Weight gain was not his problem

This story is about a boy who was obsessed with his weight gain. He started hating himself. He did not liked the way he looks. He used to go to his fitness center to lose weight. But nothing was happening. He was not able to lose those extra pounds. Because of all this, everything in his life was getting weird. He was not able to concentrate on his studies. He became a frustrated boy. Whenever he saw the girl he loved and for whom he was losing weight, he hated himself even more.

One day in the park after jogging, he sat on a bench with an old man. That old man sensed from the face of boy that something was wrong. Old man asked him, “What happen? Are you alright?”. The frustrated boy said, “Nothing is alright. My life is so weird.” Then old man said, “Tell me what happen.”. The boy told him his story and how avalanche of problems ruined his life. Then that sensible old man said, “Your problem is not weight gain. The problem is you don’t believe that you will lose weight. You need to keep the faith. Tell yourself, you can lose weight like everyone else. You don’t have faith in yourself that’s why you started hating yourself. Have as much faith as you have when after paying the bill you know you will get the products you bought.”

The boy understood his problem. But he didn’t knew how to keep the faith. He started believing that he will lose his weight. But negative thoughts again rule his mind. He went to that sensible old man again and asked him that he don’t know how to keep the faith when he can’t see anything positive. Old man replied, “It’s easy. When you wake up in the morning tell yourself that you love the way you look. Appreciate every pound of your weight. Keep telling yourself whenever you are idle that you are losing weight. Go and shop for the clothes you want to see yourself in after losing weight. Whenever a negative thought comes to your mind, close your eyes and imagine yourself as you have already lost your desired weight. Imagine the happiness on your face. Imagine everyone is praising about your effort. Write again and again on your notebook that you are losing your weight. All these things will make you feel that your weight loss is obvious. And you will develop the faith that will work wonders for you.”

The boy did whatever he was told to do. He wrote reminders which kept telling him that he can lose weight and that he is loves himself. He wrote in the notebook again and again that he is in perfect shape. He bought the clothes, he wanted to see himself in. He created his future before time. He created in himself a believe that his weight loss is definite. Due to all this he developed a positive mentality and never ending faith. By intuition he got new ideas that he consumed to speed up his improvements. At first it took time for him to achieve that kind of faith. But he achieved it. The boy anxious to see results started seeing them. He was losing weight. And that day came when he looked the way he wanted to look.
