If I could play out the conversation that is going on in my head today, this is probably what it would sound like: Dear Sweet Stuff, You don’t know how badly I want you today…I need you to make me feel better. It doesn’t really matter if you’re ice cream or a cupcake, chocolatey or [...]

I am so filled with gratitude that I find myself at a loss for words to express how thankful I am to everyone who nominated and voted for the Fat Girl No More in the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2010 Writing Project. I guess there’s really no better words to say it but [...]
Like many people who struggle with weight, I often have wondered how to lose weight fast. However, since I started this journey, I realized that the answer is that there is really no way to lose weight fast and for good. While supplements, workouts and treatments can indeed prep you up for a special event [...]
In as much as I know that time flies, sometimes I find myself amazed at how quickly it really does so. I can barely wrap my head around the idea that tomorrow is already the 15th of September! It got me to thinking about how this whole diet journey began and about the progress I [...]

When I look at my old pictures, I am consumed by mixed emotions: sadness, guilt, regret, shame….and I think, what did I do? As if I didn’t already know it on [...]
Growing up I was always told to finish my food. Being the obedient girl that I am, I always did. In fact, I even often ended up eating my sisters leftovers, as well as my moms because I believed that it was a “sin” to leave food on one’s plate. I held on to that [...]
A few months ago, I was able to go check out the Nurture Spa Village in Tagaytay City and my golly, I fell in love with it! It is such a serene and beautiful corner of the world and being in such a place is truly nurturing to the mind, body and spirit. The Spa [...]
I finally found the perfect workout for me!!! Okay, okay, besides swimming that is. I’ve always said I’m not the running type of girl and no matter how much I would try to will myself to run (or even jog) it wasn’t really an option for me, so I’ve really been trying to find a [...]
