271: Happy New Year!

It's 2025!

Memang la setahun satu post aje. 

On 1st Jan 2024 I started my weight loss journey. Masa tu memang determined, okay, 1 Jan start! Target masa tu was normal BMI. Mind you, I never had a normal BMI since my teenage years. So it would be a challenge for me. I was thinking there was no better time to start, because my 2 year old had weaned off and I didn't have any plan to expand the family more in the near future!. 2024 was a year to divert my focus to myself more.

So I started. Early weeks was quite okay. I was discipline, lazy keto regime. The first 5 kgs was quite easy. Then after 2 months things been difficult. But I was still determined. If I cheated, I started again. I said to myself I would never give up on myself.

I realized I lack self-control. Woman is emotional being. We eat not just because we are hungry, but it fills our emotional needs. We eat not only because the food nourish us, but we want to experience the taste, the dopamine release by consuming all the foods. So I was battling with my emotions most of the time. But I tried to not be harsh to myself. When I swayed, I went back to the path again. Again and again, and again. I pledged not to give up on myself.

So, one year on, the net weight loss is 10 kg. It wasn't much, but it's a progress. I saw progress, though slowwww. I saw result, though still far from my initial target.

We are starting again, today!!

It's 1 January 2025. So we are targeting another 10 kg. Go me!
