I feel sorry for people who are worried about dying to a point where they torture themselves just to keep fit. I have seen people sweat buckets trying to lose a few inches from nearly every part of their bodies. I have seen them swim, walk, run, and bike – hard work at great speeds. Somehow, however, each time I see them, they appear to be the same size except that the soles of their shoes have worn out.
I know I am have a little excessive fat – my reserve for lean times. I have tried, sometime ago, to get rid of it through exercise. However, I only managed to relocate it, with unsolicited support of gravity, from the top half of my body to my lower extremities. I have climbed on numerous scales and my weight ranges between 180 and 206 – 30 pounds over my ideal weight. Doctors have told me that if I put on just a little more weight I would be on the “borderlines” of the boundaries that separate me from diabetes, hypertension, and other health complications. I do not know how far I am from the borderlines; however, I do know that there are no border patrols and I will very feasibly cross over them within my lifetime – I can’t possibly let all the good food go to waste.I figure that no matter how much I try to lose weight, when my time comes, I would go without notice. Further, I think it is the same with everybody else. I mean, one could spend tons and tons of money on exercise gears and equipments, memberships to gyms, healthy and appropriate diet, and off-island medical check-ups in hope that his or her life could somehow be extended; and yet within a blink of an eye, he or she would find himself under the wheels of a seemingly disease free slim driver who lives on a diet of rice wine.I have decided that since I do not know when my time will come, I might as well enjoy each day with little or no exercise – I mean the choreographed ones. You should do the same. Just move and let the weight bounce around.I think we should all go out dancing at the nightclubs. At the very least, we would be able to keep watch of each other so that no one would be driving home drunk – or with someone else’s tipsy spouse. Further, the minors who frequent the bars would be overwhelmed by the amount weight we would be imposing.You and I have always been the same. Our combined weight could sink a lot of things. Do not worry losing weight – just move.
