I believe every women is afraid to gain weight. I have always maintain 47-48kg till I get married. My weight was suddenly like stock market, shooting up to 51kg. Everytime I weight myself I wanted to cry. I am trying to loss weight as I cant fit into my jeans, it really upset me, am i eating too much? I dont really want to go weigh myself now. Everytime see the weigh still the same, i feel demoralized.
Everytime i see my fats, i feel so upset, knowing within short period i cant slim down. Why are my fats coming to me....haiyo....go away please!
I have been cutting down on the food i eat, if possible every monday to thursday night i will go home, eat my oatmeal for dinner, with a dish of veges or soup. Only friday, saturday and sunday i will eat abit more. But will try to control of the amount of food i ate. During lunch i will try to eat only sliced fish bee hoon soup, maybe every wednesday i will pamper myself during lunch, mon, tues, thu and fri sliced fish bee hoon soup only.
Recently i start my jogging routine again, which i have stopped for many many months. Just started last week, every tues and thurs, after dinner i rest 1/2 hr, than went downstair, to the park nearby, walk for 15 mins before i start to run. If i am not going out on mon night and wed night i dont have to ot, i will make it to 3 times a week. Hopefully i will see results.
Really envy some people, no matter how much they eat, they wont grow fat. I think i eat air and drink water only also will become fat. I know i cant go back to 45kg, as long as i can maintain at 47-48kg, i will be very happy. I realise as age gets older, its getting harder and harder to slim down. But i will try to do my best, my jeans is my motivation now, as long i can get into my jeans, that means i am successful. I must jia you.
Dear Ah Pooh,
ReplyDeleteFrom what I understand of my wife's experience, weight gain seems a natural and unavoidable part of life for many married women.
I strongly suspect it's not simply diet and exercise, or even lifestyle change.
Perhaps it's also a change in the state of mind after getting married.
While it is common to believe that having children makes even a young mother put on weight, my wife actually lost weight after having both our boys, and gained weight in between.
Perhaps stress with family life, even before children come along, plays a part too, and I mean both negative stress (called distress) and positive stress (eustress, e.g. excited and happy about being married).
I wish you all the best in achieving your dream weight.
At the same time, because I have been obese most of my life, I think I don't have so many issues with being skinny, unlike perhaps those who cannot understand how it feels to be on the opposite end.
I believe that the male and female human changes, as we pass through various stages in life, can be celebrated, not feared over.
So I see slender young ladies mature into well-endowed mothers, and I'm grateful for their sake that mother nature prepares our bodies for different phases in the long road of existence.
Growing up should not be feared.
I definitely don't think it's only about the body breaking down, as we grow older.
Instead I feel more and more strongly that our wonderful body keeps adjusting and adjusting down the years, until the very end.
That is the beauty I see in a newborn baby, the same beauty in the eyes of an elderly grandmother.
