weightloss struggles!


weight loss is one of those rare feats that proof hard to accomplish. I've been trying to lose weight since i hit 18. That's one of the few things I've managed to not achieve in 4 long years. the challenge here is not in finding the right weight loss program, the challenge is in sticking to it. I know exercise is the ultimate cure when accompanied with the right diet...i could write 10 books on all the methods one could use to lose weight. But obviously, having all that knowledge has been of no use to me. let me give you an idea of what my normal day is.

i wake up at about 10am ( i cant seem to sleep early, which might be one of the reasons I'm still overweight), lazy around the house or just lay in bed reading a book. i go to the uni when i want. not the most serious student in the world ( which is especially bad as I'm studying one of the hardest courses, mechatronics engineering, yeah i know, I'm surprised too). anyways, i manage to drag myself out of bed and go downstairs to get breakfast at about 12pm. go back to bed and stay there surfing the internet. after that i just eat apples all day or peanut butter sandwich ( based on availability) and then have dinner late at about 12am.. so in general, i'm living a very unhealthy life style. I'm the laziest person i know .

so now i've decided that its time i get a life. so I've started exercising ( 2days already). on the first day i took a 1.5 hour walk and the second day (today), i did a little bit of strength training. for a moment i thought i was going to pass out from exhaustion. i still cant figure out the diet thing yet. i know i need more lean protein as my basic meal involves noodles and eggs. I'm not a big eater but i know for sure that my inconsistent eating habits put my body in starvation mode.

so i'm hoping to clean up my act and with a bit of encouragement and less mockery from the people around me, I'll be on my way to a leaner, sexier me.

finally, i need to get rid of stress in my life with from my failed relationships and other numerous emotional craps. so wish me luck! I'll keep you posted on my progress and maybe later, i'll be qualified enough to give others advice. Stay with me people!!!!!!

OK, so now i weigh about 78kg and I'm trying to down-size to 64.9Kg ( my healthy weight as said by a doctor based on my height and age)...so if my maths is by anyway correct, that's about 15kg less of what i weigh now. i have so much work to do. so much to sacrifice and I'm not exactly sure if I'm willing to let my peanut butter sandwich and pizza go or my midnight snacking!! but i have to get this right. keep your fingers crossed! all words of encouragement are most welcome!

see ya in a bit!
