My family members have never been able to escape the common family feature - Obesity. We werent all born obese of course, but at different stages of our lives, we stabilise towards being very attractive - towards gravity.
Averaging between 80 - 110kg, thats about how stable our weights are. Well , all except for dearest Father.
We thought that I was the other exception too. I am indeed overweight, but it had always hovered around the lower range. In my teens it was 50s. By mid 20s it crept up to 60s. Now at 29 nearing 30, I am too scared to step on the weighing machine to confirm that I have reached a new high. Sigh ... .. talk about self deceit..
My wedding videos and photos are tainted with that huge ass and bulging stomach of mine. Any photo of me recently just arouse this god-how-much-can-PS-help-me feeling.
Ok, so why start a blog? Am I really on to doing something and make that final change?
This was initiated by my sisters, who, during Chinese New Year, pulled me aside and we had dialogue, something to the effect of
"Do you realised you are getting fatter and fatter?"
"Err.. ya... think a lot of people had already pointed it out... and?"
"Dont you intend to do something about it? Wont you do something??"
"Err... not that I do not want to ... it is not that easy .. you know.."
"We (my sisters) have decided, we cant carry on like this any longer. Lets do this together, we need to report to each other regularly to check we are doing something"
Then I thought of a blog. Something that allow us to monitor each other remotely. This does not ensure success, but, be it success or failure, the blog would (hopefully) be a good record of it. And my sisters' new found determination is definitely encouraging.. we have barely made the first step!!
As I created this blog, and licking my fingers after finishing a packet of MacDonald's Twister Fries, my husband's words are ringing somewhere pretty distant at the back of mind.. "sure this time can work or not.."
Stay tuned.. ;)
