Losing Weight

About a year ago around this time, I was heavily pregnant. I gained a hefty 13kg (or was it more) and I ONLY managed to lose 7kg, which leaves me another 6kg to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. But ideally, I want to get back to my weight to the day I got married. So from pre-pregnancy weight to wedding day weight, that’s like additional 5kg! In total, I need to lose 11kg! OMG! That if I really gained 13kg during pregnancy! Hahaha.


How am I going to do that?


Start dieting? No matter how hard I try dieting, it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried staying away from eating rice and carbs, I did the protein diet, I tried cutting down on my meals portion. Maybe it’s the wrong way of dieting altogether, but it just doesn’t work.


Exercise? Hmmm gym days are long gone for me. I just don’t have the drive and willpower anymore. First month enrolment mmg la beriya pergi, beli kasut baru, beg baru, sports bra baru…after tht simpan je la dlm almari. Although I did lose a bit of weight when the time I went to the gym, but I couldn’t stand the after exercise fatigue. So gym is out. But what bout other forms of exercise like yoga, jazzercise, kickboxing? I’d love to do that…but I just can’t find classes nearby my house. So that’s another excuse.


Body slimming program? Does this even work? They squeeze money out of you, but results nya? A cousin of mine did go to one of the beauty slimming centre, she did the whole body wrap and all the other slimming treatments, she only lost a bit of weight, and months later, she gained more weight than what she lost. Not to mention that she spent thousands for that. Besides her, I haven’t met anyone else that I know who has been to the slimming programs. Yes sure there are slim ads that show the before and after weight loss models, but I don’t really believe it. They will do anything to fool the eyes of the readers. Advertisements are all about enticing people for things that are not really true. Plus, I don’t have thousands to spend on a weight loss program.


Weeks ago – I fell ill and I was stressed with few things that happened at work and on some things that were personal. I lost 2 kg in a week. But takkan la I want to continue being sick and stress so that I can lose a few more kan? That was one week of hell.


So…any tips to lose weight? That would help!

My daily fix
The tea lady was on half day leave today. She wasn’t in in the morning. Everybody went berserk like… “Mana ah-yong? Nak kopi!!!”. “Naper ah-yong cuti? Sapa nak wat air?”.

In the afternoon at 3pm, I heard the sound of Ah-Yong’s trolley. I was like… “Ah yong dtg!!!”. And everyone else was like…

“Ha, yong…ingat u takde dtg. Byk haus woh”
“Yong, baru masuk ka?”
“Takda minum Yong punya kopi tak boleh buat kerja la pagi”
“Yong, mana u pegi? U takda byk susah la”.

You see, her presence cheers us up. We all cannot focus in the morning when she didn’t fix us our morning drinks. We are all just plain lazy to walk downstairs to buy coffee/tea at the café, very lazy to take the lift to go to pantry and fix our own coffee. We are so dependent on her. Aren’t we all so spoilt?

Wanting to be a SuperMom
I know I should not be making excuses about why I have not been blogging. Truth is, I don’t even know if anyone ever reads this.

But I see my blog as a place for me to leash things that are boiling inside me. Sometimes it’s personal, sometimes it’s just plain whining.

You know, of late, I have this feeling inside me that I don’t want to do anything in my life. I just want to stay quietly at home and enjoy my time with my mini me. I feel sad when I have to leave her in the morning to go to work. I feel sad at work when I know I’m missing out on her everyday developments. Like I may not be the first to hear her say “mummy”, or see her takes her first steps, or see her facial expressions. Those things matter to me, and I feel less of a mother when I cannot be there for her every first things.

Some say, take a break from work. Wow I love that idea. But when I’m ready to come back to work in say…2-3 years time, what if I’ve missed out on my own career development? I don’t want to have the same position as I did before I quit. To add more salt to the wound, the economic turmoil now is worrying. Some have lost their jobs and many others are fighting to keep theirs. I know I have to be thankful for the blessings I have in my life for now, quitting now is not an option. But what about my baby? She needs me. I need to be with her. I’m cutting hours at work as much as I can, bringing work home, work at nights, but that would leave me feeling so tired the next day. Sometimes I wish I can be a supermom. I want to be a career woman. I want to be the mother than can focus on her child all the time. I want to be able to still do the house chores and be like other housewives who cook for their husbands. I want to have it all, but I guess, I can’t, can I?
