I Want to Lose Weight
I’m a fat girl, I know. Maybe someone would say that I’m just plump, but I know it is just comfort saying. I’m fat, I know. Although my parents, my friends and even my teachers all said, “You’re lovely, Mabel. Don’t say that you’re fat, you look cute.” I know they just cheat me, how can a fat girl be said cute and lovely in today’s society? It must be a very funny thing if some slim girls know that I am considered as cute and lovely. Everyone knows that in today’s society, slim people are considered as beautiful. So, although many people told me that I’m cute, I have to lose my weight. I’m a girl, I want to be beautiful. I want to lose my weight.
As we all know that advertisements are full of our lives. Everyday we can hear that some people complain the advertisements and the manufacturers. But I can find out much useful information from the advertisements, and I can see hope from them. There are many advertisements about to lose your weight, and almost every day, there will come out a new product. They made me feel lucky to have been given birth in this period. So everyday, I just sit before the TV set to find out which product is more helpful, and which is cheaper than the others. When others discuss the TV programs and dramas they have seen last night, I just immerse in my advertisements’ world, and dream that I will one day become a member of those slim person, and everyone would say, “You look much more beautiful! Mabel, it’s amazing! You look cute when you were plump, and you look beautiful when you become slim! Oh, I want to be as charm as you.”
It is easy to get information, but it is hard to buy something without money. But the reality is that, I am poor. My parents would never give me money to buy those pills which help me to lose my weight. So, although I can buy everything I need, I can’t buy any pills to lose my weight.
Well, as they don’t give me money, I just try to lose my weight in some way that needn’t money. Right, I changed my diet. For almost a month, I only ate apples everyday. It seemed that this idea was both economical and easy. But the result was not very good. Two weeks after I changed my diet, some one told me that I seemed a little bit thinner then before, I felt very happy, so I insisted on the “eat apples only” method. But at one day at the end of that month, I fainted on the P.E. class. My faintness frightened our P.E. teacher, after that, he never let me to run, jump and do exercises with my classmates, although the doctors told him that because I didn’t eat my meals and which made my nourishment very bad, so he needn’t be so nervous.
After that failure, I summed up the lessons in order to avoid them in the next plan of lose my weight. And I know that, “eat apples only” could not lose my weight, it just made me look like a pale bag. So I decided to work to earn some money to buy those products on the advertisements.
I was lucky to find a job in a restaurant. It was physical labor of course. Every day after school, I have to ran to the restaurant and put on the dirty work clothes and then, to clean the floor, and desks and to serve the guests. I felt tired every day those days. It was not easy. But I have earned a lot of money.

 

But to my surprise, only some months later, many people told me that I looked thinner then ever before. I didn’t believe them, I thought that they just don’t want me to lose weight; they don’t want me to be beautiful.
One day, I found an advertisement on TV, the product was the best and the cheapest that I had ever known. I planned a long time, and found that if I work for another two months, I’ll have enough money to buy it. So I worked even harder.
Another day, one of my old friends who I hadn’t seen for a long time came to visit me. She is the only one I trust, so when she first saw me and said, “You look thinner than ever before. But I don’t like, because you lost your lovely-looking. Now, you look more like a monkey to me.” I was shocked heavily by her words. I looked into the mirror and saw another person in it, I didn’t know her, but it seemed that the person in the mirror was actually I. the person looked slim, her face fell into skill. In other words, she looked just like what my friend said a monkey.
I felt despair, I didn’t know what to do. Am I really suiting the slim body? But I didn’t want to resign to this result. I spent all my money on buying the product which I had seen on TV. And I took all the pills in one month. I didn’t care about anything, just let me be thin, if I couldn’t went back, just let me go forward.
One month later, everyone said, “You look much better than a month ago, you look cute again. Never say you want to lose your weight again. We like the looking you are now.” And in the mirror, I saw that the fat girl who had been considered cute came back, it was me, I became fat again, but this time, I felt that I look cute when I am fat. Thanks to those pills which I thought would lose my weight. They gave me back. And of course, I’d never lose my weight again.
