For a little over 7 months I've struggled with my looks. I haven't exactly liked looking at myself in the mirror and the word 'diet' has probably become my 2nd most used word. My friend and sis, Eva, is certainly tired of my bants.
Have I put on weight? Yes? Did I change the quantity of food I used to eat? No. But somehow every other person has managed to stay the same. So what happened to me? :(
Yeah these were the stuff that clouded my mind... But instead of wallowing in self pity, I decided to exercise and apply the 80/20 rule to what I eat. Meaning 80% of the time I'm eating fruits and vegetables, drinking lemon and water and well once in a while, I indulge.
Then, it happens - people who probably haven't seen me in a little over a bit see me and go 'oh my! You've gained weight.' Naturally, I'll smile and say 'oh really? Hehe' but what I really want to say is 'Gee! Thanks. Like i didnt already know that' followed by a rolling of the eyes of course'.
How didn't I even realize I was adding weight?
Anyway, fact is I never believed I was ever gonna have to worry about what to eat or drink cos I didn't think the sizes of what I used to put on was going to change... :( now I know and I've taken charge...
Um but do me a favor.. If u ever see me and u've read this. And u go 'oh my! U've gained weight', 'Gee thanks...' wouldn't be my answer any more, I will just simply bite you.. and bite u hard I will..
Ehen. Bhet I am doing generally good. Getting back in shape. And I realized contrary to what I let people make me believe, the weight gain really wasn't that bad ;)
Plus being big isn't bad.. If God thought skinny was the ish, We all would have been that :)
