If You Want To Lose Weight, Then Stop Eating And Start Moving

It was the first time you've wanted to puke in a while. You did not feel good at all. Your limbs looked like they had been blown up like a balloon and your proportions were not normal. To sum it up: you had eaten too many dango's.

The sweet treat was something that was quite easy to make - and so, when you saw the ingredients on sale, you of course had to buy fifty of each ingredient. You, [last name] [name] is a sustainable and not-wasteful woman... at least you try to be.

This is how you ended up in your immovable position. Simply, you did not want to put your dango's to waste and ate them all. Being the selfish person you were, there was no need to share. But that came to bite you in the ass.

There was no way you could go outside... in your normal kimono. It was too recognisable. You needed a change in colour palette. And so, here you were in front of Otae's household in another kimono covering your body with a large umbrella. You had hoped to not gain any attention on your way here, but the loud stomps of your feet made people automatically look your way.

"Otae-chan... please open up!"

In a moment's notice, Otae opened the door to the Kodokan Dojo; which she lived in. "Oh? [name]-chan? You've changed so much!"

"...You can say the same for yourself," the brown-haired woman looked like she also gained a few kilograms. Not that it was bad, but her words were hypocritical. "Can we please talk?"

。。。

A few minutes after you had arrived, you noticed a certain vermillion-haired girl sitting beside you. "Say, Kagura... You're here for diet tips too?"

"Yes! I want to learn how to lose weight easily. I thought Anego would have an idea since she's so smart."

"Now, now. Let's calm down ladies," Otae then lifted up a small box of ice-cream. "Leave it up to me. I recommend this diet. The Baagan-Dash Diet. Regular diets are hard because you have to watch what you eat and exercise, right? But with this, you can lose weight easily while still eating. All you do is eat ice-cream before every meal. Doing so, develops a membrane over your stomach and inhibit the absorption of the food that follows. Isn't it amazing?"

You furrowed your eyebrows, "I'm no dietitian, but I'm sure the human body does not work like that when you eat ice-cream."

"It is amazing!" Kagura gushed.

"That's when I learned there is no easy way to lose weight. And people who come up with lazy ideas like that actually end up gaining weight."

"Is she for real?!"

"Looks like it's all over for you guys," a voice was heard form in the ceiling. "With a body like that, your lover won't be able to carry you like a princess." A small part of the ceiling was then removed to reveal Sachan's face. "I'm sure even Gin-san's arm would fall off. But don't worry, I'll be the one to make Gin-san happy..." The wooden tiles being the ceiling began to break into pieces; she then dropped through and landed on the table in front of you. She too, had also gained weight.

"Hey, don't break my house now."

At that point, we all realised... that what we should be fighting is ourselves.

Within a few days, the four of you decided to attend dieting classes... and so, there you all were; standing in front of a fasting dojo with your belongings on your back. After receiving a classic white karate-style uniform, you all walked into the dojo.

"I heard you can lose a ton of weight."

"Did you lose weight?"

"Okay then, we should work hard."
