186. Rebecca Rowndie 丽贝卡.朗黛 regimen-relentless 1
Rebecca Rowndie was grossly overweight. Her friends were reluctant to take her out to dinner with them because she would not only finish her meal, but also vacuum up everyone else’s, too. When she got so big that she had to buy a new wardrobe for the third time, she finally decided 2 to register at an eating rehabilitation 3 center. She rehearsed her lines and headed off.
The reigning 5 nutritionist at the center was Nurse Rechette (as in retch it’). Nurse Rechette during her reign 4 had helped many an obese 6 woman lose weight. She put Rebecca on a strict regimen of beans. This regimentation 7 was designed to regulate her eating, rehabilitate 8 her eating habits, and rejuvenate 9 her youth. One of the regulations of the center was that if the client didn’t reach her goal, she would be reimbursed 11 in full. So Nurse Rechette was relentless in her efforts to help Rebecca lose weight. She never relaxed in trying to get her to drop a few pounds for fear that relaxation 12 would result in a relapse of bad eating habits and rekindle 13 the desire to overeat a relaxed dieter could never lose weight. Nurse Rechette, therefore, relegated 15 the duty of administering beans to the clients, reinforced good proper eating, and reiterated 17 that the rejection 18 of eating fatty foods was essential to success. In addition, to reject food that one loved was essential in building character.
On occasion, as a part of the exercise regimen, Nurse Rechette would organize a relay race among the clients. As you know, a side effect of eating beans is gas. As the clients were running the relay race, there were squeaky little releases going on all around the track. Nurse Rechette attributed these releases to the healthy eating.
Upon Rebecca’s departure from the center, she had lost 200 lbs., nearly twice her new body weight. She thanked Nurse Rechette and went home a new woman.
