Dieting & The Sorts

It's been 3 weeks since I stopped. I don't want to have to spend over $300 to get it. I'll spend it on the dogs & stock up on their supplements since I'm gonna be out of job in mid Nov. I've been pushing ahead on sheer determination & some (:P) discipline. Breakfast is usually 1 slice of bread with 1 slice of cheese. Lunch had been Mr Bean's soya milk without sugar with pancake. Dinner had been whatever I could get my hands on at home. Rule is 1200 cal a day.

Sometimes I do indulge myself. Especially with the mooncake festival just over. Do you know that a normal mooncake without yolk contains 800 cal? Shocking right? So a quarter will give you 200 cal. So what do I do? I spilt the mooncake for breakfast & lunch. Or sometimes I go out & have a better meal. Then I'll compensate by eating less the next day.

It's hard to really gauge how much weight I've lost. Coz I keep getting constipated. So when I haven't gone for 2 days, I'll take senna. According to Jeff, senna is made from plants/herbs so it's safe for consumption. Well, it sure beats taking lactulose which is indigestible sugar. It's a disgusting sweet syrup which is thick & sticky.

I'm closing on my 66 kg target which I believe I'll acheive once I manage to go. I still can't believe that 7 weeks ago, I was 6 kg heavier. This brings the minimum weight I've got to lose down to 14 kg. For my height, I have to be at least 44 kg (BMI 18.5) without being underweight & maximum 55 kg (BMI 22.9) without being overweight. So I have 11 more kgs to go before I fit into the normal weight range. I'll take it from there when I hit 52 kg. That is, if I can ever make it. My ultimate desire? The 48 kg me when I was in Sec 2.
