FaT oR nOt?

never in my wildest dreams did i imagine talking about being fat. i belong to the "blessed" ones who can eat anything and never get fat. but that was before, when i used to live in the phils. when we moved here in malaysia, things became different.

we were at the mall about a month ago when we saw this weighing scale. i almost fainted when i looked at my weight results. 120 lbs! wah! is this true? ako? na umabot lang ng 100 lbs nung buntis at bumalik uli below 100 lbs after manganak? na sinasabihan nilang parang hindi nagbuntis dahil hindi man lang tumaba? mali. may sira ata tong weighing scale na to.

after that incident, we went to the grocery. i immediately looked for the bathroom scale. when i found it, i was a bit scared. and then… wah! 120 lbs nga! ano ba tong mga weighing scale dito?!? puro sira!

i was so shocked. paano nangyari yun? paano ako naging 120lbs? hindi pwede to! aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! i began analyzing what i was eating. pareho lang naman. 3 beses 1 araw + meryenda. wala ng midnight snack. sa pinas nga kanin pa ang almusal ko, dito madalas tinapay lang. baka mas masustansya ang bigas dito? kaya kahit twice a day lang eh nakakataba? duh!

from that time on, i tried to lessen my rice intake. though im not really used to it. im the "more rice, less dish" type of eater. but then i had to change. it was so difficult. im still trying to follow the less rice rule up to now. though there are times when i really feel hungry, i would eat rice as much as i want.. no matter what my husband comments. haha!

i always say to myself, di naman cguro ako overweight para sa height ko. titignan ko nga sa net bukas yun BMI. but then i always tend to forgot to look for it. not until today. i finally remembered to look for it.  gladly, i found it! and im more glad with the results.. hehe..

woohoo! so there. from the calculation, i am just a little over the normal and soooo far from being an overweight.
