Obesity

Obesity
I started gaining weight when I started working.
Almost every day after work, I drank with my co-workers or ordered take-out food for a late-night snack. I was also too busy with work to do any exercise. Within eight months after starting work, I started to notice that my clothes were getting tighter and tighter.
At first, I thought maybe my clothes shrunk in the dryer. Reality finally hit me when one day I saw myself in a full-length mirror at the gym. I realized that I had gained a lot of weight. I decided to get a trainer to help me get in shape before I gained any more weight and get obese.

비만
직장을 다니기 시작하면서 살이 찌기 시작했다. 퇴근 후 거의 매일 동료들과 회식을 하거나 야식으로 배달 음식을 시켜 먹었다. 일이 너무 바빠 운동은 엄두도 내지 못했다. 취업 후 8개월안에 옷이 점점 더 타이트 해지는 걸 느꼈다. 처음에는 옷이 건조기에서 줄었겠 거니 생각했었다. 마침 헬스장에 있는 전신거울에 비친 내 모습을 보는 순간 현타가 왔다. 몸무게가 엄청 는 걸 깨달았다. 더 살찌고 비만이 되기전에 몸매를 유지할 수 있도록 트레이너에게 훈련을 받기로 결심했다.
