I have read almost all articles about losing weight and I seem not to lose weight succesfully. I tried starvation diet, after 6 diet and no carbo diet.  Ending is I'm still fat. My mom would say that I am not fat. Well, she is my mom, I know she is lying and moms will always be moms, always loving and accepting their children no matter what they look like.

I said my mom was lying because I'm having hard time breathing when I'm taking the stairs, and when there are clothes in the mall that I see, I thought they would fit in me but when I go to the fitting room already, tadah!!I would tell myself, you're daydreaming again, you're not thin, you're fat.

Well, to be honest, I didn't get really thin but I am happy with the result. From 135 lbs to 120 lbs.  You know what I did? Here are the things that I did:

1.  I refrain from drinking caffeinated drinks, such as soda, coffee and alcoholic beverages is not a problem since I don't really drink alcohol.

2.  I lessen my carbohydrate intake.  I only eat rice once a day. As much as possible,  don't eat bread and biscuits. I also avoided eating fastfoods. Those french fries and icecream, though they were 2 of my comfort foods, I didn't really eat them.

3.  Drink lots of water. Good timing in drinking water is required.  Every morning when I wake up, I take 2 or 3 glasses of water. That is to activate your body organs from long hours of sleeping. I also drink 2 glasses of water before I eat, 30 mins or an hour.

4. Move always.  Since I don't have time to go to the gym because I'd look like a zombie if I'll go there, coming from a night shift job, what I did was everytime I'm in the office or even just watching TV at home, I move a lot.  I hug myself, I stretch, I would do sit ups etc. And instead of riding a tricycle going home, I will just walk.  That is at least 10 minute walk. It helps coz I would do it everyday going to the office.

5.  Lastly, I did it not for other people but for myself,  I want to feel good. I want to be healthy.  I have noticed that thin people are more likely to live longer compared to overweight people.  I want to see my nieces playing and I want to be able to bring them to our favorite restaurant.  Seeing them happy makes me happy too.

I hope this blog of mine will inspire you.  Lose weight NOW.
