I so wish I can get away for the weekend. No, I don’t need anything fancy,  I don’t need those lush hotel beds with posh yves delorme beddings with mints in my pillows, I just need a quiet, comfortable place where I can just breathe…and just be…and quiet the thoughts in my head. Maybe then [...]

I wrote about the Flow Surf Yoga Samba retreats some time ago and they’re having another one this November…and still I cannot go!!!! Arrrgh!!! I’m sure it will be an exciting weekend and that I would love it more than anything (well, except for the dancing part perhaps haha!) so I am hoping that someday [...]

Liposuction is a Cure for Obesity Liposuction cannot cure obesity and cannot be used to remove very large amounts of fat from all over the body. It is only used to remove stubborn areas of fatty deposits that have not responded to diet or exercise. Fat cells that have been removed by liposuction will not [...]

I have said this time and again: I would probably not survive life in a country where there is winter. Seriously. I do not think my body can accommodate such extreme temperature. More so, I do not think my soul will make it through those cold, cold winters. And yes, being the emotional eater that [...]

Well, well, well….I finally got the chance to try out lipo. Well, laser lipo that is I had a 50 minute abdominal treatment, and a 40 minute arm treatment. I have long wanted to do that, in fact, even before I started blogging about my weight loss. I remember one time my doctor suggested I [...]

Sigh. Then again it probably was a good thing that I missed the big three day weekend Forever 21 sale. I did try to go (I need new yoga gear and some cupless bras for when I practice…excuses excuses haha) but traffic was IMPOSSIBLE! Seriously. It took over an hour to get to Pioneer from [...]

Several weeks ago I had dinner out with some of my friends and they were talking about some lipo cavitation/lipo dissolving procedure they had read about from one of those group coupon sites.  They said it was something like RF treatments that used heat and radio frequencies to melt fat cells. I have always maintained [...]

Speaking of challenges in weight loss…I can feel one coming right up…the Starbucks red cups! Yiiiiikes!!!! In less than a month I’m sure Starbucks will be revealing it’s next planner promo and along with it, the return of my all-time favorite drink from Starbucks…the Peppermint Mocha Frap! While filling up that reward card for the [...]

I guess I celebrated a little too early Wasn’t it just the end of September that I was celebrating my little victory of having broken through the plateau of my weight loss? But things happened and suffice it to say that the emotional eater in me resurfaced and well, I have to say it shows [...]
