Thoughts of a Phyto-Club member

hihi, i'm so excited abt the program tat i'm keeping track of everything i eat tis wk in this little notebook i carry in my bag. afterall, it took mi a long time to finally decide to do something abt the weight tat i put on 5 yrs back.

if anyone u noe is putting off weight mgmt, let mi tell u tat it's always better to start earlier than later. and the task is not as daunting as well.

from my experience, i managed to lose the weight i put on 1½ yrs back for my second child.
i hardly exercise ( should be never, except for the 12 sessions of yoga classes ) and i eat a extremely full lunch ( if i dun take rice, my stomach is growling by 5pm ).
but simply by cutting down on the amount of carbo ( rice ) of my dinner by half, my weight was going down steadily.

it wasn't quick but it was slow & steady and i was quite happy to have lost 14 kg within 1 yr. i was 64kg post maternity leave & ballooned to size "XL" for my bottoms. now at least i am somewhere between size "M" and "L".

then i hit my "plateau". my weight stopped going down & i was back to my weight 3 yrs back before i had my 2nd child. thankfully my weight didn't go up again even though i wasn't watching my diet as consciously. some nights, i even ate nasi lemak as supper.

i wish i had put in more effort to bring down my weight 5 yrs ago then i won't haf such a hard time but life is not abt regrets. tat's y i have made up my mind to work hard & achieve my desired size.

weight control is a life long process & it's not just about beauty. as we age, we really need to watch what we eat & if we can bring ourselves to do it, EXERCISE! i guess it's abt doing everything in moderation. i'm still going to enjoy my chilli crab & pork knuckles but i'm NOT going to stuff myself everyday.

of course as a bonus, nobody will complain abt looking good & tat will boost your self confidence as well.
