A Giant Leap to my Perfect Body
Submitted by: Andrea A.
PhilippinesI am a college student from the Philippines, taking up the course Multimedia Arts. I am passionate about my hobbies and of course, the activities I like doing. As for excercising, not so much.
During my younger teenage years; I was rather round, I was fat. When I turned 16, I became a whole lot more conscious about how I look. There are lots of clothes that I’d like to buy, but really shouldn’t because they don’t look good with my shape. I started feeling quite sorry for myself. I tried cutting off some calories from my daily intake and I really tried hard to keep on exercising. The progress was slow but I managed to lose a lot of weight.
Now, I feel kind of okay about my weight and shape, I’m way slimmer than I was before, but I have a target body, there’s a specific shape that I want, but I’m getting tired of what I’m doing. I stopped exercising, I’ve been eating a lot, and I fear that I’d go back to being round. Now, I don’t want that.
I’d heard of The Secret a lot of times and I finally gave it a read this year. When Iâd finished reading it I was very determined to try it! For some reason it makes sense.
From simple situations where in my music player is on shuffle and I really want this one song to play next and it would, without me having to do anything, to something like having to ask for immediate transportation home. It normally takes me 15-20 minutes to get a ride, but I’d focus on the feeling of wanting to get home right away and there would be a bus coming to my rescue.
So I said I want to be 2kg lighter in 2 weeks. I declared that I have a fast metabolism; I could eat whatever the heck I want to eat and just get slimmer.
I told myself that I’m not going check my weight till the time I gave myself is up, but I couldn’t help it, I checked 1 week and 2 days early, I’ve eaten a few sweets and carbs, plus I had muffin and cupcake that was delicious. These things normally I would deprive myself of, and guess what… I’ve lost 1.5kg! I weighted myself in the afternoon, which is considered your fattest time of the day, so I was very thankful. I can’t wait to weight myself again next week. I’m getting close to my perfect body.
Oh wait. I already have it. 😉
