Some Things Don't Change

It's nice to know some things don't change! A perfect example is every night, I have to figure out what to wear to work the next day. And especially if I am heading off to the gym in the morning and going straight to work from there, I really have to think about what to pack in my bag. At least if I was at home, I could try on a couple of outfits and finally settle on the one that works for me that day. 

Conclusion: No matter what size you are, beautiful dresses or comfortable outfits or fashionable attire, you still have to figure out what to wear! And that part has not changed for me at all. LoL!

Go to Bed Fat and Wake Up Thin!

Maybe I should make a movie of myself too!

Lose 3 stone in 12 weeks! Here's the proof!

Film about a woman who is unhappy with being obese, and realises that she has to do something about her weight before she goes on holiday with her husband.

She goes on the Howards Way 'Very Low Calorie Diet' (VLCD) and succeeds in losing over 3 stone in just 12 weeks.

This film is based on a true story of Emma Wood, who kept a daily blog about her experiences here...

They Think You're HOT!

When a guy friend tells you that other guys now think you're HOT, it makes you think - that forbidden food is just not worth eating!

*hold on to that thought*

Only Another Woman...

... would notice the difference!

Over lunch today, I met a couple whom I knew from my previous work place and the wife said to me, "You're looking very well! Have you lost weight?" So I said proudly, "I've lost 30kg!" To which the husband replies, "Bloody hell! Well done!" And then she says, "Yes that's what I've noticed, you've lost weight!"

As I walked to the car, I told my parents, only a woman would notice whether another woman has lost weight or not. I'm not sure if men can tell if a woman has lost weight or not but hearing from the stories of my friends who are in relationships, the men sure notice if you have gained weight!

You're so soft... and cuddly!

It's just one of those days where I can't understand why my pictures end up on Multiply the wrong way around even though I've rotated them!

Meet Hunyi. Eldest daughter to YC and Pek Ching. Pek Ching has also gone on the adventure and has moved on to phase 2 of the program. 

Hunyi likes to hug me and what I really love about the hug is that she will say, "You're so soooooooft... and cuddly!" It makes me feel good that despite the weight loss, I'm still huggable. 

What's incredible about Hunyi is that her current weight is the amount of weight I have lost which is around 23kg. 

So it tickles me now when she latches herself on to me and hugs me because she's the "part" of me that I "lost"! I joke with YC and Pek Ching that eventually all 3 of their children combined will be the total weight that I will be losing! We'll see!

You lost 6kg right?

I attended a wedding over the weekend and I have comments from friends who say I keep on shrinking. I am not too sure or very conscious over the shrinking factor. All I revel in the fact is that my baju kurung that used to show my shape is now looser and I enjoy the extra space!

I was happily eating the food prepared (of course in accordance to the food plan or at least "close to" it) and one my table companions said to me, "You lost so much weight!"

And I said to her, over a piece of fish, "Yes, I have."

She then replies, "You lost 6kg right?"

I put my piece of fish down on the plate, paused and turned to look at her. I see she was holding her spoon after scooping some soup and held it there until I answered. I replied, "Errr... actually I lost 23kg."

She puts the soup spoon down, "Wow! 23kg! How did you do it?"

I was amused. People didn't think I was that big or that heavy in the first place because of my height. And also, it's hard to comprehend to actually hear that someone has lost more than 10kg! Losing 5kg IS already an achievement, a celebration when it's 10kg but a great party when it's 20kg! It should probably be declared a public holiday when I lose 50kg!

Another reminder not to take it for granted how far I've come. I've been fighting cravings over the long weekend. And when I stepped on the weighing scale this morning, I'm now 94.9kg. That's a total weight loss of 24.2kg!

Shane & Mio Ting, if you're reading this, I can't find my measuring tape!

Back or Breasts?

I now send an email to Shane of my measurements on a weekly basis. It's a requirement of this adventure so as to make sure the eating plan is working out for you. And the other day, I measured my chest and it's gone down another 3 cm!

So I sms Shane, "Shane my boobs are shrinking!"

She replies, "hehe! It's not your breasts la, it's your back!"

Oh... I knew that! *phewh*

Definitely the back is going down. I can feel the line and the curve. I can't describe it but you will know when you run your fingers down by back... if you ever have the chance! 

The Rice Giving Ceremony

Today's rice giving ceremony involves the following steps:

1. Pick up the two bags of rice and take a picture with it because next time you might be taking a picture with 3 or 4 bags!

 

2. Carry the two bags of rice downstairs without any help (to remind yourself that this was how much you used to carry!)

3. Place the two bags of rice in the vehicle of the person receiving the rice.

4. Take a picture of the person receiving the rice looking very happy!

I hope you and your family enjoy the rice Intan! 

Muffin Tops

We do strange things in the office. Each day I would share my weight loss milestones with my colleagues and one day, Caryn introduced me to muffin tops! I was like eh? Muffin tops? At first I thought it was the muffin that's in the picture below. See the muffin top? It's so yummy looking!

But then she explained it was not. It's the part where you squeeze your tummy with your hands and you get a tubular look to your tummy that can hang over the top of your trousers. In case you don't understand which part I'm referring to, just look at the picture below. That's a human muffin top!

Consider this a "before" photo and the "after" photo will follow suit after a few more weeks!

We started comparing muffin tops then. Very cute Caryn! I like muffin tops better than being called the Michelin Man! But at the end of the day, this will be our motto....
