It’s been a while since my secret fears came to haunt me and suddenly today, I find it staring me in the face. Perhaps this is where my cupcake craving earlier this afternoon came from, or perhaps where the restless energy from yesterday was coming from. Yes, despite me being glued to my bed because [...]

A few weeks ago (or was it months?), I decided to set some tangible goals for myself in this weight loss journey. Granted that rewards came with the package, goal setting allowed me to have a more realistic and attainable output for my hard work. Presently, I am working my way to step 2 of [...]
In as much as I think I am gaining control over that emotional eater inside of me, every once in a while she rears her ugly head, just like today. I can hear her telling me “okay lang yan, you were sick naman yesterday…this will make you feel better“…and part of me just wants to [...]
I almost burst out laughing when someone at the clinic said that to me a few days ago. I never really thought of myself as one to “glow” but I realized when I looked at the mirror that I do have a different kind of glow to myself now, and it’s not just the makeup. [...]

I would like to believe that my progress in this weight loss journey of mine is starting to be noticeable. While I may still be on the heavy side, I think I do see a lot of positive changes in the way I look, and it’s not merely because of my Project Prettify Me. Yesterday, [...]
Today, just for kicks, I decided to try on my old pair of jeans. And wouldn’t you know….it fit! Woot! I haven’t worn jeans in like, forever, mainly because when you get to be my size, it kinda gets embarrassing to even try on jeans in a store, much less find one that fits. Another [...]
