Determination and will-power

So many people have noticed my weight loss. And some of them are curious how I shed off those pounds. Some even asked me if I used a weight loss product.

Actually I have been documenting my weight loss project in my other blog. All the gory details are there. Or maybe not :)

It's been three months or so when I became serious with my weight loss project. Of course prior to that, I have been on "diet" but I always slip.

Three months of practicing will-power over food and exercising has made me lose over 20lbs.

It wasn't easy. There were days when I wanted to pig out. Believe me, I caved in one or two times, maybe even more. After all I am just human.

But once you start losing weight, you become inspired and determined to lose more. I only have to look at my picture when I was at my heaviest and it would drive me to exercise more.

I believe I was at my heaviest here. This photo was taken at Holiday Inn Penang last July. I was probably around 170lbs here.

Photo taken last Sunday. I am now 140lbs. Since I have started taking my weight seriously I have lost a total of 25lbs, 4 inches and I am now two sizes down.

At the moment, I am very happy with the way things are. But I am still working to lose 5-10lbs, if I can.

Hopefully I won't be careless anymore. Health is wealth after all.
