A Nasty Four Letter Word...

DIET.
That has got to be the nastiest for letter word for a food lover like me. Argh!

But, I got to do it for two reasons.

1. Health
The last time I had a blood test, my cholesterol level was a bit leaning towards the high side. Not healthy. A no-no since members of my family (grandma, dad, mum, eldest bro, 2nd bro and sis) are diagnosed as having hypertension and they have to take the meds continuously. Yuck! My eldest bro also suffer from diabetes and since the results from my blood test also showed that my blood sugar was also borderline-high, I must do something. Health is wealth, they say.

2. Aesthetic
Compared to how I looked over the year(s), it's very obvious that I've put on weight. Compare between these images:
Me in 2003Me in 2007 (November)
Me in 2008 (June) - See how 'round' my cheeks are?

In view of the rising fuel prices, I can't afford to buy more clothes to accommodate further size expansions. I can feel that my fitness is lagging and my energy goes down. It is frustrating when putting on clothes that fits nicely before but now it's getting more snug (konon la, ketat dan sendat sebenarnya) and increasing the risk of experiencing wardrobe malfunction a la Hulk. Eeee... Takutnya!
I will be going for my post grad diploma's convocation sometime this year, and I really need to get back in shape or I might just break some tactless fellas' nose if they mention 'how round' my cheeks are getting. Gedebush!

Still planning my diet. Most probably will be a low carb and low-sugar diet.
Huhuhu *nangis*

note: Will be away for a few days. Bengkel teater thingy. Mana la tau, nanti jadi pelakon pulak, konon nya *sic*

from time to time getting more and more beautiful. sometime gaining weight is not like jumping to hell.if i were your personal "health trainer", i will say "forget about diet and lets go dinner with me".

I'm not very self-discipline when it comes to healthy-diet. Main hentam. Hence, my cheeks are getting chubbier by bites.

For my own peace of mind, I take one sugar instead of two, makan pun main enda abis. Kasih amat. Hahahah.
