Chapter 34 The Disabled Performer (2/2)

I found his advantages when he advertised; he was very neat when he was working, though he was a cynical person.

His ads were very hard to remove when they were stuck to the wire poles. The next day, the cleaners removed all my posts, but not his.

I really envied him.

Our advertisements seemed to work.

The next afternoon, a woman came in for a Yin and Yang tattoo.

Her name was “Miss Green.”

Miss Green was a fat woman, she was about 5 feet in height, wearing big-sized red sport clothes.

For ordinary people, these types of sport clothes might hang loosely.

But she just wore these clothes.

When she was in these clothes, they were stretched tightly around her, and when you looked at her from distance, she looked like a small meat hill.

When Miss Green came inside, Feng Chunshan went to receive her.

“Hey, madam, what kind of tattoo would you like?” Feng Chunsheng was very enthusiastic as a membership consultant; he was smiling warmly when he asked her.

Miss Green shook her head and said she didn’t want to have a tattoo but wanted to lose weight.

“Lose weight?” Then Feng Chunsheng went to tell me, saying he was so puzzled that he even wanted to check out the signboard to see whether it was the wrong spelling and said “Fitness Club” instead of “Tattoo Studio.”

Then Miss Green asked again: “’A Yin and Yang Tattoo, a tattoo for Yin and Yang, life and death, riches and honor, safe travels’… You could master life and death, so why can’t you manage a woman’s weight?”

Then Feng Chunsheng just realized, he rubbed his scalp and pointed to me in the sofa: “Well… turn to that man, he is the successor of the Yin and Yang tattoos.”

“All right.” Miss Green gave me a passionate introduction: “My name is Miss Green, I was previously a fitness coach and now want you to help me lose weight.”

I gave her a look and asked: “You were a fitness coach before?”

It was hard to believe, seeing a fitness coach like her. Just imagine a two hundred kilo fat man coming to ask you whether you wanted to learn from him how to lose weight when you went to the gym? Don’t you think you would want to kick his ass?

Why are you as fat as two hundred kilo if you could lose weight?

Miss Green seemed to know what I wanted to say. She lowered her head and said: “I was really a fitness coach before, and even attended a professional fitness competition; I was the champion of the woman's forty-five kilogram division.”

I asked Miss Green what her weight when she took part in the competition was.

“Forty six point five kilos,” she replied.

Then I asked again: “What about now?”

“Now, it’s about one hundred and twenty kilos,” Miss Green said in embarrassment.

I swallowed, my god… A weight of two hundred and twenty Jin, how could she make it?

She told me: “Actually, if I kept on exercising I wouldn’t be so fat, but…”

Miss Green burst into tears and told her story.

Actually, Miss Green really was fitness coach previously. She had kept her weight so well with a good figure as a fitness coach, and she was stronger, showing a more aesthetic perception than ordinary women.

But she had a poor career development since most Chinese people didn’t have the habit of doing exercises and it was not like America. As a result, there were not so many clients and she wasn’t paid very much.

Miss Green was a progressive girl. She saw some fitness coaches have great success when they focused on square dances for the elderly, then she wanted to promote fitness into each person’s heart.

So she wanted to do a big thing… Her general ideal was… firstly, she would eat too much and become very fat, then lose her weight very quickly, so that she could get more people to do the exercises by creating an inspirational image of ”an ordinary fat girl became thin through scientific fitness”. She might also become famous via that video.

However, the ideal is plump but the reality is bony.

Then Miss Green gave up fitness training; she just ate snacks and watched Korean TV shows at home.

In this way, Miss Green had successfully became a fat girl after half a year.

Now she began to record the videos on how to lose weight, but she found… it was very hard for her to lose weight. She couldn’t even make simple movements.

For example, a good leg exercise, ”skating jump”, was one where a person who made gestures of skating was jumping from side to side on the ground. This was very easy for Miss Green before, but now, when she tried it again, she accidentally broke her knee meniscus.

Now she had to go to a hospital again for treatment.

Her fitness plan had failed, and she became even fatter after staying in the hospital for more than two months. She was over one hundred kilos.

Miss Green went to the gym again to record the weight loss videos.

But this time, she was completely disheartened. She had lost the enthusiasm to do sports, and what was worse, she couldn’t give up junk food like fried chicken, crisps and coca cola. Now, it was very hard for her to give them up.

Her figure got worse and worse, and her weight increased to two hundred and twenty jin.

When she finished, she got excited, cried out, and rushed at me.

Damn… I was almost crushed to death.
