Emily a young woman who graduated top of her class while at the university of Ibadan decided to take a decision on dieting regarding her present diagnosis on diabetes. Diabetes to her was not the most terrible condition in the world. But a disease that has to do with minimizing and curtailing the intake of food she normally wouldn't be able to take a day off was really terrible.
She began to think about about her present health status and her extinct love for food. She asked herself,
How would I survive without the intake of these really pleasant food?
Another part of her answered,
Yea off course you can survive, you just need to take deliberate act of
Cutting down the intake of these food substances
The other really aggressive voice screamed at her;
What the hell are you saying, I bet, you can't go a day without taking in this,
You may just as well die.
Emily struggled between these domineering voices in her mind. She stopped performing actively in her day to day activities. Depression wrung about her like a diamond necklace. Her relationships struggled and took to drowning.
As the months passed and her days became more gloomy and dark due to loss of hope and motivation from within. The voices increased in her mind arising abrupt headaches and fever. Emily who seemed like she controlled the very essence of her existence may have forgotten the immense strength of her mind. Coworkers saw her gradually drown away in the pit of sorrow for no one had the courage to approach her because of her scare crow attitude.
One day Emily decided to read a book titled ''The power of the mind'' she had decided to scroll through the book without the intention of willfully gaining from it. She addressed the book as one of the bulky, thirsty and hungry writers who hurriedly decided to get a book published. She then opened the book and began to feed on it to criticize. But as she continued she saw two writes up that May have changed the entirety of her present state.
''It would come a time when you have to choose between what is easy and what is
Right''
'In each of us lies evil and good. The one which one chooses directs the course of his
Life'
After Emily read this, she began to feel terrible for her inability to control and make right
choices In the times of challenges.
Emily read the first write up over and over again. It may have lost its power on her
but she decided to enforce it. She got up went into the fridge and disposed of the food stuffs which
went contrary to what the doctors food list contained. Her love for chocolates became gradually reduced. From that moment she also started her daily exercise. All this made her in control of herself. She also apologized to those she may have hurt in her time of challenge.
