I have gained a considerable amount of weight due to a strong dosage of steroids and well, too much eating. I gained around 20 pounds or around 7 kg. Saaad.

I still fit most my clothes but I don’t feel too comfortable in my clothes and my look anymore. And I’m not a photogenic as I used to be. LOL! I akshully look good IRL now, more than in photos. Or so I choose to believe. Har!

Anyhow, the point is… I will try to lose the 20 lbs by February 14, 2011. January is not attainable because I do not want to follow a strict diet during the holiday season. Hehe!

As a start, I have already banned myself from eating instant noodles and chichirya or chips. It’s a hard thing to do, but I have managed to follow it for around 2 weeks already. I have also lessened my soda and juice intake, and have resorted to drinking lots of ice cold water, which I love anyway. I still drink coffee and milk chocolate though.

I plan to reduce my rice intake as well as my intake of other carbohydrates such as bread (OH MY!) and potatoes. I think I’ll also eat more oatmeal and drink more tea to aid my digestion, and maybe more veggies and fruits instead of meat.

I think I can lose the 20 pounds without sacrificing my health. I just have to make better decisions when it comes to eating.

Wish me luck! 🙂
