If there is one thing that I don’t like about myself, that would be my forgetfulness. When I blog about the events that transpired throughout the day, sometimes, I find myself either confused or worse lost.
It’s a good thing that when I checked my weight this morning, I was able to write it down. I also updated my body stat on my other site. Everyone, I’m glad to share that I’m 150.2 lbs!
Konti na lang talaga. But it’s not unusual to experience sudden bursts of weight gains. Again, I should say, it’ll depend on what I eat throughout the day. Calories count. Every single bite does. But how does a small bite affect a person’s weight? Well, if you think about it, you don’t eat ONCE a day, don’t you? We need to eat all the time in order to last/survive the rest of the day.
So guys, when I try to lose weight, it doesn’t mean I don’t eat. Believe me, I do. In fact, I try to eat six times a day. Nga lang, it’s so difficult to chose the food that we eat. All the junk that’s being sold in convenience stores, fast food chains, restaurants makes it almost impossible to search for the “perfect food”. Besides, they all sell junk. Who wouldn’t? Food is quick, easy, affordable, and most importantly, mouth-watering to the consumers. Who wouldn’t want to dig for a stick or two in a bag of french fries? Wouldn’t you?
I don’t want to lose hope tho. I’ve really put an effort on losing weight which should improve my health. Pero I’m sure, someone would say, “e si Deither Ocampo nga, ganda ng katawan, nag-collapse”. Yes, that’s true. Health is not based on aesthetics alone. Good health is the over-all balance of the good and the bad. Kaya nga meron tayong liver, kidneys, sweat glands, nose hairs, tonsils, white blood cells, anti-bodies, and many many more “guards” e. It’s their job to eliminate the bad things that go into our system. It’s part of nature: the good and the bad. Our bodies has a built-in defense system. But in order for it to function properly, we should be careful in choosing the stuff we put in our bodies.
Easier said than done. I know.
It took a while for me to realize that AGAIN. Sabi ko nga, I’ve wasted years of my life smoking. Something that I’ve regretted. But, I’ve forgiven myself, and as a reward, the experience taught me something about myself. That I have control. That I can control my actions. That I have control over my life. I quit smoking without any help from anyone or anything. I just quit. Point blank. Like that.
Better get going now. It’s a Wednesday but I don’t think the Sith Lord would stay at home. I can feel the dark side’s presence moving towards the office. Unfortunately, THAT I don’t have control. Ha-ha-ha.
So guys, live well!
