I never really knew that losing weight would cost me so much - By: Rituverma

I never really knew that losing weight would cost me so much. Had I known it before, I would have never even taken up the process to do so. It all started with a great trip which had a number of memorable moments. I took my wife and little daughter to a ten day long trip to Jakarta. There were a lot of fun activities to do. My daughter Barbara was five years old then and was always engaged in some funny kids activities. I was a little over weight. Well, my wife had other thoughts, but for me 225 pounds is little over. I was the point of focus of some of the most famous pranks, but they were all a part of my sweet memories and I guess they are a great way to spread your happiness. We had a great stay at Jakarta and really enjoyed the holidays. The problem though started on the last day of our stay.

Our room was on the third floor of hotel and there was some technical problem in the lift. The technicians were on the job to bring it back to work. Three floors are never too high and stairs to the ground floor should be easy. At least that’s what I thought. In reality, that was the toughest task I did my entire life. Was sweating and puffing by the time we were down. There was a shine in the eyes of my wife’s eyes. They were saying – “See I told you.” I never realized that I was losing out on health at such a fast pace. That’s when decided to get rid of extra fat and be fit and fine again. My wife also shot a couple of short videos of me totally drained out and even warned me that she would share funny videos with others if I do not start taking my weight seriously.

Back home the next day, I started looking for a good place where I could lose a few pounds. Never really wanted to hit the gym as I certainly knew physical exercises were not my cup of tea. Remembering the moments from memorable trip and the fun moments we had, I choose the easiest way out to lose weight - a few machines that would take care of the weight while I do the routine work. My wife was furious, but I am quite adapt to that as she is always like that when it comes to me being overweight.

On my birthday, I did get a lot of surprise gifts. Surprise because they were all related to me trying to lose weight. Something was wrong. Suspiciously, I got engaged in routine work. When I opened my email, there was a new mail titled ‘do share this funny video’. I opened it and to my amazement, it was me huffing and puffing while coming down the stairs of the hotel. She had sent it to only relatives and had warned me that next mail would be to all friends if did not do anything about my weight really soon. My sweet memories were not sweet anymore and the family fun we had during holidays now had the fear of getting embarrassed as well. I joined the gym that very evening, tried to do the basic level exercises as per the trainer’s guidelines, fell over and broke one bone and a couple of machines. It was all captured in the camera installed at gym and somebody shared funny video on net.

The medical bill, machine cost and gym fee totaled up to a lot of dollars. Guess it’s better for me to stay overweight.
