I made a decision last night to start losing some weight and getting my much needed exercise. My decision was not purely based on vanity, though it would definitely make me feel better if I could fit into smaller sized clothes. It was based on these things: 1. I could not buy any clothes/jeans that fit me right. I felt really bad when I started going around the more expensive shops to look for jeans and found nothing that fits me nicely. 2. My cheeks are starting to look bigger than Judy Ann Santos's before she went fit. I noticed in the Sagada pics that I have signs of a double chin coming. I used to be photogenic, but now, I just look, well not-so-photogenic. 3. I pant, to the point of wheezing, when under physical duress. My pants have now become famous thanks to the "rock-climbing" we did at Sagada. I'm short of breath when taking on the flight of stairs for MRT or LRT. 4. My knees feel my weight. When I am standing up for long periods of time, I could feel my knees groaning from the weight. Mind you, I am not overweight. Though the doctor raised some concerns about my weight gain over the past year, I am still below the limit for my height. Maybe its because I am not used to being "malaman", as my bespren puts it. And some people tell me I look better than when I was skinny. I just want to feel better naman. O gosh, I am such a woman.
