The good husband had made a pledge recently that he is going to lose that excess flab no matter what. Hurmm, seems like a tall order considering that he is what you call it, a lazy bum (in the health department).
All because of a back pain that has been rendering him lembikless every time he reaches home from work everyday. He had to be massaged with ointment on the back frequently otherwise he would not be able to sleep well at night. The orthopaedic surgeon who had examined him earlier told him to lose some weight and if that doesn't work out nicely then another extreme measure to remedy his back problem (as a last resort) would be surgery.
According to his doctor he has to lose at least 10 kgs as the extra weight could be one of the cause for him to suffer back pain. His legs could not withstand the extra weight therefore causing him to experience on-off back pain especially if he sits or lie down too long in the same position.
Each time the pain gets so unbearable, he would see chiropractor immediately but its only a quick fix coz the pain would recur if he doesn't observe the pantang-larang given. Now that he has been given the ultimatum, he has taken the advice by cutting down portions of his meals, taking the LRT to and from work for the past couple of weeks (let see how long he can do this knowing how crazy LRT schedules can be), doing push-ups and some physiotherapy exercise in his spare time. He's even contemplating to engage a personal trainer at the gym nearby his workplace. Wow, I have to take a bow to that man for his tenacity to lose weight.
Yeah, it takes only one word to make my macho man scaredy-cat. Surgery with a capital S.
