LIFE EDUCATION SERIES 1: Person With Disability

CHAPTER ONE: Physical Complications Resulting to Morbid Obesity

It's truly hard to fathom that I have multiple diseases based on my current lifestyle, added stresses and pressures, as well as life's so many different curve balls that the mother earth throws at me. But yes, here we are. I am a living proof of that, aside of course, from the one and only Queen Of All Media, Kris Aquino.

Like her, I too have different physical, mental and even spiritual diseases within just twenty-eight years of my whole existence. Oh well, that's life!

By the way, my name's Alejandro Louis Del Rey. You may know me hiding behind that name but again, if you have not heard, my real name is Shimron E. Suarez. I am from Cebu and I now own, founded and created GlamShock Studios and it's departments.

I have been living a life of comfort for those past years. Not because I chose to but I was forced to. That's because, since I was young, my parents were truly very harsh on me and fed me with words of discouragement, limitations and added fears or phobias.

When I was an infant, when they traveled somewhere else, I was left here in Cebu, with my cousins who are now out of this country. And within their duration of stay here, everytime I cried, they always fed me with a bottle of milk. Everytime I got fussy, instead of addressing other issues, they continuously fed me with more milk (a bit expensive of a brand, during that time).

Then as I grew older, I was fed with so many vitamins, left and right and so it gave me a full boost in my appetite but not making my metabolism fast enough. Eventually, I did not feel the need to run or exercise because I was still young.

So as I arrived on the age of five, I started being fatter than what my usual age requires. And as I grew older and older, the more I increased my weight. I tried several diets but I do not have the courage to because I am the only child and every scolding, every anger and every heartbreak of my parents, they vent it all out on me, which led to me feeling pressured, stressed and scared to go out of the house.

That situation in turn made me morbidly obese. Even if I tried having several diets, I cannot push through because of my undisciplined self. I really do not know how to discipline myself when it comes to food and eating habits. Food really became my comfort ever since then and that is one of the reasons why this is currently happening to me.

Truly, being morbidly obese is not a joke. It gives you more complications and more diseases and it makes you feel more lonely, depressed and suic*dal. So I advise you, parents, as early as one year old, teach your children to go outside and explore the world. Let them run around the park and be dirty. That's what normal children do.

Never push your kids to be like me because this is unhealthy. I wrote this book and experienced this so you and your children would not have to. Just please! Please listen to my advises.

1. Do not let your children eat too much.

2. Install into their minds, the artsy ways to be very disciplined.

3. Do not induce fear and pain into your children if not necessary. This will lead to serious fear issues when they grow up.

3. Let them do as much exercise as possible so they'd have better lives than me, your author.

4. Keep going on despite all the curve balls you have experienced. Don't easily back down.

And more life lessons will be learned in the next chapters of this book entitled, "LIFE LESSON SERIES 1: Person with Disability" by Alejandro Louis Del Rey. But for now, paalam!
