As a last desperate act of battling the weight gain, I finally gave in and register my self to an acupuncture program last week. Tee hee.

I got the name of the clinic from my friend and with a swollen pride I went there to confess that I have problem in controlling my appetite. The doctor was very nice. All his explanation seemed to make sense and I felt comfortable right away. So I decided to be brave and adventurous to start the program right there right then.

First, I was asked to lay down with my face up in a small bunk bed. And then the doctor made several injection of electrolytes into body parts where the fat build up most. And then after that he sticked a lot of needle in the body parts which had been injected and one behind my ear. They said it is to help reduce the appetite (oh how I wish the needle could stay there forever!). And then the nurse came in and placed cables into the needles. I felt a little tingling sensation as the electricity current went through the needles to the body and I strangely felt very relax. So I started to look around.

In a several bed next to mine, there was an old lady with needles and cables all over her face. It made her look like Davy Jones! Yikes! I think it has something to do with reducing wrinkle or releasing tension. But it sure looks weird having needles sticking out her face like that.

In another bed, a young lady laid down only in bra and panties and have needles almost all over her body looking like an electrocuted slim hedgehodge. I starred at her for quite a while for she has a great body already. Very slim and fat free. Her skin was creamy and smooth so I was wondering what was her problem? But then again, probably she did not look that way when she first came. It was very heartening.

From another bed, another lady woke up and starting putting her clothes on when the nurse hurriedly came and remind her that the doctor had not perform the vitamin c (or botox? I could not hear quite clearly through the humming sound of the machine) injection on her face. She then laid down again until the doctor came and injected her face in several areas. Hmm…

Then I looked down at my belly which was covered with needles and cables and suddenly realized that this place is really like chamber of torture! Why do we, women, made our selves go through this? What happened with healthy diet and exercise regularly?

In my case, I want instant result. I am bored with my useless yo yo diet due to lack of self discipline. By paying certain amount, I hope it could motivate me to be more discipline. No fried food, no deep fried coconut food, eat as little carbohydrates as possible, eat fruit more and exercise exercise exercise. I hope I could reduce the fat and tone more muscle.

The program is suppose to be to set me in the good eating habit. Egg and bread in the morning. Meat/poultry product/fish, vegetables and little carbohydrates at noon. Meat/poultry/fish & vegetables only in the afternoon before 5. Nothing is allowed in between other than fruit.

Once the program is finished, it is hoped that I can continue the balance diet thus maintain my reduced weight. A week has passed since I visit the chamber of torture and I have lost 3 Kg. I feel lighter and my clothes seemed to fit me properly now. Yay!

Pray for me, will you?
