New Blog

I've shifted my blog to wordpress: http://theskinnycolumn.wordpress.com/

I won't be shifting this blog from here... that one's like a 'fresh' start. Cheers!

Changes

Alright, before I start this post, I’d like to remind anyone reading this blog that this is not a pro-ana blog. Never have I claimed to have an ED… I feel for those suffering from one and can’t even begin to imagine what they are going through. If you’re looking for an ‘Ana Buddy’, I’m sorry, I really am not the person.

Having said that, I’m not supremely stoked with the way my weight loss has been going. I lost a little weight since the last time I wrote (thanks to a wonderful 2 weeks in Paris – which I will blog about later) but I put on about 5lbs right before the trip. I call this ‘complacency weight’. You know when everyone’s been commending you on your weight loss and everywhere you go, you only hear, “Wow! You look fantastic!” etc. etc.? That’s when you take a bite of that yummy chocolate cake at the party thinking, “Oh well, I deserve this. I have worked so hard. And I look so fab!”

Then that one slice of chocolate cake turns to an after-lunch dessert or an extra serving during dinner. And before you know it, your favourite pair of jeans begin feeling slightly snug… You think, “Oh, I’ll work out from tomorrow. I’ve come this far. One or two pounds will be a breeze.” But it doesn’t stop there and bam! You’ve gained 5lbs – maybe even more – before you can say “Pudding!” :P

Been there, done that – times a million.

But this time, it’s different. How, you ask? I look different. I feel different. I am different.

Happy New Year!
