They say love makes you do foolish things. I didn’t know they meant full-blown nonsense until I met Sandra.

 

She was beautiful, smart, and worst of all… she liked fit guys.

 

Me? I was shaped like an apology.

 

But I was determined. I told myself, “Today, we enter gym!”

 

First day, I walked in like a boss. No warm-up, no stretching. Just pride and overconfidence. I jumped straight to the bench press.

 

Biggest mistake of my life.

 

The weight fell on my chest and my soul almost left my body. I screamed, “Jesus!” The gym instructor screamed, “Drop it!” My arms said, “You’re on your own, bro.”

 

That day, I became a local celebrity. Everyone in the gym now calls me “that guy we almost buried.”

 

But I didn’t stop. Oh no. I wanted to impress Sandra, remember?

 

So I downloaded a “7-minute abs” workout video. Midway through, I sneezed and pulled a muscle. For one full week, I walked like a rejected crab.

 

I finally invited her out to eat.

 

She ordered water and salad.

 

Me? I tried to pretend I liked healthy food too, so I ordered lettuce wrap with zero-carb dressing.

 

I got home and cried while eating bread with groundnut.

Moral of the Story:

If someone doesn’t like you the way you are, go and eat rice in peace. Health is good — but impressing someone shouldn’t leave you looking like a victim of kung fu training.
