A New Me

Yesterday I wore a tube top of a freaking daring colour which I usually will NEVER wear, to work. However, apart from the daring colour, what really shocked me was the way I looked after I snapped this camwhore shot...

My whole body is more toned now with less fats on my waist and arms! Not only that, my face looks less chubby now. And..l really think I look pretty nice with this tube top. :D

Most of my friends knew that I have been applying low-calorie intake in my eating habits since April. Although I did not intend to have major weight loss, I wanted to slim down eventually with the new eating habit (not so new now!). Just so you know, low-calorie diet does not make you lose weight fast compared to low-carb diet, but gradually. During the 1st 3 months, I'd seen drops in my weight of up to 3kg and I felt so ecstatic! Most who saw me could see I'd shedd a fair share of weight. However, my aim was to lose 7kg in 8 months with this diet.

Now, 6 months later, my weight did not drop any further apart from the 3kg I lost. The funny thing is, everyone who sees me now think I've lost more than 3kg. I'm still watching my eating habit with low-calorie intake but the weight itself just won't go down. How funny to hear comments from others who commented I look like I've lost like 5kg! After some talks with my friend, she deduced I must have lost my fats instead of weight and gotten rid of water retention within my body (I had quite serious water retention issue). From the way it seems, I am toning my body rather than slimming down. Well, I guess it's true. :D

I do not reckon I'll ever stop this diet (I'm not even considering it as a diet) as it has already become part of my eating lifestyle. It may be a torture at times to calculate calories during meals but at least I do not need to compromise any type of food so long I ate them sparingly and wisely. I certainly hope to see further drop in terms of my weight but if not, at least I know I am keeping my body toned with body fats away from myself.

Speaking of which, this afternoon's lunch was such an overkill, I'm not so sure I won't get some weights back. However, it was our colleague's birthday so 1 day of indulgence should be alright yeah? Gotta make sure I do not over-indulge in future!

At this point of time, I'm pleased with progress of my 'weight loss' and I still hope I can reach my ideal weight sometime soon (No hurry!).
