For the past few days, I had a really intense burger craving. I happen to love burgers a lot, but I know that they’re not very healthy, nor can they be considered diet food. I was able to resist for a few days but yesterday, while waiting for a movie, I found myself wanting one [...]

As I continue down this journey to better health, I am often reminded that more than being slim and sexy, my goal should be to be healthy and fit. I catch myself often skipping meals and depriving myself to the point that I get woozy then before I know it, I am binging because of [...]

Over the past few months, my blogger friends talked a lot about one of their new favorite drink places, Serenitea. I would read their raves and their cravings for it but because the only branch I was aware of back then was all the way in San Juan (a good 30-45 minutes away from my [...]

Today my pants went rrriiiiiiiippp. Pathetic. Huhuhu. Since I’ve gained the weight back, I have broken about 6 pairs of pants. It doesn’t really rip at the seas because the pants technically fit me, but it kinda rips on the inner thigh area, most likely due to friction. Dang it, I need new pants again. [...]

Day by day, I am starting to feel the consequences of being obese. Right now, there is this pain at the back of my leg, kinda like a cramp, that wasn’t there before. It kinda feels tight and throbby. I know the strain of carrying extra weight is causing that. Also, today as I sat [...]
