Remember Project Prettify Me? I’m glad to say it’s become almost an instinctual part of my day now. It’s like a habit already so I don’t really need to think too much about it. Although, yes, compared to other girls who are more conscious and spend lots of time attending to their make up and [...]

To my dear readers, Thank you for always dropping by to read about my progress and journey through this weight loss battle.

I am grateful I live in a highly technological world. Be it in my diet journey, or in my job as a teacher, I find that having access to all sorts of sites resources that can help me in so many ways. For example, there are lots of online fora that help support fellow dieters. [...]

For the past few weeks, my goal was to lose weight. However, the motivation was to be thin again. As such, I have been trying to make myself miserable by withholding anything that is good (a.k.a. fattening or indulgent).
