Sharing on the Loss of Weight

I am currently facing the biggest crisis on weight issue since 17. Throughout the 7 years, my weight has constantly stayed in sweet 50kg. Of course, sometimes it will come to 49kg; or 52kg during CNY. Nevertheless, it will still go back to 50kg in very short time.

Things changed during my 4 months internship in KL. As I have to survive on my own in KL, I will usually eat up all the free meal provided in my company. (Save money ma) As a government agency, there are A LOT of free meal provided in my company. Furthermore, I started to have heavy breakfast like Nasi Lemak, Mee Goreng, Mihun Goreng. Besides, to prevent myself from getting hungry in office, I will finish up all my lunch. (I used to eat less than half bowl of rice for every meal)

The consequence is, I gained 4kg in this 4 months. It is unbelievable when I first saw 54kg on the weighing scale. How is that possible? Where is my sweet 50kg? There must be something wrong with this machine!

The worst part is that, all the clothes I brought to KL are relatively loose. Hence, I do not think the 4kg really matters; cause I still managed to put on my old clothes, and I still don't look fat, at least this weight is still acceptable.

When I went back to my own home, start wearing my nice fitting clothes instead of office wear, only then did I realize this has become a very serious issue. All my clothes are tight! Finally, this alerts my emergency bell.

Just because of those free meals, my sweet 50kg just gone in 4 months time, which it stays with me for 7 years! Idiot la me.

So, after working out on this issue for almost 3 weeks, I would like to share some of my opinions on losing weight.

1. EXERCISE

There is no short cut to lose weight other than get yourself moving. It is okay to not exercise daily, but please keep it at least thrice a week. Thrice a week is like you get a day off after every exercise. Sound good right?

I know it is hard to exercise. As for myself, I will watch a funny entertainment show every time I exercise. The show is funny enough for me to immerse in the show, that I don't feel the pain of exercising at that moment. Every episode of the show is 45 min, sometimes when I really enjoy myself in the show, I will work out for the entire 45 mins without realizing. However, I will usually stop at around 20-25 mins.

2. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF

When you starve yourself, you will feel that the whole losing weighing process is very torturing, which ended up most of the people fail to lose weight. I have tried eating chicken breast & vege for a meal, like those typical eat clean meal. But as a very typical Asian, I must have starch for every meal. So, I just maintain my normal eating habit. For those can survive without starch, I strongly recommend you to go for the eat clean meal. It is surprisingly fuller than having starch. It is also better to consume natural food compare to processing food.

If you feel like having supper on a night, please just go for it. Do not ever repressed your desire as it will transform to a big monster in the future. After all, it is only some nights having supper but not every night.

3. DRINK WATER (at least 1.5l per day)

Cause it speeds up metabolism

Coming to the third week of exercising & without starving, (even visited cafe, ordered cake & sweet drinks twice) I have lost 1.5kg. I was doing good at first, for now, I feel like I have come to the stagnant stage. (Sigh) But I will definitely work hard to get back 50kg. 

It feels so good when people tell you that you have lost weight, I mean boyfie and Airin :D

Coco Review

I used to be a movie freak, it was the time before entering university. I remember I watched Jackie Chan’s 12 Zodiac for three times in the cinema. (ALL THE MONEYYYYYYYY) Till I know a person in uni, telling me that watching one movie can actually pay for a meal; you can always download it online. Since then, I never visit to cinema, unless outing with friends. (Oh ya, I used to enjoy watching movie alone.)

Things changed after I joined toastmasters and undergo my internship. I realized that movie is a bridge that connects people instantly regarding gender, occupation or even age. So then, I found the urge to watch movie to fit in the society.

As a super stingy person, I buy a ticket that shows before 6pm. As you can see the pricing list here.

So I chose Coco as it won New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Animated Film. For the first half hour, surprisingly it showed a short film of Frozen’s Christmas version. I thought that was a part of the movie lol. Turns out it was Disney's special gift for the audience.

I am too lazy to write the plot, it is available in Wikipedia by the way. However, I have some thoughts to share:

1.     I didn’t know every Mexican loves music till I watched the movie.

2.     Thumbs up for the one who drew Coco, the great grandmother, all the wrinkles touch my heart, making me feel like taking care of this real old Alzheimer grandmother   

3.     When Miguel sings ‘Remember Me’ and Coco finally remembers, it is so touching, that I cried

4.     I really love this movie, no matter the plot, character and the animation, all are really great

Look at those colours.

Ps: I used to refuse watching this type of ‘Cartoon’ film, isn’t that childish and funny for a all grown up person to watch this kind of movie? Till I was brought by friend to watch this type of movie, and Frozen was the film. Since then, I started to enjoy the ‘Cartoon’ film. Whoever has the same thought as me, you should really try watching it. It is somehow better than most of the movie.
