Women who can easily assume to their normal svelte figures after childbirth
will never cease to amaze me. Before I turned into what I am today, I was a slim person with an average weight of 45kg. With a height of 5ft tall, I was considered as petite. That was the weight before I had children. Even if I overeat, my weight would still maintain or at least increase 2-3 kgs the most. It has never reached the 50kg mark. When I feel like bloating I would go on a diet for two consecutive weeks and my weight would drop back to normal. It helps too that I was also active in aerobics and other fitness regime that would speed up the lose weight process very fast. It has been that way for such a long time ever since I was anak dara right till I got married.

Even simple and easy workouts that can be done in the comfort of my home couldn't make me move butt. I couldn't care less about my appearance too. Tending a baby itself coupled with the household chores were already a full time workout for me. And yes, I had a dinosaur appetite too!
Years went on until I had my third baby that it suddenly dawned on me that I had become JenniferHudson! Whilst Jennifer had all the excess flesh strategically placed in all the right spot - mine didn't. In other words, the bottom half is bigger (and wider) than the top half .... sheesh!
I used to wear a size S but now its always XL or XXL! My weight had exceeded the 50kg mark a very LONGGGG time ago and now it has tripled. At the time I'm writing this my weight had touched 67kg mark on the scale! Either the scale had been faulty or I'm in denial mode, whichever way it is - I am officially overweight!
Because of extreme laziness to exercise I had resorted to shortcuts which gave immediate results in minimum time but deadly in the long run. How many of us had taken those slimming drinks/herbs/pills which proclaim to lose weight in shorter period of time? And also those slimming lotions' claims that can diminish orange peel or cellulite on every nook and corner of our skin? I had tried and tested some of these products. Yes, some of them certainly gave excellent results but I'm also concerned of its side effects in the long term. Will it damage my kidney or liver if I took it longer than I'm supposed to? These uncertainties had made me stop taking consummable slimming drinks/herbs but I still continue the slimming lotions once in a while.
For now, its aerobics (held FOC) once a week every weekend and also brisk walking when I have the opportune time. I try to eat sensibly, drink lots of water and cut down on rice portion. It used to be one whole plate but now half of it. I don't skip meals. That's a big no no! Skipping meals tend to make you go extra hungry and therefore have larger meals to compensate the skipped meals. But I tend to break my own rules sometimes when the side dishes accompanying the rice are so deliciously tempting especially when its cooked kampung style ..... hmmm!
Yeah, it will definitely take longer time to see the results but as pepatah melayu once said - sikit sikit lama lama jadi bukit but in my case it should be amended as sikit sikit lama lama jadi plywood ... ahaks!
