Reflections on a slow-aging book bestseller ranking

People say writing a book changes your life. I wondered whether it would. Many people encouraged me, so I concentrated intensely and poured my experience and knowledge into it. Afterwards I felt completely drained. After handing it to the publisher and seeing it listed at Kyobo, my heart felt as though it had stopped.

I had done my best and could only entrust the result to God. The motif for my book's cover came from the Bible.

I wrote about the questions people ask: unusual appetite after liposuction, constant snacking after stomach surgery, intermittent overeating during intermittent fasting, wanting to lose weight while retaining breast and facial volume, and feeling unwell after losing 3–4 kg. These are the topics and observations described by the author, not universal effects of those procedures.

The author recalled a patient reaching a goal after losing more than 10 kg in 2 months and reporting greater confidence in managing weight. This is an individual account, not a promised rate or outcome.

The original reflection hoped that people could move from an urgent concern about obesity toward a more sustainable approach to aging. It emphasized knowledge rather than blaming lack of willpower.
