			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">No, this is not about Transformers, Megan Fox or Optimus.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also not about the death of Michael Jackson that is about everyone&#8217;s topic&#8230; Although I am really sad and still not over his death. Black &amp; White will always be one of my favorites from him. There is so much media negativity surrounding him before and now <strong><a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com.my/index.php/showbiz/30806-im-better-off-dead--mj" target="_blank">all the truth are suddenly popping up</a> </strong>like mushroom after the rain.</p>
<p>Strongest of mind is pale against the ink. Whatever is in the print, will remain strong even after years compared to our faint memories. Get the facts right, this time.. :(</p>
<p>Okay, frustration aside&#8230;</p>
<p>Few month ago, I remember<a href="http://apple4today.com/a-few-days-after-a-year/" target="_blank"> blogging about fitting into a jeans</a> that has been abandon for nearly 4 years, well because I&#8217;ve grown, urm, vertically very much</p>
<p>On that matter, I believe it would have been a great moral boost to anyone, regardless male or female.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve been contemplating on whether to blog about this issue of me for awhile, mostly contributing to laziness.</p>
<p>A picture speaks a thousand words and in this case, it makes the point.</p>
<p>This is me, 2 years back, December 2007 taken in Birmingham. Already can see my face is so damn round.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1205" title="emirates" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/emirates.jpg" alt="emirates" width="288" height="384" /></p>
<p>Early January, in Venice. I am officially super fat at that time. All photos that I took, first thing to notice is my bulbous cheek. That was when Kokokrunch said my face can be use to draw a perfect circle..</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1211" title="p1180335" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p1180335.jpg" alt="p1180335" width="288" height="384" /></p>
<p>somehow like Doreamon. Okay, compared with current photos.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1205" title="emirates" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/emirates.jpg" alt="emirates" width="288" height="384" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1215" title="p12405461" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p12405461.jpg" alt="p12405461" width="288" height="384" /></p>
<p>Different much??</p>
<p>Early 2008, Dubai VS May 2009 Penang..</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1210" title="p1130503" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p1130503.jpg" alt="p1130503" width="288" height="384" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1206" title="img_0924" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_0924.jpg" alt="img_0924" width="256" height="384" /></p>
<p>Feb &#8217;08 vs Nov &#8217;09</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1213" title="p1190100" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p1190100.jpg" alt="p1190100" width="480" height="360" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1204" title="dsc00641" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc00641.jpg" alt="dsc00641" width="288" height="384" /></p>
<p>February was when I&#8217;m at the fattest/heaviest/swollen in my entire life.  The photo above was taken like 2-3 days once I&#8217;m back so thanks to the water retention I look like I&#8217;ll burst anytime soon. Painfully fat ! <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif' alt='o_o' class='wp-smiley' />   <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif' alt='T_T' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I <strong>gain</strong> <strong>9KG</strong> from my short stint in Europe. 9 kilograms. For my frame, 170cm, I was hugeeee&#8230; in Asia that is. I was slim in uk <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cry.gif' alt='T_T' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And then, i went to gym a little bit for 3 months before I started to work. Since then I haven&#8217;t really went to the gym anyway. My gym routine was usually 2-3 times a week, 20mins on jogging and a dance class. That&#8217;s all. Eventually I got lazy and stop going to gym..</p>
<p>I think the water retention eventually went away. July &#8217;08 Bangkok. Still chubby. At that point, I&#8217;ve already lost 4kg from the 9 I gained.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1209" title="p1050703" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p1050703.jpg" alt="p1050703" width="288" height="384" /></p>
<p>It was the Krabi trip that motivates me to lose weight all the excess weight. Me and Mr.SmallFace was like racing against each other to look<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> good</span> presentable in beach wear! Hence I did what everyone already know.At that time, it was November, so i had like 2 months.</p>
<p>There is no extreme diet, no exercise (for me), no personal trainer, <strong><em>no</em></strong> slimming center&#8230;no secret.</p>
<p>And since everyone I&#8217;ve seen for the past few month, even those I&#8217;ve haven&#8217;t seen but heard &#8220;rumours&#8221; asked how i lose all the weight&#8230;</p>
<p>Honestly, I am not sure how it happen. Really! But these are the changes I noticed I did..</p>
<ol>
<li>Cut down on fast foods. I think I only have McD like once a month now..?</li>
<li>Cut down on sweet stuff. Soft drinks especially. I suddenly developed a low tolerance on sugary stuff. So that really helps alot!</li>
<li>Alcohol and supper are noticeably absence from my life since December. Of course there are the occasional nights.</li>
<li>I still don&#8217;t go to gym or go running the neighborhood but I took up belly dancing classes with my bestie. But that&#8217;s like an hour a week.</li>
<li>A tip: Don&#8217;t choose where to eat. Because if we don&#8217;t choose it, probably we might not fancy it alot, hence, we will eat less! hahahahahah</li>
<li>Once your appetite is reduce, eventually you <strong>wont </strong>eat as much and continue to expand the stomach and eat more!</li>
<li>You know the time between 3pm-430pm in the office when you will be looking for food?? Don&#8217;t. Drink plain water instead. Its good for you.</li>
<li>Drink lots of plain water in beginning. I put a full bottle in front of me and make sure I finished them by 5pm. That surely helps to fill up the unnecessary cravings.</li>
<li>You are what you eat. Think before you put it into your mouth. Just be happy..</li>
<li>Get someone to go dine with you at all time preferably a male or big eater so you can dump at least 1/4 of your food to them. Not wasting food is good. In my case, MrSmallFace waistline is kinda increasing..hehehe</li>
</ol>
<p>The above is my personal observation and might be wrong/unhealthy in some eyes. I am still a gluttony at the end of the day. But I tend to eat less.Well, it works for me.</p>
<p>By end of February, I weight 15kg less than what I am a year ago. From uk Size 12 near 14, now I wear size 8. The photo is taken in Krabi Feb &#8217;09.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1208" title="img_7744" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_7744.jpg" alt="img_7744" width="288" height="432" /></p>
<p>I now weight lightest in 6-8 years!It all happens in a span of 2 months without me realizing.  <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif' alt='!!' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1207" title="img_0931" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_0931.jpg" alt="img_0931" width="480" height="320" /></p>
<p>It feels great and I intend to maintain my weight as long as I can.</p>
<p>Let this post serve as a reminder to me. From my darkest vanity moment to my glory now. Allow me to soak myself in it after the hardwork&#8230; <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt=':cool:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1213" title="p1190100" src="http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p1190100.jpg" alt="p1190100" width="480" height="360" /></p>
