Check yourself




When I arrived at the doctor's office, last Friday, and saw him for the first time his looks surprised me. He was a black very tall man with a white afro, small faced,  short neck and long legs and arms which gave him the appearance of a friendly mantis. He was wearing black thick glasses and had a passive but at the same time wise gaze.

At that time I was a little nervous about his questions. I really wanted to find a proper and effective answer to my backache after months without finding a solution and I didn't want to waste any more time in medical examinations.

Fortunately, after checking my file and radiographies the doctor seems to have a response to my suffering. -"You are too fat," he told me. -"You need to lose weight ASAP" eight kilos (17,6 lb.). That was it. It seems you have an elastic body and bodies with that characteristic always suffer when overweight. So he ordered me 10 chiropractic sessions besides swimming and of course a strict diet.

Now I know I have to eat healthy, breath deeply and practice swimming sports in order to relieve this annoying pain. So, I started today with a small vegan pizza and orange juice for lunch, while at night I bought a couple of water bottles. Unfortunately, my girlfriend came by and make me, literally, made me buy a chicken sandwich and a pack of cookies making this new resolution harder than I thought.
