Up at this point I’m still searching for that perfect formula that will let me lose weight. Getting the right shape has been my challenge for the past years. I’ve tried a lot of diets in I can find over the net but non can give me what I want. I don’t know if it’s just me or I am doing something wrong or maybe I just need to do something else. Having that in mind, I opened m y computer and started searching for things that might work for me.
For the past ten years, I’ve been struggling to lose weight. I’ve tried all the products available in the market and even tried subscribing to a gym facility but to no avail. A friend told me that eating oatmeal twice a day would definitely help me lose those extra pounds. As I search the net, I stumble across this page that informs the benefits of eating oatmeal. According to the article oatmeal contains some certain soluble fiber that helps reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in our blood stream. While it lowers the cholesterol in the body, it reduces the risk of heart problems and promotes healthy skin. One thing that catches my attention was the weight loss benefit. Oatmeal is rich in fiber which is the key for boosting your metabolism. Metabolism is the rate that your body burns calories.
To be quite honest, I am not a fan of oatmeal. I really don’t like the taste and the texture. For me, it’s like a vomit in a bowl. Yeah I know that’s gross but that’s how I see it . I told my friend about my issue with oats and I’m quite relieved when she said she feels the same way with oats before. But when she started taking some delicious protein shakes and protein bars and started losing weight which kind’a motivated her to try taking some other form of slimming food such as oats. She encouraged me to do the same and now I’m excited to try it out. I could attest on how she managed to lose a lot of weight because of eating those kinds of food which doesn’t only promote weight reduction but is also good for the health. Wish me luck!
Weight Reduction Plan
Eating Disorders
All my life I've been wanting to get fit. Never did I experienced going to the beach wearing a swimsuit. I am totally ashamed of my body and I am always on a constant look on how to get rid of these extra weight off my body. I tried almost every weight loss program available and though some of it worked for sometime, I would always easily regain the weight. I began accepting who I am after so many years of struggling but I am still hoping that my dream of wearing a tight fitting jeans would soon come to reality.
Just recently while browsing the internet, I stumbled upon a site that tackles topics about eating disorder. I began browsing through the entire site and found out that there is a place where people like me can get Eating Disorder Treatment. I've learned that there are a number of eating disorders and each one of those needs to have a certain type of treatment. Anorexia, compulsive eating and binge eating disorder are some examples of these disorders and some of them are deadly. Take for example bulimia, which is characterized by avoiding food intake for a period of time followed by an over intake that results in feelings of guilt. Then the sufferers normally attempts to overcome such guilt and low self esteem by defensive vomiting. As a result there are a number of complications that may arise from these repeated act. One of which is ruptures of the stomach and esophagus and the most severe ones are irregular heartbeat and possible heart attack. If you suspect that one of your family members does have such eating disorders, you need to help them find the best Bulimia Treatment available. Your family needs your support on this as most of the victims deny having such conditions. I don't know if I am suffering from binge eating but if I am, I would definitely seek help from those Binge Eating Disorder Treatment Institutions available. I guess all I need to do right now is to see my doctor and if I was found guilty of binge eating...I would seek help from those professionals. Wish me luck!
HCG Diet
As I've said before I am not happy being overweight. I wasn't able to fit into my old jeans anymore and seems like every month, a pound or two is being added into my weight. I've tried all the weight loss program available but to no avail. Then one day, I was able to browse a site that talks about a certain HCG Diet, it is either 23 or 40 Day Protocol, depending on how much weight the patient wants to lost. Both protocols does have 3 phases of the program. The HCG Diet promises to help you lose 1-3 pounds not per week but per day! Wow, that is too good to be true but a lot of people could tell that it's working for them. Imagine, as much as 21 lbs in 7 days? Amazing! I would love to hear more about this HCG Diet and how it really works and hopefully I could enroll in such program as well. Good luck to me!

All Natural
It's been almost four months since I had my weight loss scheme and I can say that somehow, I succeeded. Though I only lost 15 pounds for the last four months, I still believe that it's better to slowly shed it off as it will give ample time to the body to adapt to my new eating patterns, thus, it would be very unlikely for me to gain those weight again for the next lets say three to four months. I am not in a hurry anyway, I guess, I need to just enjoy this journey. I would still give myself at least three months to lose these extra 35 lbs off my body. I am currently weighing 165 lbs. which is 15 lbs. lighter than my previous weight four months ago which is 180 lbs. I intend to lose the 15 lbs. till Christmas and another 20 lbs till my birthday in February. Woohoo! I really hope I can cope up with my weight goal schedule.
By the way, besides going to the gym...I also intend to buy natural supplements to boost up my metabolism and strengthen my body. I was able to know about natures way vitamins through my friend Melai who is into natural health products. She is more concerned about how she looks because her boyfriend from Ireland would soon visit her and she wants to make sure that she is at her best appearance when it happens so she tried drinking what she called natures way herbs which improves stamina and promotes overall health and wellness to the body. I could tell that whatever it is, it is making my friend more energetic and slimmer. Her skin also became supple and smooth. I would love to try one of those natures way products one of these days. I hope I could get the same results as what Melai had when she started patronizing those products.
Live Longer!
Staring a woman's "assets" is known amongst all men as causing good sensations, but a recent study claims that it actually improves your overall health.
The author of the study, Dr. Karen Weatherby, claims that "just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out!" Sexual excitement gets the blood pumping and improves overall circulation. She also states that, if done regularly, ogling can add up to 5 years to a man's life!
Health and Fitness
It's been three months now since I first decided to cut down my weight. I wanted to do this for health reasons as well as for overall beauty purposes. I want to look good and be able to wear nice clothes and I also wanted to make sure that my health is at it's best state. I also wanted to be a mother soon and I believe that it would be harder for obese people to conceive. I don't want my weight to be a hindrance for my happiness.
Anyways, I already lost 13 pounds for the last three months. I know it isn't much, I myself is wondering why I wasn't shedding much weight though I've been working out almost everyday for two hours minimum. It's like I only lost 5 pounds per month, not bad but far from what I expected. Maybe because I am still eating a lot at that time. I eat almost two cups of rice every meal and I still drink softdrinks after each meal. I guess I've learned my lessons. Three months of gym subscription has ended and as I renew my subscription...I would make sure that this time I would make sure that in three months, I would be able to shed at least twenty pounds.
My friend Odie, who used to be a gym instructor before told me to eat a lot of protein to boost metabolism. He also said that I need to cut down rice consumption. I really adore him for taking care of his body. He does have a great abs and strong arms. He once told me that he is taking Anadrol. I asked him once if he is not afraid of taking in drugs such as that and he told me that he never take any drugs without the knowledge of his physician. He is also taking considering taking a certain pill called winstrol, a kind of anabolic steroid.
As of this time, I am working out three times a week, eats half a cup of rice every meal, drinks green tea after each meal and makes sure that I do have at least one physical activity everyday. I pray that this time, I would be able to achieve my ultimate weight goal.
Sleep Myths Debunked
MYTH: you wiill get sick if you don't get eight hours of sleep each night.
DOCTOR SAYS: No amount of sleep fits everyone, individual requirements vary. Some studies show sleeping more than eight hours a day can also be detrimental to your health. For some, five to six hours of sleep may be enough.
MYTH: Having poor sleep the night before will make you irritable.
DOCTOR SAYS: Most patients can be functional even after a poor night's sleep. It is important not to attribute daily hassles with disturbed sleep. Initiative and motivation may be diminished, but actual performance and alertness may remain intact.
MYTH: Insomia is the cause of a chemical imbalance.
DOCTOR SAYS: Although this may have a valid contribution,dwelling and worrying about things you can't change will only increase anxiety.
MYTH: You can "make up" for lost sleep by napping, sleeping early, or waking up lte the next day.
DOCTOR SAYS: Varied times of sleep compensation are actually harmful to sleep habbits.
MYTH: If you try hard enough, you will be able to sleep.
DOCTOR SAYS: The more you try, the more anxious you get, and the more likely you won't be able to sleep.
On My Way to Fitness
At last, on July 1st we would start our gym workout. I am so excited about it. I would definitely make it work this time. I have been in and out of the gym before and I guess I wasn't able to adopt a healthy lifestyle that's why I'm back to square one again. I need to lose these extra fifty pounds I've got and I intend to get rid of it in the next six months or before Christmas this year. I also was able to finally find a Herbalife Distributor where I could get Herbalife products that would definitely help me in my diet. My friend once told me about Herbal Nutrition Formula 1 Protein Drink Mix and she said it's really effective. I already know what I need to do and I would make sure that once I was already able to achieve my ideal weight...I won't stop from there. I would continue to workout to maintain my weight. I am really excited about this new endeavor and I know I would succeed this time. I can feel it, wish me luck!

HEALTH FIRST
" Health first ", this is what I always put in my mind now. My younger sister got hospitalized lately because of amoebiasis, a sickness caused by unsafe drinking water. This time, we are extra careful with everything especially with everything that we eat. drink, or take in. What happened to my sister gave us so much to learn, awareness and consciousness for health. We have never been that worried for her and spent so much money for hospitalization. Thank God she recovered fast and is now again alive and kicking. This time we make sure that the drinking water in the house is really safe and purified. We just purchased a water ionizer and that we don't drink water from anywhere. In few days, my sister will be joining a young people truth camp in a certain resort in a nearby province. Mom and I were a little hesitant to let her join the camping because we were worrying with the water there, if it is safe enough for drinking. I brought this thing up to our brothers and sisters in the church, about our hesitations to let my sister join the activity, but a sister told me that there is a portable water ionizer that we can buy now to ensure we are drinking safe water wherever we go. I checked on it right away on the Internet when I got home. And yes, it's true, I saw it right before my eyes, portable alkaline water ionizer is now available in the market. I shared it then with mom. And without doubts we purchased one right away for my sister so even if she goes to the camp, we can be sure she have pure and safe drinking water with her. It is really amazing that this portable ionizer have been invented. This is just exactly what we need. Purifying water is just so convenient anywhere, anytime.

This Is Really It!
Grabe, it’s been a looong day for me at the office. Well okey naman kasi there has been some issues with our tools and we were permitted to say the tools outage script. Biruin mo, no tools for three hours! There are also some issues with our avayas, nadidisconnect sya every now and then so ang tendency, we were not able to finish troubleshooting the member’s issue. We were not permitted to callback pa naman. Anyways, we finally decided to enroll ourselves in Gold’s Gym here in Robinson’s Galleria. Actually, at first I was really decided but when I say how much my pay was, I kind’a got half hearted. It was three thousand short of what I used to get during paydays. To my dismay, I told my officemates that I would be backing out. Good thing, Melai, my closest friend urged me to continue and not think about saving that much for the future because I also need to take care of my health. She does have a point…actually I’ve realized that I really need to exercise and to lose some weight because I don’t want to get any diseases which are associated with obesity. I admit, I am already 60 lbs overweight and it’s not cute anymore. I also want to purchase the famous P90 workout dvds to speed up the process of losing these extra pounds I have, it is actually something that I could use when I’m at the comfort of my own home. I’ve been hearing a lot of positive P90X reviews and I feel it really works. I would also like to get those P90X Drink to boost up my metabolism. I really hope this would work this time and I hope I can get my ideal weight this year.
A Week Full of Fun
Phew, it was such a busy week! So many celebrations and so many people to meet. Last Friday, May 29th, I met with my long lost friend Gherj who is now based in Singapore. She wants to have a small gathering and wants to celebrate it with few friends over a glass of beer and a videoke session. It was such a fun night for most of our friends came over. She was shocked to see me saying I gained so much weight. It almost broke my heart upon hearing that. I know my friend mean no harm but she is just being honest in what she is seeing. I admit, I gain around 20 pounds in just three months. I myself doesn't like what I see in the mirror and in the pictures we took during the event. I don't want to be like this anymore that is why I have decided to do something about it. Just last week, I bought Herbalife products to help me start with my journey of losing weight. I know it won't be easy as I've been on this road before but I am willing to undergo such difficulty again just to revive back my self esteem and confidence in myself. Yesterday is also the same, I met with my other officemates and their comment are all the same. That I gained weight. I hate it! I hope I could lose this extra pounds as soon as possible. I don't feel comfortable anymore.

Determined and Hopeful
Me and hubby went to the mall yesterday. I was supposed to buy a pair of jeans but wasn't able to find a good one. Instead, I purchased two blouses which I would use as an office attire. As I put those blouses on in the fitting room, I started to realize how badly I needed to lose weight. I picked a medium size blouse but it doesn't fit me well. It's so tight and I know I need to get a bigger one. With circumstances like this, I can't help myself but get angry at myself as I was not able to take care of my body and instead I ruined it. I can't wear those body fitting shirts anymore as my bulges would definitely show up. I can't wear mini skirts anymore as people would see my big thighs. I don't want to live like this anymore. Good thing, I'm already taking Herbalife products and I really hope it would help me prepare my body in losing weight. I plan to take the Herbalife Slimming Shake for about a month and then I would start going to the gym. I need to lose these extra 40 pounds I have in this body and I am willing to do what it takes to get back my old shape. Wish me luck!
The Hardest First Step
It's final, we will finally enroll ourselves in a gym at the end of this month. I can't wait any longer. I know I need to take the hardest first step and I need to do it now! I made it before, I know I can make it again this time. These extra 50 pounds I have in my body will soon disappear and I will feel better and would love myself more. I need to do this for myself and for my future baby. I need to make sure I am healthy before we decided to have our own child. It would be harder not just for me but for the baby if his mother is fat. Since most of my officemates already enrolled in a gym facility, I guess it's high time for me to also do my thing. I already got my Herbalife Protein Drink Mix and I guess it would be easier for me to lose these extra weight if I would also exercise. I with my friend Tony who also need to lose thirty pounds off his weight also decided to get some help. We would enroll ourselves together with three of my other teammates in a gym which is close to our office and we would start on the 15th of next month. I really pray that I would have the courage and the will to finally shed off these extra weight. I'm doing this not just for myself but also for my future family... I really pray this would work this time.

Reunited with My Bestfriend
For about one month of not speaking with each other, I was able to make peace with my gay bestfriend yesterday, his birthday. We decided to give him a surprise birthday party and bought grilled chicken, a cake and one bilaong palabok. His boyfriend bought a banner and balloons just to make his birthday a memorable one. My initial fear was to be rejected as he really wasn't responding to my numerous emails and to my texts when I tried to explain my side but praise God coz just yesterday when I tried to chat with him before we went to his house...he finally replied. I was so happy that I can't keep my tears from falling. It's indeed an answered prayer! without hesitation, we hurriedly went to his place and gave him his birthday surprise. He was really shocked. He is actually sleeping coz he still have a shift at night and was awakened by our happy birthday song. I could tell that he is really touched by our gesture.
I wasn't able to see him for two months and I could say he really gained weight. He said he really doesn't have any physical activities for about three months now. I urged him to go with me and enroll ourselves in a gym. Good thing, our company gave us a gym benefit wherein we they could subsidize 50% of our gym expenses and we can even invite three of our friends! I also asked him to try Herbalife products along with it for a faster result. He was so excited to hear that and we immediately made our initial plans of enrolling ourselves in a gym and buying the Herbalife Chocolate shake this weekend.
It's a very happy and memorable day for all of us as we were able to see Mamu and was also able to make a plan that would not only make our bodies leaner and healthier but would also strengthen our ties that would give us more memorable experiences such as this one.

The Best Workout
Just yesterday, GK and some of my officemates made their choice to enroll in a gym. At last, they are now able to do the hardest first step to lose some extra pounds they have. They were given a promise by the gym instructor that they will get the best workout and they would also get a personalized and more advanced type of workout. They can use all the facilities on the gym and a lot of gadgets too to help them monitor their weight loss such as BMI calculator , a digital weighing scale and a high tech body fat calculator.
I know enrolling in a gym would boost their determination to finally live a healthy lifestyle. I myself would like to try it out but I'm still thinking about it. My finances are currently shaky and I need to cut down expenses to make sure I can save at least half of what I earn monthly in preparation for my retirement two years from now. I'm torn between saving and grabbing the chance of finally getting back in shape. I'm thinking of enrolling myself in a gym with a cheaper joining fee, I wish I can find one close to where I live.Will update you on what my decision would be on my next posts.

Stress Related Sickness
Just recently, we had our APE or Annual Physical Exam. It is one of the requirements of the company to ensure that all of their employees are healthy. I wonder what the normal sickness of call center peeps are. Most likely it would be fatigue, stress and low back pain . We do answer calls almost 8 hours daily and we just sit in our small cubicles at those times so it's just normal that we feel pain on our back for sitting on long hours. I guess most call center professionals also suffer from degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis - all of these are associated with back pains. Insomia and sore throat are second on the list as we work during wee hours of the day and we use our vocal chords most of the time in are taking calls. Some other minor sickness are headache and fever.
I still wasn't able to finish my Physical Exam but I hope everything is well with me. If there is any abnormalities, I hope it would just be minor. I can manage not having so much but I hope and pray God would bless me and everyone in my family with good health.

Determined To Lose Weight
We just had our annual physical exam and as expected - I again was diagnosed with obesity. At 180 pounds and 5 feet in height, I really can't deny the fact that there is indeed a serious risk in my health. I know that having this weight would increase my risk of having diabetes, heart disease and high blood. I know that I need to do some serious change in my lifestyle and I am willing to do what it takes to lose these extra 50 pounds off my weight. I also would like to buy a Herbalife chocolate shake as a food supplement. I guess I need to have all the determination I could get. At the age of 30, I know it would not be easy for me. But I still am willing to do everything to have my life back. I want to wear fashionable clothes again and I want to do things I used to do when I am still at 130 pounds. Will let you know what's going on in these weight reduction scheme of mine. Wish me luck!

My Lazyness and Weight Loss Plan
I don’t know if I can still manage to lose some weight. Lately, I’ve realized how lazy I could get. After my shift, I would come and eat lunch which my hubby prepared for me. I would eat two to three cups of rice and after eating, I would rest for a while, about 30 minutes and would lay down in front of the television while eating my favorite chips. After about two hours, I would go inside our room and would lay down in our couch and read a book which will eat up another thirty minutes of my time and only after that would I sleep in preparation for my night shift. After around six to seven hours or uninterrupted sleep, I would take a shower, eat dinner which by the way was again prepared by my better half. I would then prepare for my shift and will ride a taxi on my way to the office, I prefer riding a cab as compared to riding a bus as the latter would require me to walk for ten minutes before I could reach the office. I don’t know why I feel so tired and lazy all the time, maybe it’s because of the very hot temperature in the metro nowadays. I don’t really have any physical activities so I am putting my fate to the Herbalife supplement I purchased from a friend last week. She told me that Herbalife products are really effective and I believed her immediately as I am a witness on how fast she became slim after drinking those supplements. I know I also need to do my part to lose these extra pounds, I guess I would join my friends in their gym enrollment next week.

For A Healthier Me
We again had postponed our plans of enrolling in a gym. Due to some time constraints and finances as well...we just decided to just postpone it till next month. Anyway, it's still summer and with extremely hot weather like this, I don't think I can manage to go home an hour or two late which is about noon time. Anyway, I once shared my problem with my blogmates before regarding my weight. I would really want to cut down 25 percent of my weight before the year ends. I would like to be healthy for my future baby. One of my readers recommended taking Herbalife products as a food supplement. She told me that since she took about just half of their Nutritional Shake Mix...she was able to lose ten pounds off her weight. She even let me see her old photos through yahoo photo sharing capability and I really can't believe the before and after pictures as it is too good to be true. I would definitely would try this scheme and hopefully before the year ends...I would see a better me.
