The Change.

People have been asking why the sudden change in lifestyle and how did i manage to lose that much weight? Or in fact, am i using products to lose weight or whatsoever. Nope, im not using any products. To be honest, it wasnt a very drastic change over a short period of time, it was over a period of 10 months, till date. I have always been reading such blog post about girls losing weight online and have never imagine myself to have such a blog post... Hahahah! I would be more than happy if i ever did inspire anyone to lead a healthy lifestyle! Not that im leading a healthy lifestyle now, but at least im making the change in life, and i do hope such change would stay with me for life, including the healthy lifestyle! These are the few reasons for the change:-

#1 - Honestly had a shock when i stood on the weighing scale after Chinese New Year, that was back in February. My weight was freaking 93kg, and i thought to myself, i really need to do something about my weight now, if im ever gonna reach 100kg, that's a point of no return!

#2 - I was reading an article on Facebook, and i thought i really dont want to have to rely on medication for the rest of my life. Not that im relying on medication now. And the whole seeing my Mum and Grandma having to take so many medicine everyday, it kinda scares me too.

#3 - For those that has known me since young, i was fat since kindergarten! So another thought to myself after seeing how this Taiwanese artiste lose so much weight in 4 months, it actually motivates me for a change. So im thinking, i have been fat all these while, do i wanna be fat for the rest of my life? Do i not want to look pretty for once? Do i not want to know how pretty i can be if i slim down? Do i want to look back in life when im old and think to myself, why are you fat the whole life?

#4 - A friend said that he thinks i'll be very pretty if i were to slim down! Hahaha! He said a Sec Sch teacher said so too. So yup, why not try doing something and then see how pretty i can get?

#5 - The most important reason, everytime we walk past this particular apparel shop in Toa Payoh Central, Popo will always point out to that cheongsam on the mannequin and say actually you young girls should wear cheongsam, you will definitely look good in it. My replies to her will always be how will it look nice on me? Im so fat to even fit into one. Wait next year i slim down alrd i wear and show you. But who knows, she just left us forever. :( So i just wanted to keep to my words and if i can just fit into one and show it to her. Although she wont be able to see me physically... Omg, so sad!

Losing that 15kg wasnt easy. That first few months of controlling my diet was hell. I cut down on carbs, having multigrains, increased fruits and veggies input, stick to just having plain water everyday, totally cut off sugared drinks, ... But for people who know me long or i should say well enough, im a rice bucket (direct translate), and i love bread! So cutting them off was so tough at the beginning, but thank goodness as time passes, i dont crave for them as often as i used to. To think, i havent had rice for close to 3 months alrd. Eating clean really does cost a lot! And being in the industry, i would rather sleep than to wake up to prepare my meals, sometimes i dont even get to sleep, dont even have to mention giving up sleep to prepare meals. And sleep is just as important when it comes to losing weight. So yup, having to eat out and clean is such an expensive thing to do. But again, im thankful that meals are always catered. Although they arent always clean, i just had to deal with it and choose what i eat. Losing that 15kg wasnt easy, but i will definitely not go back to where i was before, that amount on the weighing scale was really OMG!

Just before anyone thinks im starving myself, nope I am not starving myself. I still take 3 meals everyday, sometimes even more meals, but i just choose what i eat now. No pills, no medications, no slimming products. Used to try slimming centres and got having spent so much money on them! Just solely choosing what i eat and exercise. Was reading articles online, and the ratio goes like that. 70% based on your diet, 20% on exercise and 10% on sleep. So technically you can lose weight with just controlling your diet. But you will become very flabby if you dont tone yourself up, like what i am now. Hahahah.

And yes, realising i cant exercise on my own, i am training with this personal trainer at Bodik now. It's very expensive for a personal training, but i see results, so i think it's money well spent? And they guide you along with correct posture for exercises and teach you to eat things the correct way, that you can still follow even after the programme. So why not right? I know there are other better programmes out there, but since i've started, then just complete it first. I mean i didnt regret joining. Most of the trainers are from Japan, because it's a Japanese company, but there's 2 Singaporean trainers there! Thank goodness. I trained with one Japanese trainer once, we both had a hard time trying to understand what both were trying to say... So ever since then, i have always been training with Wayne, my personal trainer. Oh wells.

I am also spending more time in the supermarket looking at nutritional information of the food that im gonna buy. I think it's a good thing because i pay attention to the protein fats sugar and carbo content now. But i still dont understand the whole ingredients part, that i think i still need time.

Current weighing at 75kg, i am hoping to drop to 70kg by end Jan, and then my goal is to be at 60kg or lesser. But if i can reach 60kg, i'd be more than happy because from 93kg to 60kg, that's like a good 33kg. Gonna burn all the fats and build up the muscles!!! I want a high muscle, low fat body!!! Working towards the aim now!

Only coming to realise i really needed a change at 25yo is a little too late, but it's always better to be late than never, isnt it? So if a person like me can do it, you can also do it! Secretly hopes it motivates someone out there reading this for a healthier lifestyle, but your health is yours, if you're not gonna make any changes to it now, you're never gonna make any changes later... This, i came to realise!

I hope i'll be 70kg the next time i post an update here! Time to continue to shed more weight and tone myself up! I have never been so open sharing my weight!!!
