Even before the Christmas season began, I have gained quite an amount of flesh. Not that I'm really horrendously looking but hey, I've managed to be "underweight for my motherly age and frame" of which my doctor has strongly scolded me for. Explaining that my obsession on being thin is wrong. Me being prescribed appetite stimulants is definitely alarming. Though honestly, I wasn't really concerned with it. I just thought I looked fine and happily FIT size 36 clothes, weighing 56 kgs and getting praises from people. So I ignored the seldom (becoming often) dizziness. You'd see my past posts with me all over and looking okay. Twas because I was still fine...except the negativity around me.
End 2006 til Q3 2007 it was alright until I started psyching myself to lose more. Guilty of typical human thinking and discontent. But as true as what my mother told me long time ago, the body CAN ONLY take as much (abuse) as it can, then it'll decide when to give up. And yes, it did....(back to first paragraph)
"Practice what you preach." ahhh, the famous quote. I'm supposed to know how CRASH dieting can be damaging to one's body. How healthier it is to lose slowly but surely---I used to scold people for not doing so?! I was a fitness trainer wasn't I? bad, bad me.
I don't fit a size 36 now, but I fit a 38-40. I think I'm fine with that temporarily and let's see how I progress after this feasting season. At least I'm not having dizzy spells and feelings of blackout.
There are reasons of why such stages in life happen. You go through it and live it. Either succumb to or overcome it. Then begin again...It's probably the circle of life I have to live.

you look fine! after 3 children j, being voluptuous is an asset!
pautang ha ha
tayo lang namang mga Pilipino ang masyadong concious sa weight issues. i can't remember how many time i've been called "fat" by some pinays na walang etiketa. hindi nga ba't kadalasang unang bati eh "tumataba ka yata"...kainis huh? Anyway, I'd rather be "malaman" kesa naman mukhang "dry" sa sobrang kapayatan. I'm thankful na we have the opportunity to eat 3+ times a day...sa dami ba naman ng nagugutom sa mundo.
i read an article to day in the net, a womand died bec of dieting. she drank three liters of water every two hours, it drowned her brain with water, ayun pumutok.
importante eh, malinis ang ating konsensiya, our inner peace dealing with life.
physical beauty lang yan. it adds spice to life, but not all impt.

Looking good is secondary to being healthy. Keep in mind that we're now in the age wherein we have to be more health conscious.
Ouch! did I just admit we're deteriorating? :0
