This has been my issue for the ahhhhm past five years. Every time i look in the mirror, i am saddened with what i see. Curves in all the wrong places sheez. This started when worked as a legal staff. Fastfood, wrong lifestyle and lack of exercise. I recall a friend asking me once, "comfortable ka ba sa katawan mong yan?" I almost shouted, kelangan ba bang itanong yan? but i posted a smile and said.... "yes i am!" but deep inside i was already crying out of embarrassment. So a week after, i enrolled in the gym. I enjoyed going to the gym however it only lasted for almost six months and then i stopped because i got busy with studies and work.
Side effect: i ballooned again. It did not really matter that much before because i know some who are bigger than i am. It is only when someone close to me comments that i try to lose weight but after a while i stop because my reason is not that strong ...But now i am truly alarmed.....it has come to the point that it has affected my health. My menstruation is no longer regular and have polycystic ovary- all caused by excess fats!
Fear- when my OB said "you have to do something about your weight otherwise we will have a hard time not to mention expensive treatment in order for you to conceive (i had been married for almost a year);further my family has a history of Diabetes.... my dad and uncle died on an early age due to this decease.
Goal- To get rid of the excess 45 pounds on or before December 31,2010... to be exact that would be Nine months and 1 week from now. Than means i should lose at least 5-6 pounds a month, 1.5 pounds per week.... is this realistic? it is!
How? Well losing weight is not easy. I attempted many times, i did loose weight but only for a while then i gained it back again. A close friend said my reason should be really strong in order for me to achieve my goal.
Last week, i attended mass where i bought thin brochure titled "7 days of prayer & fasting by Bo Sanchez". I was inspired by the effect of this thin brochure to my friend... he indeed shrink a little.....that night, i was reading its contents and it really struck me. I felt guilty for not having taken care of my body.. which is just borrowed from the lord.
I will do the 7 days fasting. I prefer the liquid only fasting which means i will only consume water and fresh fruit and vegetable juice for 7 days. This is to detoxify by body.
For a start, since the beginning of March, i already reduced my food consumption, and for this week,i
