My Weight Loss Journey

It has been a while since I have updated my weight loss journey. I have been wanting to loose weight. Not that I am too vain, it’s not because my husband will be arriving for his one month vacation but because of health reasons. I have been battling with high cholesterol and high blood pressure for almost 5 years now since I gave birth to my bunso. My doctor frequently advises me to diet, diet, and diet. I am very guilty of procrastination….I only took my diet routine seriously when I am not feeling well. And everytime that I am back to my old healthy me, I will continue to slack…(*guilty*, *rant*)

I tried the Morning Banana Diet (see my inputs here and here) but unfortunately I am not the chosen few, who finds it to be effective.

I am very, very thin and I look so anorexic when I was in high-school, while in college, I find it to be my ideal figure. But when I gave birth to my second child, that is when my weight problems started. The biggest that I have been is 140 lbs at 5’3″ in height.

I find it hard to diet since my officemates who are always with my company are really fond of eating. While at home, I would always have a full meal since my office is far from our home (Caloocan-Monumento to C5-Pasig)…the travel time really drains me and made me hungry.

Just last month, I encouraged my dear officemates to lose weight; I even brought a weighing scale in our office and recorded our weight for monitoring purposes. We have been conscious and cautious since then. I lose 2 lbs for 2 weeks (138 lbs now) now because of diet and reduce food intake. I still feel that it is a slow development and yoyo effect. I know that I can still do well in losing more. Hayyyyyyyyy, if only I can let go of procrastination, excuses, excuses and lack of discipline.

Because of my medical condition, I still opt for the most natural way of reducing and that is beng on diet. But my doctor advised me that if my cholesterol and high blood pressure became more intense due of my weight problem, they might opt to give me weight loss pills, but I feel that it will be my last recourse.

So God please give me the discipline and guidance to get by. I really need to lose weight….It is not a “want” it is a “need”. I want to live longer for my hubby and kids, for my precious family.
