Dieting is depressing

'Diet', at some points of my life, had been the most underused word in my vocabulary. That was the time i could bolt chocolate,chips,cookies,cakes..all sorts of snacks ravenously without the slightest hint of guilt. My dieting friends envied me for being able to enjoy food n yet the body nv sufferred the consequences. Aww...how i miss those days...i miss looking at my own reflection in the mirror with pleasure..i miss gnawing kit kat bars btw meals and snacking pringles while watching telly...i miss the feeling of being the role model among my dieting friends...i miss so many things i used to have but now they r all vanished and i wonder if i'll ever have them all back again. Is it becoz i'm old now?metabolic rate drops?hormone level is different?British food is more fattening?less exercise?? i've tried anything i cud to lose weight but none of them seems to work. I ever tried apple diet ( 3 days of apples, nothing else) but ended up feeling weak n sick so i gav up...i ever tried working out in the gym 5 days a week for half a yr but the result wasnt satisfying as i looked built with the muscles and my weight din change....then i swtiched to low carb diet, followed by low fat n high fibre diet..still,my weight din dip down and wat's worse was i got bowel bloatedness after high fibre meal. My latest diet plan is to cut down calorie intake by restristing it to 1000cal a day.Yes..1000 cal!!If u r aware of the calorie content of each food u'll have an idea how little i eat to keep to the limit. Even a piece of reduced fat biscuit is 44 cal!!! I myself was skeptical when i was counting the calories. All the food labels reading n reduced fat food hunting make me spend 20 min more than usual in Sainsbury's. And, everytime i nearly reach the snacks department, i hav to make the effort to divert jz to avoid the temptations.Torturing!!!I wish i cud be a little less care abt my weight so dat i wudnt be eaten up by the tot of 'DIET' and indulged myself in the food i love. But, the question is can i not care?..guess i'll only stop dieting when i hav the answer.

My new favourite..Look, it has all the criteria dieters ask for - Light+Reduced Calorie+Low in Saturated Fat+Unsweetened :):)


Me n helen both got addicted to Rich Tea..seems like this is the only choice of biscuits for dieters wic explains why we love it so much



Starbucks coffee is fattening so i switched to sugar-free options...Mark "SV" on the cup - stands for sugar-free vanila syrup :P

Back to life

At last, this blog is revived with updates after 3 months 4 days. Yea..been soaking feet so happily that i forgot abt my blog entirely. So what hav i been up to for the past 3 months?? had BDS part 2 in Nov so i had been burying myself in HHD,PRD n HSME after having slobbed around for the entire 2nd yr..then two weeks b4 exams, me n Helen discussed past yr papers in the kitchen wic reminded me so much of IRP back in kmb.i was grateful dat our hard works were paid off with good results although the last paper gav us ( except those brainy n super duper prepared ppl like u-know-who) a heart attack. Life was back to normal after exams - online 24/7, watch series ( hooked up with Grey's Anatomy n finished 4 seasons in 6 days), window shop coz no money, starbucks (thanx to FAMA). Money was draining like greased lightning and the ski trip n venice trip put me thru a desperate financial crisis. Luckily frens were very understanding n allowed me to pay back once jpa banks in..or else, i wud hav to gadai my laptop n mobile to make up the money. No wonder ppl say we only know who our frens are in times of trouble.
