Weight Loss Strategy

I am proud of the strategy I followed

I’m not sure if I have shared

this critical saga from my life.

I was sick back then,

PCOS and prediabetic

the doctor advised medications,

I hated it and asked,

for milder alternative,

and he asked to lose weight,

and I preferred this option.

The apartment gym was scented,

and the air was stale.

I knew in my intuition—

that wasn’t going to help.

So, as always,

I summoned my wisdom,

consulted my conscience,

and decided on a healthier strategy.

I started daily bicycle riding

in the leafy neighborhood,

with my camera,

slung over my shoulder.

It was a win-win, for sure.

I enjoyed creativity,

documenting flora and fauna,

capturing memories—

all while inhaling fresh air.

Weight loss followed naturally,

and my health returned.

I advise you:

don’t blindly follow doctors,

Don’t depend solely on pills.

Instead, find something

that truly heals in the long term—

something that will calm,

your agitated immune system.
