dying with a 't'

i’m going to die, with a t!

lately i have been putting on too many pounds, too quickly. initially, when the numbers on the scale started inching higher i gave it a little leaway. nah, it’s just water retention. a little extra weight won’t hurt. it’ll come down in no time, don’t you worry your pretty little head over it. however, when the numbers kept going up, like my age, it’s now time to declare war – on my fats. hey, it’s definitely not muscle that i’m packing in!

today is the first day of my diet! my body is extremely intuitive. mention the word diet, and it screams that it is hungry, even if you have just sat down for a wonderful three-course meal. this nice blogger has already turned into a snarling growling vicious hungry little lady. sob! at 10.30 this morning, i have resorted to eating my lunch. at 1pm, i needed something more; a post-lunch lunch. and now, at 4:00pm, i don’t have any energy left to punch the keyboards. is it time for dinner yet?

why is it that you gain 1kilogram from a 500 grams cheeseburger? where does the weight come from?!! why doesn’t it work like a piggy bank; how much you put in is how much you get? all those complicated calorie counts and carbohydrate theories! it doesn’t make sense! it’s illogical. if you add 100 grams to a box that weighs 10g, it will now be 110gms, right? there’s no calorie or metabolism crap. if my theory was true, everybody will be eating candy floss!! yummmmmy!

shit! this is no way to start a diet – with more talk of food! over the weekend, i have pre-cooked and pre-planned my meals for the week. they are all sitting nicely in my lock-n-lock boxes in the freezer, ready in the press of a button. sounds like wonderful planning, doesn't it? well, there is one huge flaw in all that..and it seems like it's going to be the downfall of my diet. i underestimated the portion size!! darn! two chicken wings for lunch?! bah, i can eat the whole chicken!!wait a minute! i keep coming back to the topic of food!

i need something to channel all my energy into. excuse me while i flip through my magazines (and slash those pictures of super-thin sexy models with my cutter.)

dear monty: argghhhhh! scram! shoo! grrrrrr! someone call the diet police to arrest this fella!! if i don't lose a single pound, it's going to be because of YOU!

dear sooi2: maaaaa!!!! another naughty one! *sob* wicked lah, you people. re the error in measurement, sorry, dieting has caused a lack of blood flow to the brain. i will not be responsible for the things i say and do during this period. anyone saw monty? *hiding butcher knife behind back*

dear fei: haiyoh! so gooooood fren ah! somemore want to put my flabs on posters all over the world. you are sooooo sweet! can die, i tell you *tightening grip on butcher knife*

dear may: you are too kind, sweet miss. miss may is still slender and trim, unsuitable to partake in complaining about her weight until the next decade. *grins*

dear cocka: you laughing at the 2 wicked people ah? where have you seen people come and talk abut delicious food to people on diet?! sabotage!

serious question, why suddenly this desire for dieting?

Anyway, if you are interested, I once followed this book called 'Fit for Life'(first book), it's doesn't call for controlling the amount of food, but just the combination and the timing that you eat.

It works on the principle that if your body can digest food efficiently, you will naturally lose weight. And also detoxification.

It helped me lose 10 kg in six months without being conscious of it and makes you feel more better. Feeling better was my goal then, the 10 kg loss was a BIG PLUS. LOL, however I don't have the drive or discipline to do it at the moment *drat, I sense I'm giving LM an opening here*

simple and effective way of dieting:

breakfast: lormaikai x 2
brunch : charsiu and siuyoke (minus rice becos rice fattening)
lunch: cheeseburger and coke float put 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream.
tea time: cheesecake and engrish tea.
dinner: fried chicken, stew beef and muichoy kauyuk. remember, no rice.
supper: something light, maybe mashed potatoes.

try 8 times a week.

dear ah pek: men always say that. but then they go ogle at sexy trim ladies!! *rolling eyes* i'm not trying to be skeleton-thin, just losing some weight to have a little more room around my clothes.
