I have been struggling with my weight since my teens. I now know that my weight gain was probably due to a number of reasons, which I’m not going to bore you with today. I might tell you that story another time. Today, I want to share what FINALLY WORKED.

I love all living things. I am that crazy person who zig zags the footpath in order to avoid stepping on ants. I bend down to pick a snail trying to cross same footpath so it doesn’t get squished by the next pedestrian. You get the drift.

Well, last year, my teenage son started learning biology. I on the other hand have no idea about science; any science. My education level is very basic. Yet, I have to help my son with his schoolwork because he has difficulty reading. He has no difficulty understanding and learning, just reading. Therefore I often have to read his school material. This works well for me too, as I get the opportunity to learn something too.
