My cousin, who’s currently in the online trading business, is fat. Not excessively plump or big boned, but fat. He IS almost in the scale of filthy rich, but he’s fat. The I-might-have-a-heart-attack-anytime-soon type of fat.

It’s quite sad to know that people nowadays are so busy trying to get rich that they neglect their health – something that once lost, cannot be restored to its full functionality, not even if you’re swimming in money and are willing to pay the bill.

You may have all the riches in the world, but the question is, with your current health condition, will you be able to enjoy it? For how long?

The count down starts now. The family’s favorite aunt from New York is arriving within 24 hours. She celebrated her 50th birthday last January 2007, and sent the video coverage of the party. The family members were all praises to the grand celebration. However, they noted the extra weight of the aunt. This observation reached New York, and the aunt to their surprise took the comments positively. That kind remarks from the people who care, serves as the jumping board for the transformation of the aunt’s new image.

Few months ago, the aunt was bragging that she has been health conscious. She regularly puts on her pair of running shoes, and observes a strict diet. She told her nieces and nephews to do their best at the airport to meet her, since there is the possibility of not recognizing her, now that she’s wearing her new clothes size. She is very thankful for the family’s concern, for she now looks younger, feels stronger and works better. Today, the favorite aunt is already a part of the growing Healthy New York.

Only few hours left, thus, everybody is eager to meet the healthy New Yorker aunt who brings gifts to each member of the family.
