weight lost

i'm still remember losing 1kg/day. for 2 weeks i had an assignment offshore
in oil rig platform, 2 days after onboard i felt very thirsty and the irony
of it is i kept on drinking plain water because the thirst was never
fulfilled. i drank every an hour and yet every 500ml taken, i never felt
enough. and every hour also i was urged to urinate. my bladder was so full
that sometimes it was very painful. night sleep became night walker. i'd
taken several bottles of mineral water to my room so not to go down to the
galley every time after urinated. the galley is open 24 hours.

the beauty of it is i'd lost 1kg/day. without doing much exercise. in the
beginning i felt good about it because my bmi (body mass index) was drop
drastically. when onboard, my bmi was 32 that was so closed to 35. if it
gone to 35, then there would be no more chance to work offshore. then 1 day
i'd noticed that my urine smelt. smells that remind me to freshly baked
cake. ohh.. so sweet! then i remember, aha.. this is the smell of ketones.
it startles me. gosh.. did i having a diabetes? i denied myself. it
couldn't be. none in my family having it. my diet is 'normal'. just like
eveybody's eating habit.

when onboard 1 was 89.7kg. but on the day last to board the chopper home,
the weigher machine shown 77kg. wow!! it was great to lose almost
13kg/hitch in 2 weeks. almost 1kg/day and almost not much exercises. the
bad thing was i was hospitalized 1 week after that. i was diagnosed with
diabetes mellitus. that was it. gone all the good feelings of losing rapid
kg/day.

what happened is when the glucose in the blood could not be changed to
energy, the body will break fats in the body and change them to energy.
that is why you lose weight drastically. the bad thing is, when your fats
were depleted, then the body will start breaking proteins. you know what
proteins contribute in your body.. proteins is the most essential elements
in all nerve systems! could you imagine at this stage how do we look like
and what could happened to us.

the glucose in the blood will keep on increasing. accumulatively. this is
giving our kidney an extra work. very straineous job. one day it will fail
and here comes another gang of the diabetes. other than that it will effect
our prostat glands as well. it will shrink it. and we will suffer a
difficulties to urinate. hmmm.. another one inhibits our already suffering
system. it is not over yet. they will invite their good friend to deal with
our heart. the machine that keep us running and alive.

that is how our body reacts to one failure to another. it will goes slowly
but definitely. yeah.. they are a slow walker but they never walk back.
unless you put a stopper!

'if you want to lose drastic weight .., well it's you to decide." but do it
healthtily.
