Lu Slim La Beb !!

I'm not fat, I'm just a little overweight
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not fat, I'm just a little overweight
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be... me!

Well, I modified the lyrics from Unwell by Matchbox 20 a couple of years ago. A way to self motivate? Well, you can say that. But it was just for a laugh actually.

As usual today, i came back from class and turned on my computer. I logged in to my first email. Opened my new messages, and logged out to log into my second account. If you're an MSN Hotmail user, I'm sure you know that when you log out of your account you'll be directed straight to the msn.com page. And usually they have a few headlines of articles that keep on changing from one to another. As i was about to click on the log in link, a title caught my eye. Fat!So? Well, of course i was dying (well maybe not) to know what it's all about. So I clicked on the title, and was directed to the article. I couldn't help myself from laughing and sighing at the same time. In the US there're associations, health departments and programmes that fight the problems of the growing number of overweight and diabetic people. But that was not what the article was all about. It's about a few associations who are actually trying to raise the self esteem of overweight people by saying ; there's nothing wrong being fat. There's actually a book that came out with the title Fat!So? (i was thinking of buying it online, but i rather not). Fatso, is a name that is given to those who are, well, Fat. It's mean. It's just mean to call people fatso. So the title Fat!So? is actually a jeu de mots (playing with words). Yeah I'm Fat! So? is basically what it means.

Well I know I'm fat. Wait! No. I'm overweight. It sounds milder. And I'm doing everything I can to reduce my weight right now. Cut on sugar, cut on oil, cut on meat, cut on bread and cut on almost everything else. But sometimes, when you cut out too much, you'll feel like you're missing something, feeling something's lost, and so you try to retrieve what is lost. That's the dangerous part. Meaning you'll eat as usual again. If you don't realise it soon enough, you'll ended putting on weight instead of loosing them actually. Err... Well look who's giving advice on dieting eh?

I've lost 17 kgs last year. So I'm targeting to lose at least the same amount this year. Apalagi, support aa. Kimi! Kimi! Kimi!
