b. The scale ranging from skinny to obese showing a person's built is shown below:

· Extremely lethargic life

· Boring, unenthusiastic life;

· Loneliness with no friends and beloved;

· He couldn't hangout with friends, play sports, go for movies, operate bank, buy stationery and grocery, etc.

He did not go on a serious diet when he was much younger because he was a foodoholic and had no excuse for the same. He loved food and this addiction was fuelled by food brought in by family members.

I would have asked Walter to reduce intake of carbohydrates, oil, fats and should incorporate fruits and leafy vegetables in his diet. Boiled food intake would also help him reduce weight to a great extent.

Most probably, he survived on dole that was donated by the state.

Walter might have hired a cook or maybe he stayed with his mother who cooked the food for him. Of course, these people were responsible for his obesity and are to be blamed.

Today I woke up at 12 pm. I saw two movies last night and went to bed really late. For brunch I had 10 sandwiches, 2 bowls of mashed potatoes, 10 bottles of coke and 4 apple pies. After this feast, I felt lazy and lethargic again. So I dozed off until 6 in the evening. At 6 I turned on the television and saw that my favourite movie was going to be telecasted. So I remained glued to the television for the next 4 hours. I ate 6 packets of caramel popcorn, 3 packets of nachos with cheese and salsa and drank 5 bottles of coke. Food and television make my life complete. I wonder what I would do without these two things!
