Body Issues- How to Reduce Weight in 2 Weeks
Warning:
there is no advert on any slimming product or fitness regime in this post.
I just want to share / provide alternative perspective on fighting with weight issues.
I am not a person with the best body or the best weight. Believe me. But I have struggles too.
for me personally, I started since standard 3 since that boy that I secretly had crush on called me "DONUT" because of my fair, well rounded face. I still remember the way he was standing next to the field, shouting, calling me "Donut!Donut" as if "cheering" for me during my 4x4 relay.
He was the one who started it. He made the 10 year old girl me at that time, believed that I have some serious issues with my body.
Then at high school, of course I was still carrying those round cheeks, and I was not the skinny type either. I think my waist was 28 at that time. I was in plump category.
I was so embarassed with my face I never lipat my tudung.
The body issues also became serious towards the year end of high school.
I bought and drink slimming tea which taste horrible and made me constipate.
I bought and ate laxatives everyday to get rid of the food that I consumed.
I also refrained eating which caused me headaches everyday.
Then zaman university I initially refrained from rice. But I ate lots of buns/bread instead so it did the counter effect.
Then I just gave up because everything I did was not working. I finally kinda accepted my body image at that time. I was like, redha and stopped stressing about it. I started eating regularly, walked a lot (okay it was actually because my mahallah was the farthest from the faculty) and I also frequented the ladies' swimming pool.
After all that, I managed to lose some weight.
But I still tucked away my cheeks underneath the tudung.
I was still carrying that low self esteem. I didn't want anyone to notice me.
Fast forward, it took me more than 20 years to realise and accept that stress actually contribute to many health issues that is due to/caused by stress eating and deteriorates your self-image.
It took me 20 years to realise that love from people surround you motivates you to work out because you want to be the one standing strong when the rest of your family feeling sick, or because you want to live longer to witness your children growing up and be there for them whenever they need you.
So ultimately, you don't need any secret ingredient to lose weight.
Reminder for myself too:
Stop overthinking or counting calories.
Just be moderate in your consumption.
Do the simplest form of exercise, be it kegel exercise (it counts too right?) or bicycle crunch on the bed or slow jog for even 1 minute, any minute of the day.
We can do this!
