♥ MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNAL & GUIDE ♥

[♥~ The Journey Begins :) ~♥]

-Monday, June 25, 2012-

My body weight has never crossed the 80kg mark. Not until today's first weigh-in in almost a year. I had done a fitness screening at the Wellness Studio at Tanjong Pagar today. I was 85kg.

I was shocked. I thought no matter what I've been doing to my body, I will never be as obese as I was in the past. I've set a new record. I'm now the living the heaviest in my whole life!

After graduation from secondary school, I had signed up for a gym membership, motivated to shed the pounds for my crush. I was 80kg then. Within just 5 months, I had lost almost 25kg!

I gym-ed 5 days a week, from 4pm to 11pm before I washed up and head home. I had done that for the 5 months. I lost a lot of weight. I looked better, felt healthier. Never did I knew that I was hurting my body. Yes, I hurt my lower back severely.

Standing hurts. Sitting hurts. Walking hurts. Lying down on my bed hurts. I couldn't turn to lie on my side without hurting really bad. I couldn't stand up from sitting or get up from bed without my lower back hurting excruciatingly. I walked like a duck to try to minimize the pain.

I did an x-ray but results showed that it wasn't the spine. But I still hurt really bad. I was told to stop my regime and to stop wearing high heels. Since that day, I had sought western medical treatments and traditional Chinese medical treatments. After 3 years, I'm finally feeling better. However, the lack of exercise and bad eating habits have caused a toll on my body.

Looking at the numbers of the digital weighing scale soar past 80kg to 85kg made me heart-broken. I felt bad. I felt guilt towards my body. The results:

Weight: 85kg (Ideal weight = 62kg)
Body Fat: 42% (Ideal = 22%)
Visceral Fat: 8 (Ideal = 1-4)
Hydration: 42.5% (Ideal = 50-55%)
Muscle Mass: 46.2
Metabolic Age: 47 years old
Metabolism while resting: 1608cal
Bone Mass: 3.1 (big bone)

I need to lose weight. Through today's session at the Wellness Studio, I've finally had a clearer understanding to how and why my body has reacted under the circumstances that I have put it through. =/

I plan to take up the diet supplements that they had introduced. Will try it out for 3 months.

I have to start treating my body right this time and never let it be like how it is now.
