Becoming a loser again :)
This is my first journal entry here. The weigh in is from last week, when I made the decision to begin my journey. Sadly, I've done this many times before, sometimes even successfully, but always gained the weight back eventually. This time I'm going to get the help and support I need to maintain my goal weight, when I reach it. This yoyo thing isn't healthy.
It's not the looks - losing weight will not make me that beautiful - but health. My family is very familiar with diabetes (both types I and II) and heart conditions, and I'm trying to prevent these. I had my total cholesterol taken yesterday. It was 5.4 mmol/L, a little bit up from what it should be.
I'm going to do this slowly. I'm not on any specific diet program. I just try to make healthy choices in everyday life. I have to say I don't excercise; I really don't have time or energy right now. I try to take a walk every day and would like to go to swim or play badminton, at least occasionally if not regularly. We'll see.
I made a decision not to visit my scale before Feb, as I tend to get obsessed to the numbers. I've been doing fairly good, and I hope it's enough. My mini goal is to lose 4 kgs (8.8 lbs) before my birthday, but I'll be happy even if I lose less than that. Even a small amount of weight loss brings better health.
