I had been talking about this for so many times and so frequently that I even get sick of hearing it from my own mouth. All I did was talk the talk and not walk the talk. I had to seriously do it this time. I had achieved a couple of things recently and is smiling secretly to myself. Those who knew me well may have heard me mention a few of what I had managed. Ok, now the biggest challenge ever, my weight. I had always been the plump one in the family. Always being tease and make fun of. A period of my life, I had fought it and succeeded. I had friends who are amazed and disbelief the photos I had shown them of myself when I was slimmest at 58Kg. This weight looks quite unattainable at this moment but I at least need to drop some little by little. 
Today I declared WAR against my weight.
What had make me wanted so much to lose those flabs.
- I couldn’t get the prettier Ao Dai when I was in Saigon. The Vietnamese were so tiny. I had to buy 1 that is least favorite but available in my size.
- I chance upon a very pretty Cheongsam with modern element in a body hugging satin material that I fitted but look horrendous on me.
- Time to be very careful of my health. Can’t be too complacent and assume I won’t get sick because I am overweight.
- Sick of getting those dirty looks from people when they see my sisters and I.
- Hate those loud mouth aunties commenting that I am so fat and that my mum had been feeding me well. (I wonder old ladies their age, do they have any manners at all?!?!)
- I no longer can go to the beach in my bikini. I don’t even want to go to the public pool in my swim suit!
- I look 10 years older at this weight!!!! Totally hate it!
- Fat people sweat more!
- Because I am vain and I wanna look good
- I realised clothes that fit me are'nt flattering at all. I can't get nice clothes my size.
- Pam… I cannot do as much as you but at least I need to get some flabs off me. (Pam you going down to reason 11 but you are still one motivation)
I realised I don;t take that many pictures of myself, maybe I'm fat so I hate taking photos. I found this pix which is a slimmer me! Still look so plumpy. I can't fit in this dress currently. will post a current me once I get it uploaded. Most likely will be one form recent Vietnam trip.

:) Why is it I'm in your reason No.10? And WHY CAN'T YOU DO AS MUCH IF NOT MORE than what I have done?
The numbers are nothing. If you can do 2kg. You can do 5kg. And if you can do 5kg, there's nothing stopping you from doing 10-20-30kg.
Numbers are nothing.. you just have to decide and just get started. You don't even need to look at the numbers as long you JUST START!
Good Luck :)
You are reason #10 beacuse I had seen many girls who are your size(prev) that have given up and just continue to be that size. I can become 100kg if I coninue to live in current sedentary life style. I am not trying to be too ambitious as I had 2 major op in the past and had really bad gastric problem. That means, no starving and no strenous exercise. I will work on the elliptical machine. I admire your determination gal.
Thats where people have the wrong misconception. People think having a lifestyle change means you have to starve.
You should see the amounts I eat on a daily basis, it might even be double of what you see a regular person takes. Its all about your food choices. And to us, not about the quantity.
After all, after a while, there is really SO MUCH you can stomach before wanting to throw up.
And even doing walks, working on the elliptical, swimming or dancing, its not necessarily how HARD *but it helps* you do it but how consistent you do it.
Its wayyy more beneficial for you to do that elliptical for 1 hour every other day than to plan to do it for 2 days a week.
