Li Ming recently discovered that he had gained quite a bit of weight, and he couldn't even fit into his old trousers.

Consequently, he made a firm resolution to lose weight.

On Saturday afternoon, Li Ming went to the gym near his home.

He ran on the treadmill for ten minutes and was already so tired that he sweated a lot.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he felt very moved and thought to himself, "I worked so hard today, I must have lost some weight."

When he walked out of the gym, he suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance.

It turned out that there was a delicious Spicy Hot Pot shop right next door.

Li Ming hesitated for a moment and said to himself: "Since I have already exercised today, I should reward myself.

Only by eating a good meal will I have the strength to continue losing weight!"

As a result, he ordered a big bowl of lamb and meatballs and ate it all up clean.

A month passed, and because of this kind of "reward", Li Ming not only didn't get thinner, but instead gained two kilograms.
