laugh and visualized my husband’s exhausted face while we were searching through every edge of the stores finding a fit trousers for me. Haha…
We were discussing for quite a long minute until she came up with the conclusion that I have to reduce around 12 kg to get my ideal weight! Something impossible I thought, considering my eating habit. I imagined that I have to bear myself starving. Soo depressing!
At first, following the doctor’s rule indeed makes me starving and I broke it on the first day. However, if I didn’t think of my health or how much money I –exactly my husband- already spent for visiting doctors, maybe I would’ve gave it up. So, I was just trying everyday not to think of anything and keep motivating myself with this slogan: "Just Do It".
Surprisingly, after 2 months I found this magical slogan of Nike makes all my sacrifices worth it. I had been successfully reducing 9 kg without using any drugs at all! Can you feel my joy? I was over the moon! I've been putting an effort and in the end it brings me a delightful real result. It was hard at the beginning, but once I got used to, it's getting easier.
Now, I've adjusted to my new portion of meal –half of I used to- and you know what? Actually the whole process I've been through is not suffering at all from the beginning to the end. It was just my thoughts kept telling me I would suffer!
Trust me, if you just do it and don't think of what the situation will be before you start, you can be as successful as me. This is a reminder for me too : the next time I wish for something seems hard to get, I have to get rid all unnecessary thoughts and simply start it, Just Like Nike! ;)
