I’m just in 6th grade when I started gaining weight. From then on, “chubby” has been a constant part of my description. Donuts, muffins, and other pastries have been my friends. I love them to bits. And they love me, too. They never leave my viscera. Like a lifevest inside my body.
Stress has been a great tool for losing weight. I learned that when I was 16. Without any effort, I lost a lot of weight. But when I was 19, I started gaining weight again. And from then I have a fluctuating weight. I would either lose or gain weight.
When I started working, I tried to go on a diet. But still, stress has been the tool for me. Until a room mate told me about this certain Chinese pill that can be bought on a Chinese drugstore. I tried it and nearly passed out. I would often visit the comfort room. No matter where I was. It was such a hassle. I was dehydrated. Good thing I was kinda resistant to stress that was why I was still able to go home. From then on, I promised myself that I would never again tried to take any weight loss pill.
One year later, my good friend introduced me to calorie counting. It was effective for me. But I was forced to stop it because I felt like I needed all the nutrients I could get for my further studies. I felt like I was starving myself that time.
My biggest was several months ago. See the picture above. I was the one wearing a brown blouse.
Anyway, two years later, here I am. I decided to try this again. So far I have lost 16 pounds already. I know long term calorie counting is not ideal especially when maintaining weight. That is why I am now reading blogs from all over America, Europe, Australia–reading tips and food groups–healthy food choices.
