Cheers for losing weight!

So I’m finally sick of being the fat girl after one unbearable night that got me depressed for weeks and made me decide that I will take a better care of myself from that day on. At first, I’m not very proud of what I was doing, hey, I’m doing something just because people can’t take that I’m so fat. But whatever, teasing stopped so I should be content already.

Only three people acknowledged my being thinner though, my mom, and two former officemates, well I guess my being able to get into some of my old jeans and blouses without them bursting to the seams means something, huh? So I take a photo of myself whenever I see my collar bone (gotta love Mac’s Photo Booth application) because I so missed seeing them!

Me before and a couple of photos with my collar bones visible! yey!

See? That’s a progression right there! Can you see? Can you see?

I’m telling you, starvation diet, where you look at various good-looking and scrumptious food so you’d be full, really, really works. Of course, you should add some exercise, think about doing exercises like sit ups, and running and some stretches, works like a charm! I wonder if my carrying the mac every other day from and to work helped as well?… Nah, that’s physical exercise, it can’t work (hehe).

Since last month, I realized that I will never be thin enough unless I move out of the house. My mom is so caring that she won’t let me skip meals and she’s such a good cook I can’t help but have second servings of the food she cooks. :(

Last month, I vowed to myself that I will not buy anything new unless I got thinner so yesterday, I stopped being lazy and bought myself 2 new shoes and 2 new blouses all for the price of PhP 900! I love being cheap. And I love my new shoes! :D I would’ve bought more if I have extra cash left and if they have size 5 of my desired shoes, these are the times why I don’t like to have small feet. But no matter, I’ll just go back to my father’s branch probably next month hehe. He promised that he’ll get the high cut version of the pink with patterns sneakers that I pointed to him so I could buy it, I can’t wait! I miss wearing rubber shoes.

I’m slowly trying to be a little more “girly” and look a little less like I’m someone who my mom asked to buy something from the market but thought of going to Makati instead. It isn’t easy though, I’m not that girly and I’m not comfortable buying clothes and shoes because, I don’t know, I’m picky and I don’t want to spend hundred pesoses for a piece of cloth.

I think I’m doing good in this little experiment and “transformation”, I’ll have my hair fixed next, whenever that is.

    i soo feel you! i always have trouble with size five feet. :( a perfect fit is so hard to find that most of the time i settle for size six, which is already too loose for me.

    anyway, congrats on losing weight! i see the collarbone. ;)

    Kamusta Ka! (That is about the extent of my Tagalog, my Mama was not able to teach me much growing up - she was a little distracted with learning English)

    You definitely are showing a weight loss, congrats! Just be sure to eat, the starvation diet works until you eat again, then it all comes back on. I just eat smaller portions of what I like, it works initially, then comes exercise. Ew.
