It's so pathetic seeing my present condition being increased day by day. I tried to trim my size down, but the more I tried to stop eating, the more fat I got.
I have heard that when you minimize your eating tactics, you will be reduced a bit. I don't know if this was a good idea, I tried to reduce my eating habits, but the more I tried the more the habit continued.

Last week, I denied myself food for just one day and I promised to continue this trend. My wife prepared food for me, and I rejected it saying "I want to keep fit". Keeping fit was just because of how people have been laughing at me. I told my wife I'm not going to eat for four days. She begged me to eat but I rejected her begging. "I love you the way you are", my wife said to me, but I was ready to put an end to the embarrassment I had passed through.
Just yesterday, my wife prepared my favorite dish. When she was cooking, I told her she should not add my portion to it, which she agreed to. I never knew she would be preparing my favorite. I was in her shop trying to help her with her market when I slept off. I slept just like someone who had not eaten for a week. Although, the sleep was just as if I was counting the rats that passed through the ceiling. Goat entered the shop and poured beans on the floor. This was when I woke up. I was angry, but could not do anything as a result of the hunger.
Meanwhile, my wife was done cooking and she decided to serve the food to the shop. The aroma alone was mind-blowing. I was trying to resist the food, but one mind was telling me to go ahead to eat. Again, I inhaled the aroma and this time the hunger increased to its peak. I could not hold it and instead went straight to my wife and without wasting any time, I dipped my hands inside the food and started eating. I cannot kill myself by myself. At least, it is not my fault to be fat.

As if this was enough, I took my students out for an excursion one fateful day. After viewing what we went there for, the students decided to enjoy themselves and said they would love to play a bit before going home. I accepted and allowed them to play. As children, they all drift to the hanging seat on the playground. These students had to pay for whatever they wanted to use in the playground. Meanwhile, this boy is just twice my size and wanted to sit on the hanging seat after paying for it. Immediately, the owner yelled from afar "You will cut the rope, hey… don't bother to sit on it, you will cut the rope". This boy became discouraged.
He changed his mind again to seesaw. The owner again jumped out and said "Do you want to bend the iron?"
The boy could not enjoy the money he had paid.
