Scenario A

Patient: Hey, you see. My body weight has been reduced to 77lbs… but for my165 cm body, the shape seems too fat.

Mum: !”£$%^&*(@£$%^&

Patient: Yesterday, DAN told me he had successfully reduced his weight to 75lbs. Surely, I cannot accept it! I am not going to eat anything in the following days. Exactly, I have to do more exercise to ‘burn my fat’.
