You know you need to lose some weight when suddenly your jeans won’t zip up no matter how much you try. I was surprised when one fine afternoon, I had trouble fitting in my jeans - and they weren’t even the pair I had back when I was slimmer. My thighs have indeed grown larger. I know it’s supposed to bring me good news, but then I remembered how I haven’t been taking the weight-gain supplements for a couple of months now. It then only means one thing: I’m in auto-pilot mode. I now gain weight without the help of food supplements. Although gaining weight has been my goal since time immemorial, I don’t want to end up weighing more than I’m supposed to weigh. No. I don’t want to end up having big and flabby arms. That’s just scary, considering how stick-thin I used to be. And so, I’m back again to my weight loss regimen: keeping fit while having fun. I recently just signed up for another 15-session pilates workout and in fact, just got back from playing badminton with my roommate and Jessa. We realized how ironic it is to be future caretakers of health when we don’t exactly live a very healthy lifestyle ourselves. From now on, we’ll make sure we do something else other than reading books and making patient papers and being physically active tops that list. So who’s afraid of wearing a bikini next summer? I know I ain’t.

Funny how I really had to document this! =P Mela in green, Jessa in blue.
