Fat

Been reading those beauty/health forums on tips on how to lose weight and I swear, I don't think anything works!

First they say no fast food, no oily/fried food. I don't EVER eat McDonalds. Once in a blue moon I may share a sundae with G but I haven't had a full McDonalds meal for at least 2 years. I have never eaten at Macs here in HK and I have only had KFC twice.

Then they say no sweet stuff & soft drinks. I drink Coke probably once a month or less. I drink a heck a lot of tea now. Nowadays I don't even order the cha chan teng ice lemon tea which totally rocks btw. I don't eat loads of chocs - I may pop the occasional M&M or Malteser in my mouth but I won't die if I don't eat cakes nor ice cream. I mean I like them but I prefer the savoury stuff.

Eat more fruits & vegs. Alright could be the tricky bit here. I do try to make a conscious effort to eat them but honestly it is so damn hard to find food here in HK that gives u veg. It's not like they have cai png u know! They give you one or two stalks of green veg if you order char siew rice or wanton mee. Fruits aretrickier, I get at best one portion a day and sometimes I forget too! How to eat 3 portions of fruits a day!?

Exercise is my ultimate slacker. When I was in SG, I used to gym 2 - 3 times a week and that would be at least 1 -2 hours of cardio PLUS weights. I didn't feel thinner but I just had a bit more energy. I can't be arsed to gym now so I go yoga. I go 3 - 4 times a week. Now I think I should buck up and just go 5 times a week. In fact I should do 2 sessions on Sat and 2 sessions on Sun! Why not? I AM FAT ANYWAY.

But seriously so far the only time when I dropped weight was when I had stomach flu and was throwing up and eating little. It almost makes me wish I have stomach flu so I can be medically bulimic.

I want to stab my fats and drain them out!

hey.. maybe its a metabolism thingy..

It cant be veg or fruits lah... (i hardly eat them) and i weigh like.. 43kg at most..

Maybe you can do this.

Eat a heavier breakkie. Eat a light lunchie and eat an ALL-FRUITS diet for dinner. No food 4 hours before you sleep.

And continue your excercises.. that should help.

I lost like 10 kg over 3 years. From 52 to 42kg(at my minimum) But i swear I didnt do anything about it. Heck! i don't even excercise. Sometimes it just happens. And look, you are not like SMALL BUILT in the first place.. so if you lose like 2 to 5kg.. thats VERY GOOD already.

Good Luck!! heehee
