Chapter 49: Felipe's Troubles
Felipe is 1.75 meters tall, which is not too short among Americans, but he is too overweight!
I remember when he was younger, he was only 150 pounds, and now he is good, a full 403 pounds!
There is a classic car with a fairly spacious space at home, which was left by his grandfather, and he can barely drive, but he can't sit in, and his chest hurts when he sits in the steering wheel!
It is also very difficult to go out and take the bus, and squeezing in and out often blocks the aisles. On the plane, the seat belt strangled him out of breath! It's not okay if you don't deduct it!
Ride a bike, right? The center of gravity is unstable, and the car is rattling!
Let's walk, it's very tiring, and it's always being pointed at by others!
After staying at home for a long time, the whole person is not only getting fatter and fatter, but also socially afraid.
It's been out of touch with society for so long that he can't find a job when he goes out to look for it, and no one wants him.
He really tried to go out and find it, but he was despised and didn't give him a chance.
Once, a burger restaurant was hiring a salesperson, and the owner saw that he was still honest, so he stayed. Because it's a restaurant, it's a lunch.
As a result, Felipe ate twenty burgers and seven large cups of Coke in one meal, and the boss didn't say anything, but the proprietress let him go in the afternoon!
Felipe: "......" Actually, he hadn't eaten enough for that meal.
The mean proprietress scolded him for being a pig and gave him a nickname, the ugly Big Peppa! When Felipe returned, he locked himself in a dark room and choked up and cried for a long time.
The old mother, Taylor, glanced at her obese son who was lying on the bed playing games, sighed heavily, and then went out with a big black bag, she was going to pick up the garbage.
Originally, with her pension, she could live well if she was alone, and she didn't have to be old, gray-haired, and she had to pick up garbage, but now she doesn't want to raise a son? Moreover, if she dies one day, her son will be miserable, so she has to save more money.
In fact, picking up garbage in the United States is quite profitable, but not many people are willing to do it.
Taylor wandered the streets and parks for about an hour, rummaging through many trash cans and picking up dozens of drink bottles, feeling a little tired, and sat down on a bench on the side of the road in Bernal Heights Park.
Shaded by trees, blown by the mountain breeze, the weather is still quite good, and the Bernal Heights Park is built on the mountain, in fact, the main part is a small hill about 100 meters high.
She thought that if Felipe came out every day to exercise and climb the mountain, it would be great if she could lose weight!
The idea was wonderful, but she also knew that it was unlikely! Because, a big fat man like a mountain of more than 400 pounds, who loses weight by exercising every day? It's so hard!
Take a few steps and be out of breath.
Diet? If you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry!
Shut your mouth and open your legs, everyone knows, but it's easier said than done, otherwise there wouldn't be so many fat people!
She also took her son to try other ways to lose weight, such as dieting, eating only a few lettuce leaves and a few eggs a day, but it quickly fell short and rebounded.
I also used to get a fitness card, and I did iron, but I quickly failed, and I sprained my knee! It took a long time to heal the disease!
I also bought meal replacements, failed, rebounded.
Losing weight really isn't that easy to lose!
Two ladies led their dogs, met on a mountain road, and soon chatted together.
One lady exclaimed in surprise, "Bessie, you've really lost so much weight!" Everyone is doing the same exercise and walking the same dog every day, why can you lose so much weight while I gain weight? ”
The man named Betsy said, "Don't you know? I went to the iris clinic to find the Chinese Dr. Zhou and prescribed a few medicinal diets, and the weight loss worked very well! ”
"Really? Why haven't I heard from you? The woman from earlier, named Teresa, screamed.
Betsy said, "Didn't you?" ”
Delissa said: "Not really! ”
Betsy smiled and said, "Maybe I forgot." Well, I think I mentioned it to you at the beginning! However, that clinic has been really famous recently, especially in the area of weight loss, and it is said that many people have come to him for consultation. ”
Delissa nodded heavily and said, "Then I'll definitely give it a try." ”
Betsy: "Well, it's a mysterious medicine from the ancient East, and it has a very magical effect. ”
……
The two ladies led the dog away, but Taylor, who listened to their conversation, was in a stirring mood and couldn't calm down for a long time!
"If Felipe also gives it a try and lets the Chinese doctor take a look, maybe he can lose weight? How wonderful that would be! Taylor began to look forward to it, and suddenly seemed to see his son lose more than half of his weight, and return to the sturdy young man he used to be.
Of course, she also knows that it may not necessarily be successful. Maybe it's another failed attempt, but how do you know the result if you don't try?
Just like the lady who led the dog just now, she really succeeded! Perhaps, that Chinese doctor really has a way?
So, Taylor stopped picking up the garbage, and she had to go back to persuade her son to go to the iris clinic. She had seen that clinic when she was picking up garbage, and it seemed to be on Powell Street, so she would find out when the time came.
……
To put it mildly, Taylor finally persuaded his son, and the two walked slowly to the iris clinic one after the other. No way, there is no transport suitable for Felipe.
Felipe was sweating profusely and out of breath, but fortunately, he finally arrived at the clinic, which was just over a thousand meters away from his home.
"Good morning, you two, is there anything you can help with?" When Ava saw the two, she hurriedly went up to greet them warmly.
Felipe was a little socially afraid, and when he saw such a beautiful little girl, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and his old face turned red all of a sudden.
Taylor couldn't help but look at his son with increasing concern. The heart said, it would be nice if such a beautiful little girl married my son! But obviously, that's not possible! No way!
Taylor also knew that it was impossible, she was bringing her son to see the doctor, so she said to Ava, "Nurse, we don't have an appointment because I didn't know the phone number here." Are you available to see a doctor right now? ”
"Well, he's treating a patient right now, why don't you wait?"
"Okay. Thank you. ”
Ava took them to the waiting area, smiled, motioned for them to sit down, and asked them what they were drinking: "Coffee or black tea?" ”
Taylor said, "Just give us two glasses of pure water." Thank you. ”
Actually, Felipe wanted to drink coffee, but was stopped by Taylor's eyes! You're all so fat, what kind of coffee do you drink? Eligible for coffee?
Felipe: "......"
"Wait a minute, both of you."
Soon, Ava brought two glasses of pure water, and then also brought the registration form for the patient to fill out some information.
