And so the Journey Begins....

 As I look at my old pictures, I can't help but wonder why have I allowed my self gain this much weight. I have accepted the fact that my current weight and BMI officially make me Obese. But do I need to embrace that "fact" my entire life?

Don't get me wrong, I do not hate being Fat. As a matter of fact I even joke about it when people tease me about my weight. I would like to think my fats are just in the right place. But there are also times that I get offended specially when someone asks me what have I done to myself? So I ask myself - What have I done? These came up:

I have a lot of Excuses 

Excuse#1: My husband loves me "Just the Way I Am" and "Accepts me Flaws and All" so why bother? (Yup, just like the song!)

Excuse#2: It runs in the family - Blame the genes! (Woohoo! Science!)

Excuse#3: I just gave birth (yeah right, 1 1/2 years ago!)

Excuse#4: I'm busy at work (Best excuse ever!)

I don't have Discipline

Point#1: When extremely hungry, I can eat like a Truck Driver!

Point#2: When stressed, I can eat like a Truck Driver!

Point#3: When depressed, I can eat like a Truck Driver!

I am not Active

Example#1: Most of my hobbies don't require much movement. (Cooking, reading, watching movies..duh?)

Example#2: I don't have a Sport. (Chess? hahaha)

Example#3: I'm a hermit. I can survive staying inside my flat the whole day without doing anything (proven and tested!)

I did go to the gym these past few months but with these 3 Factors, It didn't help me much. Again, I would like to reiterate that I do not hate being Fat. I am just concerned on how my being Fat can affect my health, well-being and self-confidence.

So here I am, promising myself that I will have no more excuses, be disciplined and going to be active. It's definitely going to be a struggle but I'll try my best to succeed. I am alone, working abroad, away from my family - I have to be healthy. I want to be healthy for my children, I want to look great for my husband. Most specially, I need to do this for myself.

Let me know your thoughts or maybe tips on how can this journey be successful. 

Wish me Luck!!!
