day 14/108 days left + background information continued

day 14 numbers:
94 kilos = 207 pounds

11 pounds lost total.

sad. i gained a kilo.
i wonder what i could have done wrong.
maybe too much protein? i'm not sure.

OKAY.
so after i decided not to go to the dan-shik-won my aunt talked me into going to a haniwon (한의원).
she had been talking about it for a while.
four of her friends went there and three saw permanent result.
i went there just to see what it's all about.

i went in and filled out some forms.
it asked things like,
do you have allergies?
how often do you poop?
how regular is your period?
etc.

after i turned in my forms i was weighed and had my height measured.
they put me on some other gadgets that measured my body fat percentage and muscle percentage.
they took my blood pressure and i think that was it..

i hung out for a minute after that and was later called in to the office.
the doctor laughed a worried laugh.
he said i have to do something about this now.

he went over my forms with one hand and kept the other hand on my right wrist.

i don't remember exactly everything he said and maybe some things will get lost in translation because my korean isn't perfect but some of the things he said were:

you are like a frog.
you have a short neck.
if you have a short neck you might have problems breathing.
you should not smoke. (i know)
do you have asthma? (yes)

you are like a bird.
your chest is puffed up and your is upper lip is pouty like a bird.
it is especially dangerous for you to be overweight. (why?)
because what would happen if a bird was extremely fat? (i'm not sure..)
it would die. (..oh..)

quarter of your body weight is fat and another quarter of your body weight is muscle.
you have the type of body that makes fat and muscles easily.

he had a name for it: yang-something something.
yang (양) means pair or double.

you should not exercise. (ok.. wait, WHAT?)
you should not exercise. (UH..)
if you exercise, you will get bigger and bigger.
as a woman, you already have too much muscle.
x is the amount of muscle that a woman should have and look *points at chart* you're over here.
you've made so much muscle that you're body thinks your a man. (omg)
that's why you haven't had your period for four months. (oh.my.god.)

your body type makes muscle just by eating protein.
you need to stop eating so much protein.
your body makes muscle as you make fat and vice versa.

my mom was shocked.
oh yeah, she was in the room with me.
she asked him, "she should NOT exercise?"
no. 
not now. not at this time. not with this body.
mom asked, "what about swimming?"
no.
do you want her to have man shoulders?
her body will just get bigger and bigger and bigger.
mom, "what should she do?"
