Highs and lows of my weight

Since the last post which was exactly 2 months ago, some things has been happening.  I started on a weight loss journey, by myself  I've lost 4.6 kg total  I gained some of them back and lose them again for the past couple of week Had a emotional low where I had to solicit advice from a friend  I always thought losing weight was easy, as the only thing you had to do was watch over what you eat and you'll lose the kgs. But, from what I experienced, the emotional battle within me was the hardest to face. Telling myself, if I quit I could eat whatever I want since I gained some of the weight back. Why keep at it when I plateaud, and even gain weight back? Tough questions to answer.  I know the answer is consistency and not giving up. But that is easier said than done. However, I want to come out the other side being 10 or 15 kg lighter. I want it. I will it. It will be done.  Hope's my next post will be more cheerful haha Here's hoping.   

Highs and lows of my yesterday

Yesterday was the 2nd day of a little program organized by our company. A little get together to learn new skills that has something to do with assessment reporting, determining the best course of action after we have gathered some information in our helping process.   The class was wonderful. New friends are great. Old friends are even greater. We shared minds on what mistakes we did, how to improve, safe to say we're taking in huge loads of new information and trying to adopt these new standards for our own habitual practice.  Those are what I considered the highs of yesterday and the day before that.  But, the lows.  I ended yesterday with self-blame, grieving over my own appearance, with a dash of self-loathe. I was asked during Rorschach analysis whether I've never been happy about the way I look.      Caught off guard, I nodded and said yes.  When asked whether I wanted to be Cinderella.      I nodded and said y...

A bit of update!

 Hey you guys! Remember about the NGO I talked about a few posts ago? We're officially registered with ROS! Oh my god, I can't even believe it. Feels like it won't happen because we were rejected so many times. But it did! It has!  We successfully registered but have to make some changes. First, we rebranded our NGO from Feminita which has a really feminine name and may chase away potential male clients to something really public, simple, yet easy to remember. The new name is Persatuan Minda Sihat Malaysia (PMSM) or in English, I guess it would be Healthy Minds Association Malaysia or Healthy Minds for short. We've also started recruiting new members. Alhamdulillah, we scored a few more members since our registration. Most of our members are counselling students from Open University Malaysia, but we do not prevent those from other universities to join us too if they are interested in our programs and causes.    As for me, it's the first time something I did and foll...

Assalamualaikum, hai korang! aku ada benda nak update kat korang. baru-baru ni, aku terbukak hati nak join satu pertubuhan ni. NGO lah kiranya. nama dia Feminita. benda ni wujud sebab ada classmate aku dalam kelas kaunseling selalu consult dengan kaunselor power ni En Hairol Kamal nama dia. En Hairol ni borak-borak dengan classmate aku tu, pastu dia cakap la, kenapa you tak buat NGO? Pastu classmate aku cakap dia taktau macam mana nak buat. Sebab ye lah kan, kitorang kan student je. Mana lah terfikir nak buat NGO apa bagai. Pastu dia cakap, takpe saya boleh ajar macam mana nak buat NGO. sebab setakat ni tak ada NGO yang based untuk perempuan je kat Malaysia ni. classmate aku pun macam, cantik lah. classmate aku ni sebenarnya tak recruit aku pun. dia recruit classmate aku lagi sorang. pastu classmate yang lagi sorang ni yang recruit aku. first, aku macam nak join ke tak eh. macam skeptik sikit pun ada. ye lah, selama ni dengar NGO kat bandar-bandar je, pastu macam aku pun tak pernah ada...
