Gemok Lepas Kahwin


Aku baru bertunang, dah macam-macam orang kata pasal pasca perkahwinan. Paling tak boleh blah, statement yang akan aku tepis dengan doa nauzubillah:
Lepas kahwin, gemok la ko kang~
Ceh! Tak supportive langsung!

Aku terfikir, semestinya ke lelaki yang sudah kahwin akan jadi gemuk? Seramai mana yang betul-betul jadi gemuk, ataupun sekurang-kurangnya jadi lebih berisi berbanding sebelum kahwin, dan seramai mana pula yang kekal dari segi fizikal?

Dan, yang makin kurus selepas kahwin? Ok, aku nak minta tips dan petua.

Persoalan yang paling penting, apakah punca yang menyebabkan hal ini berlaku? Ok, itu macam ayat dalam artikel surat khabar.

Aku rasa la kan, punca-punca di bawah mungkin antara yang menyebabkan hal yang demikian boleh berlaku.
  1. Apabila si suami sendiri berkata, "Aku dah laku. Tak payah jaga badan dah."
  2. Apabila si isteri berkata, "Sayang terima abang seadanya."
  3. Apabila si isteri menambah, "Takpe kalau Abang gemuk, Sayang tak risau Abang curang, sebab Abang dah tak laku bila gemok."
  4. Apabila pulang ke rumah, isteri sudah sediakan makanan. Tak makan, kang sentap. Tak makan, kang retak rumah tangga. Elok pulak dapat isteri yang memang pandai memasak. Oh tidak!
  5. Apabila pulang ke rumah ibu bapa sendiri, nak tak nak kena makan bersama isteri dan mak bapak. Kalau isteri je makan sorang-sorang dengan mak bapak kita, maunya dia tak segan? Mesti dia nak si suami makan sekali kan?
  6. Apabila pulang ke rumah mertua pula, berani la ko kalau nak tolak pelawaan mak bapak mertua bila masa makan. Maunya kena cop menantu antisocial.
  7. Apabila bersenam malam dengan isteri, diorang ingat itu dah cukup. Tak payah dah nak jogging, sit-up, dan buat latihan kardio segala.
Entah. Aku tulis ni pun dari perspektif orang yang baru bertunang. Aku berspekulasi je banyak kat atas tu. Entah betul, entah tidak.

Theoretically, maybe aku boleh bayangkan. Practically, tunggu je la masanya.

Aku tulis ni bukan apa tau. Nanti kalau betul la aku pun jadi gemok selepas kahwin, korang ada la point nak bagi kat aku:
Ko pandai je tulis kat blog, tapi tengok la ko sekarang. Gemok gak.

Lepas tu aku down.
Lepas down, aku off nasi 3 bulan semula (pastu kena maki hamun dengan, bukan sahaja mak abah aku, tapi mungkin mak ayah mertua. Isteri? Diam-diam. I nak kurus untuk siapa kalau bukan U jugak?) :P
Lepas tu kurus balik.
Kot.

Hidup umpama roda kata orang. Tapi kita sendiri lah yang kawal pusingan roda tu kan? Bukannya orang lain. Kita kawal, baru kemudian kita serahkan kepada Yang Di Atas untuk menentukan. Berusaha dulu, baru bertawakkal.

Ini tak,
Takpe la. Aku dah kahwin. Normal la tu badan naik.

Tapi, ada jugak yang fikir ke depan lagi sedikit, dan berkata,
Takpe la. Biar gemuk asal sihat.

Eh hello. Nak kena aku bersyarah ke? Tajuknya Kegemukan Meningkatkan Risiko Berpenyakit.

Pasal tu aku betul-betul nak jaga kesihatan. Sebab aku sayang tunang aku. Aku nak bahagia selama mungkin dengan dia, dan anak-anak insya Allah.

Lepas tu aku tanya diri sendiri: Zaki bila last time bersenam?

*Tampar pipi sendiri*

26.7


Height: 179cm. Pass!
Weight: 85.4kg. Ergh?!
BMI: 26.7!!! (optimum: 18.5 to 25)

What?!

I am overweight.

Take my food when you see I'm eating. I won't mind. You eat it on behalf of me.

He was right. He also was right. And I think he tried to convince me: Ala... tulang ko tu je yang berat~

I have Gray Hair


I started knowing that the gene of gray hair began to be expressed when I was in the early of primary school. Since that time, the gray hair started to grow more and more up to a point where you could see it easily when you get close next to me.

Now, gray hair is getting lesser.

Sometimes I regret pulling it out because the root of the hair is black although the rest of it is white.

Am I getting ‘normal’ again? Am I getting my black hair again?

Anyway, I can’t get rid of it since it’s biological. It’s in my gene. It’s inherited. It couldn’t be treated by any form of medication. In fact, it’s not a disease to be treated anyway. I cannot control the expression, when it’s time, it’s the time. I just live with it and I’m grateful to be able to live with it. It’s His gift. I can’t change it unless I do hair-coloring, which is basically not allowed in Islam.

But big thigh and tummy, I can change it. Exercise and controlled diet go go yey!

Words that Remind


He sat on the chair with eyes right to the dashboard of my study table.

I was on the bed, looking at him. He noticed it.

Eh, takpe ke aku baca mende ni?

Takpe. Memang aku tampal kat situ untuk orang baca pun.

Takde la. Mende ni kan macam private.

Pada aku tak private. Biar orang tahu sifat-sifat aku. Tolong ingatkan aku bila aku bersifat seperti yang di sebelah kanan kertas tu, ok?

The Change Series Continues...


Premise 1:

Situation: SMS

Eh, you balik bila?
Esok, pagi.
Sebelum you balik I nak bagi you something.
Apa dia?
Tunggu la esok.
Baek.

The next day, what I got was this thing.

Premise 2:

Situation: In the kitchen at home.

Mak, cuti ni Zaki tak mahu makan nasi ye?
Tak boleh. Penat-penat mak masak, ko plak tak nak makan. Kena makan nasi.
Ala... Nak diet la...
Makan nasi!
Baek.

Verdict: Wait for the next 3 weeks.

Additional info: After last The Change series, I’ve had my weight increased as much as 3 kg. Adoi~

To reach what we aim for is easier than maintaining what we've reached.
I agree with that.

The Thigh


After a long conversation in the SMS...

Nway, why you changed your baju time AGD? The white one looked nice.

I changed because cam tak sesuai nyanyi pakai baju putih tu. Yang itam ok tak?

Itam nampak biase sangat. Kalo pakai yang putih lagi better. You should wear baju yang labuh sket kot sebab your hip gumuk.

Dah tu g la kuruskan peha pulak ek.. Heh.. Nyte.. Nantuk.

Do-Nuts


What if you know me when I am already this thin? Would you say “enough is enough, no more diet Zaki...”

What if I come readily in your life with a nice body shape? Would you say “you’ve been too thin la!”


Hey, people. I have my stand. I have my goal. I have my reasons. Thanks for the advice, but no thanks. I haven’t achieved the ones I’ve been aiming all these time since I started the diet.

I don’t need sarcastic advices. I don’t need jeers. What I need is some motivational sayings that say what I am doing is right and inspirational. Or the least you could do is to stay shut up. I appreciate opinions, but say it the way that wouldn’t make me feel down.

Hey, people. At least I still eat. I avoid rice that I believe contains a lot of carbohydrates and eating it would trigger me to eat more and more. However for your information, I’ve eaten rice for at least 3 times this week. But you only see me when I don’t take rice, and of course you come with your cynical words. For all you’ve said, thanks.

I’m not seeking to be bulimic, but a healthier life than the one I used to live with way back 4 to 6 years before. Eating rice triggers me to eat more and more of it. I don’t avoid carbohydrates, but I do avoid rice. I get carbohydrates from other sources. Please understand.

Ok Zaki, forget what they say. Stay focused, fit and healthy!

The Change of Self-Principle


Please have an idea about what I’m going to write by first reading this entry.

Yes, it was last year’s stand. I need to change. I shouldn’t be led by immature emotional. This one year has taught me a lot that I should not be too much dependant on people. I need to be free and loose.

This year I am going to be a 23-year guy (read: guy), which means I should not be the same like a 22-year-old-Zaki like is used to be last year. I need to change. Life is a journey with so many changes involved all the way towards a goal.

If I can change physically, why shouldn’t I change emotionally?

Those things still happen, but now I don’t really mind anymore. Let them be their way and I hope they’d see it from me.

Those things used to hurt me, but not now anymore. Let them be.

Those things used to affect a whole of my day, but not anymore. Whatever I hear, I see and I feel just takes not more than few minutes before I come to a controlled state.

Yes, I need to have a control over myself. Being emotional is like being a girl, man! One day I’ll be leading a lovely loved woman with me and I should not be emotional in order to do that, because women in their nature set by the Great Creator are with that attitude. Rationality plays major role in men’s decision making, and I am learning to develop that in me.

Allahumma la tuzigh qulubana ba’da iz hadaitana wahablana min ladunka rahmah, innaka antal wahhab..

Don't Eat and Drink!


Besides avoiding rice from my daily meal, I have another secret of maintaining my body weight.

I don’t drink right after taking meals.

Yes, it’s right. Through practice, I’ve gained a mechanism in my eating habit not to ask for immediate water need right after eating and during eating.

The reason is simple. We got this kind of gastric acid in our stomach with specific concentration to digest everything that has gone through the esophagus. If we change the concentration by mean of diluting the acid by drinking right after eating, how would the digestion be properly done?

In short, to let the stomach does its function properly, don’t eat and drink on the spot.

For guys, this is a good tip to avoid from getting distended stomach (read: buncit). Hehe... Ya, I mean, seriously!

In my case, it’s very common if you do not see me with any glass of drink when having my meal. It’s either I postpone drinking by taking away a drink, or I didn’t order for any drink. I will drink at least 30 minutes after I finish eating.

Guys, this simple tip would be very useful for our health and body and you can start from today. Practice makes perfect, isn’t it? And on my behalf, I practice what I preach.

Zaki, tolong la makan...!

The Change 2.0

Was...

Pardon me. Is it really already another April? O-AM-GEE!

That means I’ve been with the diet for a year! You don’t ring a bell? Read these:

The Change
The Change II
The Change III
The Change IV
The Change V

Currently I am around 76kg in weight, and of course 180cm still in height (you expect a 23-year-old guy can grow any taller? =p) which means I am 23.5 in BMI. Alhamdulillah, I can maintain what I’ve got and I’m really grateful that I can be consistent with my effort to bring my weight to an ideal one.

“Consistent” here refers more to the end result, because the “effort” to avoid rice in my daily meals is subject to daily changes especially after the 3-month almost completely without rice (April to June last year). Note: Exception to my mother’s wish.

So it is possible for you to reduce weight without taking any supplements or herbs or whatsoever that may in turn increase your expenses. For your information, I once had effort to reduce my weight when I was in… erm… when was it? I can’t recall. But it didn’t work. That time I consumed laxatives and I was tortured going to the toilet too many times that it took most of my time to poo just for nothing! I even got gastric you know! Pergggh… Note: My weight greatly increased after circumcision. When? Naaah… Too much information ;p

But now, see me! :D

However, I want to stress again. I only avoided rice, not carbohydrate. The idea was simple; I tend to eat a lot with rice, so I avoid it. I get carbohydrate supplies from biscuits, noodles and of course breads.

Now, although I do eat rice, it’s in tightly controlled schedule. It’s very rare to see me eating meals with rice twice a day, 7 days a week unless when I really need it such as when I’m stressed out and during exam period where I really need constant adequate glucose supply. And not to forget when it’s free meal =p. However though, I force myself not to add another plate of rice although the dishes are like heaven! The strength must come from me to say NO.

Now Zaki. It’s time for the next move. Exercise more! Tak lama lagi ko nak kahwin!!! Build up your stamina from now! LOL :D until you T_T

Change


Taken from the one and only Syifa the Next Female Politician ;p

Setiap manusia perlukan perubahan. Ada orang memang tak nak berubah. Kononnye sebab tak nak ubah apa yang ada. Tak nak ubah diri kerana takut perubahan itu adalah sesuatu yang hipokrit dan tak ikhlas. Lebih baik jadi diri sendiri dari ber pura-pura jadi org lain. Pada aku… hmmm.. ye ke mcm tuh?

Hmmm…

Kenapa perlu ada perubahan? Perubahan lahir dari kesilapan yang berlaku. Manusia tak perfect. Tak sempurna. Jadi biler berlaku kesilapan, manusia yang sedar diri akan rasa nak berubah. Kesilapan wujud adalah untuk manusia mengambil iktibar daripada nye. Atau kata omputihnye, mistakes exist for human to take a lesson from it. Without mistakes, human tends to stay where they are. Bunyik mcm takde kemajuan diri. Duduk je kat takuk lama sebab dah rasa diri tu perfect dari segala. Huh~ perah lah santan sendiri.

Perubahan ini adalah dari pelbagai segi sebenarnye. Ada yang berubah ke arah yang lebih baik. Ada yang ke arah yg lebih jahat. Terpulang pada manusia tu nak nilai ke arah mana. Pada aku, org yg berubah diri ke arah yg lebih baik ni bukan hipokrit. Dia bukan nak berpura2. Dia tahu mana salah dia dan dia ubah. Dan perubahan dia mengambil masa.

Tapi tak kurang juga orang nak berubah demi nak ambil hati orang keliling. Semata nakkan orang keliling menerima dia dalam kelompok kumpulan tertentu. Orang2 mcm ni aku tak reti nak komen. Sebab aku tak reti bergaul dgn org2 mcm ni. Entah2 mmg ada aku gaul dgn org2 mcm ni tapi aku tak sedar. Senang citer, aku lantakkan diorg. Janji diorg tahu apa yang diorg buat dan tak ganggu hidup manusia lain terutamanye diri ku. Heh~

Apa yang penting, setiap perubahan manusia tu adalah hal diri masing2. Tapi kalau perubahan itu melibatkan org keliling, kena lah amik tahu. Contohnye perubahan tsunami politik sekarng ni. Sangat berkait rapat dgn kehidupan rakyat. Dari satu negeri jadik 5 negeri sekaligus pantai bah berubah. Perubahan yang sangat ketara. Sama2 kita sedar, bukan semua boleh terima. Ada yang gembira dgn perubahan nih. Ada yang tak. Apa2 pun, kita kena bagi masa. Dan masa ni bukan dalam sebulan dua. Terutamanye perubahan yang melibatkan membaik-pulihkan kesilapan yang terjadi. Bukan sedikit masa yang dituntut. Banyak. Jadi kita sebagai rakyat kena bagi ruang dan peluang. Bagi mereka berubah dan perbaiki kesilapan yang berlaku.

Apa yang boleh kita bagi sekarang adalah memberi kemaafan atas keterlanjuran yang dah berlaku. Memang bukan senang. Memang bukan sedikit. Kita akan rasa lebih sejahtera andai hati kita tak disimpan dendam. Perasaan tu boleh dibuang jauh2 dgn memberi kemaafan. Dan kita boleh mulakan perubahan dgn memberi kemaafan pada mereka yang pernah laku kesilapan. Seterusnye sediakan ruang dan peluang untuk mereka perbaiki diri. Jangan disimpan dendam. Jangan diungkit kisah silam. Maafkan setiap orang di keliling kita sebelum tidur. Bersihkan diri dan sucikan hati dgn muhasabah dan tanya diri kita sendiri apa yang kita dah buat demi kesejahteraan orang keliling kita.

Aku doakan semua pembaca blog aku ni sehat, ceria dan sentiasa berada dalam keadaan sejahtera lah hendaknye. Ok?

TQ Syifa...

The Change V

The Change




Statements I got generally from my relatives during last Hari Raya holidays :

“Ko Zaki kan? Akak dah tak kenal dah. Nak tegur takut salah orang.”
I don’t think I am that unrecognizable.

“Zaki! Ko dah kurus!”
Owh… don’t get too excited. Nothing interesting.

“Kurusnya Zaki...”
I thought I met you last two weeks?

“Zaki sekarang dah kurus.”
Expected.

“Sebenarnya akak dah nampak Zaki kurus. Malas nak cakap je...”
Then?

“Zaki, ko jangan la kurus lagi. Nanti cengkung sangat. Macam ni dah ok dah”
Thank you...

“Zaki dah makin hensem la!”
*blushing*

“Boleh minta tolong tak?”
Apa?
“Makan nasi!”
Loud of laugh!!!
*aku takkan lupe statement ko ni Haikal! LOL

I was so shocked that I could maintain my weight although I ate quite a lot during Raya. In order to avoid rice, I cooked. Because I know, if it's emalk who cook the meals, they are nothing but nasi campur, nasi goreng, nasi impit etc. Rice rice rice... Argh!

My plan to cook other-than-rice meals for relatives visiting my house did work! Thank you to mak and abah who subsidized me the whole things to cook. And most importantly they allowed me to cook!

I prepared Sheperd’s pie (thanks to her who gave me the recipe), fried vermicelli, spaghetti and fries omelet. People loved them because they were something new and most of them haven’t tried such meals previously. Also, not to mention I cooked well. Don’t take me wrong but that’s the fact. Hehe... One more thing, I think people are sick of rendang, nasi impit, kuah kacang, lemang etc. Come to my house people! I’ll prepare non-Malay foods. No no no... I mean next year. Hehe...

The Change IV

March 2007
*deleted*
Currently...

Read also:

It’s Ramadhan now and I’m still with my diet although it’s not as strict as previous. So far in Ramadhan I’ve taken rice at least 4 times. I’ve redeemed my desperation (not so desperate though) towards my favorite meal which is Nasi Goreng Kampung once and it suited my taste Alhamdulillah – extremely spicy and original. Yummy!

I think my body has come to its limit where it’s really hard to get lighter now because these 2 weeks the weight keeps maintaining at 76kg, based on my scale. When I measure using other scales, they show different measurements and most of the time they show higher values. Scary! Haha...

Most people say, “dah la tu Zaki. Aku tengok badan ko dah fit dah.”

Ya right. Not yet! Bumpers are still around my waist! Let’s not stop until I get rid of them!

Ok Zaki. It’s time to move on to the next stage. Do more exercise! You bought skip rope and how frequent you actually do skipping per week? To be honest, the rope has been there on the cupboard untouched for about 2 weeks. Along this period I’ve been busy with study because I need to catch things up. I’ve missed many things since the visit to Bandung last time. Wait! Is that excuse or reason?

On top of that, based on the measurements, I’ve reached my target! Congratulations to myself! See the right bar in The Change Update. It shows my current BMI is 23.456 (good number huh?) which lies within my target. Alhamdulillah... *try to do this calculation: 76/1.8 and then the result divide by 1.8 again. See the result.

Thinking of ‘Eid, it makes me afraid. Can you imagine – ketupat, nasi impit, lemang? All those are rice- and pulut-based foods! How do I celebrate the Hari Raya without eating them? Does that mean I’ll get my weight increased after raya? Argh!

Ok ok... back up plan. Don’t go home during raya. Stay in Kuantan. Assume you are in oversea. Study for final exam.

NAK KENA PELANGKUNG DENGAN MAK ABAH?!!

The Change III


Now it has come to the end of third month of my change of dietary intake. I started not taking rice on 21st of May, and today 20th of August. Now the scale shows 80 kg, indicating that I’ve lost at least 10 kg of my weight before I actually started the diet.

Along this period, many have recognized the change in my body shape. And nothing I can respond but to say thanks to them. I personally love my physical appearance more now. But this is not the end of it. I need to constantly do what I’m doing now, which is to avoid rice from my meals. I tell you, it’s not too hard to do this. Seriously! You just need a little sacrifice and patience and there you go – you lost your weight!

However, there are some problems I encountered with the lost of 10 kg. One of them is certainly my trousers! They have been loose for me to wear, not to say “too loose” because I can still put them on, but they reach the ground requiring me to fold the bottom of the trousers. Besides that I need to find new belt since the ones I have don’t fit my new waist line. About my shirts, XLs still do, but now Ls fit me more (and yet showing my fit body shape har har har). When will appear the six packs?! Owh day dreaming. Much more to do than just avoiding rice – work out!

10 kg in 3 months I think isn’t that drastic, but my girlfriend (ya I admit I’m in a relationship) said it is. I asked my friend taking dietetic course, he said it’s ok. Ah! Whatever! As long as I’m happy with the result I got with my little sacrifice and patience, who cares? Next coming month will be a month in which Muslims fast for 30 days followed by Hari Raya. I’m looking forward to making a surprise to my relatives, and my parents even! They haven’t seen me for more than a month. You know what I mean right? Har har har...

I still don’t know when I will actually start eating rice again although it’s available anywhere I go. I still don’t have the appetite to eat rice, I mean nasi putih. Nasi goreng – we’ll see some day ok? I’m afraid if I start taking rice into my meal, my appetite cannot be controlled anymore. So it’s better not to take it yet. Not now.

The Change II

Zaki! What happened to you?!

Ape yang ko buat ni Zaki? Ko dah kurus.

Ape yang berlaku ni? Kenapa tiba-tiba berubah?

Zaki! Ko dah kurus! Akak kesian dengan ko~


Those are some reactions I got from people during this first week in Kuantan after the 3-month break. This is also the eighth week of the change of dietary intake I did since 21st May this year. But people don’t get me wrong. I don’t avoid carbohydrates (or also simply called carbs). It’s just that I avoid rice from my daily meals. So to say that I’m doing Atkin’s diet or what so ever, is also totally wrong. Even the word ‘avoid’ doesn’t perfectly suit what actually happens in me. I don’t have the appetite to eat nasi putih anymore but I do have it for nasi goreng kampong, my favorite menu. Plus, if I take nasi putih I tend to eat more and more and that actually is the cause for extra bumper around my waist. Huhu...

I love it when people ask me “till when that you want not eating rice?” I’ll reply, “till it’s 3 months.”

Then they’ll ask further, “after that, what would you do? Eat rice like usual?” And I’ll reply “We’ll see.”

Considering the Ramadhan is around the corner which is going to be in the middle of September so I’m thinking of continuing the diet till then.

One reason that I forgot to mention previously for the change of dietary intake is for the health’s sake. It’s almost true to say the gene of diabetes is in me taking into account both of my parents are diabetics and so are my late grandparents. Thus, as prevention is better than cure, where am I wrong with this change of lifestyle?

Ok people. I’m open to suggestions and comments. Let’s be supportive! Hohoyeah!

The Change

It’s almost one month that my tongue hasn’t had any contact with rice. I’ve been motivated through my readings that people who actually avoid rice from their intakes would have their weight decreased. To name few; Awal Shaari, Aznil Nawawi, Ziana Zain and Dafi AF5. And they who I am referring to are celebrities who have reason for doing that; they must look good in the television, or more precisely in shape enough to look good in front of camera. But how about me? Do I have any cameras to stand in front of them, or do I have any people to look me in the television? Absolutely no. However this change of diet of mine is due to the awareness of how far my body has been from the healthy BMI range.

Let me reveal this. My height is about 1.80m while my previous weight before I started this change of dietary intake was 90kg or ++. Thus, the BMI value would yield 27.778 (weight in kg divided by height in meter to the power of 2) which is in the range of fat people. The fit people have BMI values within 20-25. Therefore, for me to reach at least 25, I have to decrease my weight up to 81kg, which is to some people still sounds scary. However, taking into account my height, it is considerably fit.

For the benefit of monitoring my weight, I’ve bought a scale. I’ve measured my current weight; it is 88kg, which means I’ve fruitfully reduced about 2kg for one-month avoidance of rice. But back to the main topic, is rice the absolute culprit?

Actually, rice contains complex carbohydrates which will yield a lot of glucose after being digested. Thus, foods containing complex carbohydrates like rice must go through levels of processes which take time before the yielded glucose can be actually used up to produce energy, and most importantly the digestion usually produces extra glucose. It is this extra glucose which will eventually be converted into fat for energy storage if they are not used. That’s the basic idea of how rice makes people fat. However it has to be stressed here; rice is NOT the mere culprit but since it is the most common meal for Malaysians, it has to be listed as one of the culprits though.

However again, it’s not all about the meal, but the energy use also. It is as simple as this; 1. Input More, Output Less = Fat
2. Input More, Output More = No Change
3. Input Less, Output More = Thin
where the input is the meal intake, while the output is anything that uses the products from the digested meal such as working, thinking, and exercising. If you eat more but you do activity less, how do you expect you will be thin? So to accelerate reducing my weight, I do some light exercises like sit-ups and lifting weighs. Owh... it’s not so accelerating considering only 2kg per month, but I believe I’m not torturing my body so much with this change.

With this change also, there are some social changes and conflicts occurred. For example, my mom continuously pleads me to eat rice but I have to refuse and that hurts her. She can’t stand it seeing me not eating rice. So does my abah. Poor mak and abah, but please understand me. Besides that, I who are not used to consuming biscuits, have change. I buy hi-fibre biscuits and to replace glucose intake, I choose fruits, breads and chocolates. Yummy! And how about seeing me doing sit-ups previously? Hell no! I used to considering my daily works as ample enough to replace the exercise, which was actually only an excuse to keep the “mim alif lam sin”. Hoho...

Along this period, I only miss nasi goreng kampong which is my favorite meal, but not nasi putih to accompany the lauk-pauk and vegetables for my lunch. Owh ya, I don’t take heavy meals for dinner also. Sometimes it’s only a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate. I hope I can continue this “revolution” for few months more before I can actually taste rice again. Hoho... sorry rice. We’ll see other time ya?



Do you have any advise for me regarding this change of diet? I would love to hear it. Let's be supportive!

My toes are big enough to cover the scale aren't them?

See... 98 88kg.
