”Oh my God! Mom yelled when she saw empty dish that had mutton chomps just half an hour ago. Fatty (real name Emma) a 12 years old “Foodaholic” had eaten all the meal that was meant for dinner for the family of four.

  Mom was really upset because of fatty’s over eating habit, she eat everything she came across – be it cookies,snacks or whatever.

  The scenario was no different at her school. Where all her teachers and classmates were worried because fatty would snatch her classmates lunch and their parents blamed the teacher for not controlling fatty’s bad habit.

  “There’s nothing left for dinner, we’ll have to order something from a restaurant,”. Fatty’s mom told her husband who had just arrived from the office.

 ”OK. So, should I order pizzas for dinner?” He asked and as Fatty had over heard this, she hurriedly rushed their and said, “Dad, two for me please…” Her mom, Dad and sister were shocked to hear this because she had already eaten the dinner for four people alone and she still had the capacity to eat two pizzas.

 ”How can you eat that much, Fatty! Look at your tummy, You have put on alot of weight and I’m really worried about your health,” mom scolded her but Fatty was not affected by her words.

 Any how, Fatty’s dad ordered five pizzas, one for each person and two for Fatty. Within ten minutes of arrival of the pizzas, Fatty finished her share! 

 Time was passing smoothly and Fatty carried on with her eating routine until a day arrived when summer vacation began. 

 ”Listen fatty, your cousin Sara will be coming from California tomorrow. Your Uncle will drop her here as he has to go out of the city for a business meeting and Sara will spend a few weeks with us so my dear, behave yourself at least in front of her,” Mom informed fatty who was busy munching potato chips.

 ”Okay Mom, don’t worry, I’ll take care of her and we will have lots of fun,” Fatty replied by opening another packet of chips. 

 The next morning Sara, who was of fatty’s age, arrived and what Fatty saw made her self-conscious.

 Her cousin was a good looking and smart girl. She was fit and fabulous and the secret of her smartness was her healthy and balanced diet.

 Fatty felt jealous of her and said in sarcastic tone, “Hey Sara, I guess you don’t get anything to eat, hehehe…!! “ 

 ”I do, but I eat to live, not live to eat!” Sara replied instantly, leaving Fatty feeling embarrassed.

 Sara lived with them for a month and during this period fatty not only observed her eating routine but also try to follow it.

 Sara was a disciplined child who, even during the holidays got up early in the morning, did some light exercises. Breakfast was a must for her. She, instead of indulging in junk food like potato chips, burger, pizzas e.t.c preferred a balance and healthy diet that included vegetables, fruits , milk and meat, in reasonable quantities.

 As Fatty try to follow Sara, lifestyle, She felt some very positive changes on her body. Now she found that she had more energy and was not lazy as she often felt after a greasy and large meal, became to feel good about herself as she had cut a reasonable amount of calories from her diet which was making her overweight.

 Fatty’s parents too noticed the change in his behaviour and they were happy about it. The day before Sara had to leave, Fatty’s said that decided to order for dinner something special for the entire family. Everyone told their preferences and when that turn to fatty for her choice, the answer was a surprise.

 Fatty said, “Anything that is nutritious and light as I eat to live, not live to eat!”

 Everyone smiled, as now Fatty was no more a ‘Fatty’ rather a disciplined and healthy eater!
