**Body Constitution Analysis**

I feel thirsty and drink water every night before bed, and my body feels swollen when I wake up; my feet swell up in the afternoon and my shoes feel too small; my skin is loose and lacks elasticity, and I look listless; my calves are thick and soft, feeling like water bags; I don't like exercising; I love eating snacks like potato chips.

These symptoms are typical of edema-related obesity.

However, compared to other types of obesity, this type is easier to lose weight successfully!

Edema-type obesity is mainly caused by abnormal water metabolism in the body. An imbalance in the water-sodium ratio leads to the inability to excrete water normally, resulting in generalized edema.

In daily life, this type of obesity requires giving up snacks like potato chips, reducing salt intake, adjusting diet, eating more foods that reduce water retention, and coordinating with exercise to achieve rapid weight loss!

**Slimming Principles**

Job's tears are sweet and slightly cold in nature, and have the effects of promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, strengthening the spleen and removing dampness.

Red beans are neutral in nature, sweet and sour, and have the effects of strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. They are especially suitable for edema-type obesity.

Soybeans are rich in plant protein, plant fat, amino acids, and fiber, which can not only promote gastrointestinal motility and make you feel full, but also quickly replenish the nutrients your body needs.

The above three combinations are not only good for reducing swelling, but also have very good effects on simple edema-related obesity, postpartum edema, and constipation-related obesity.

**Weight Loss Story**

Lu Ke was a year ahead of me in college. When I first entered university, I was attracted by his handsome appearance. After making inquiries, I learned that he was very humorous, that many girls in the school liked him, and that he was academically excellent, winning the first-class scholarship every year! With the help of my friends, I created many opportunities to meet and spend time alone with him, and finally caught his attention. I was able to hold hands with him and stroll around campus as I had wished.

The year he graduated, he went to study in the United States with excellent grades. Before leaving, he told me to study hard and that he would wait for me to come a year later.

However, without him, the campus felt empty, and emptiness and boredom constantly surrounded me; without his supervision, I became so lazy and listless all day long; every day was the same routine of going to class, eating snacks, and sleeping, and my life became a mess! We kept in touch by phone and online, and whenever he asked about my situation, a deep sense of guilt would well up in my heart!

Time flies by, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Snacking and sleeping every day caused me to go from a girl who could eat without gaining weight to a chubby girl with water retention in just six months. My legs often swelled up badly in the afternoon, and the worst part was that my weight increased by 10 kg.

Thinking of how wonderful he was, and the beautiful, lovely, and capable girls around him... my heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions, a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors!

During an online chat, we turned on video. The first thing he did when he saw me was exclaim, "Oh my god! You've gained weight!" Perhaps he didn't mean anything by it, but it hurt me for a long time.

Later on, he kept calling me "Little Pig, Little Pig," and sometimes he would jokingly say, "If you grow any longer, I won't be able to carry you anymore!" I always didn't care, but if you say something a hundred times, it becomes the truth. Pig, pig, pig, I even dreamed that I turned into a pig and he dumped me without any mercy!

My growing inferiority complex led to increasing suspicion and even caused me to develop delusions.

The worst part is that I fantasize that he will find someone else because I've become a "water bottle," which is exactly like my dream.

His phone calls and letters became less and less frequent, and coupled with the "rumors" I sometimes heard from female seniors about his close relationship with a certain girl, I became more and more certain that he had really changed his mind...

I've argued with him and struggled with the decision. I don't want to lose the one I love because I'm "fat".

My sisters encouraged me to lose weight and supported me in taking action to win back my first love! Every day at 6 o'clock, I would be dragged out of bed by those enthusiastic sisters to run. They would also take all my snacks. I would only eat porridge and vegetables for three meals a day, and I would insist on doing aerobics for an hour before bed.

However, even after persisting for six months, I only lost 5kg, and there was even a rebound trend.

Our conflicts are getting more and more intense. I said he had changed his mind, and he blamed me for not being considerate. Every time we talk on the phone, we end up arguing after less than two minutes.

Just when I was feeling disheartened and ready to give up, he told me he would be returning to China in 10 days.

Looking at my body, which resembled a water bag, in the mirror, I decided to ask my nutrition teacher for help! Based on my specific situation, the teacher tailored a slimming porridge for me. I ate it as a staple food for all three meals a day and persisted with exercises to reduce water retention. After a week, I miraculously lost 10 pounds.

On the day he returned home, when he saw me at the airport, I saw his surprised look again...

When he learned that I had gone to great lengths to lose weight for him, he was both amused and exasperated! He told me, "I haven't changed my mind. Love should be based on trust, not wild guesses. I came back to China this time just to put your mind at ease! But I'm also very touched that you lost weight for me!"
