When I was in elementary through middle school, I was chubby. I remember eating at McDonald’s everyday after school and eating was what made me happy…I loved food and I couldn’t help it. Getting to high school, I became more aware of my body and started going to the gym to run. I started to enjoy running because of that and eventually lost about 10kg in a year without noticing it.

Then I headed off to university…

Experienced the freshman 15… actually more than 15… more like 30…

Why? Well I barely used the gym and I ate..a lot at the dining hall. I had to. I had to use up my swipes or I felt like I was wasting all the money! (It was mandatory for the freshman to purchase the meal swipes…)

It’s time for me to go on a diet again…but instead of starving myself and running again, I want to try something different this summer. I want to get a toned body. I want muscle so that I will not regain the fat again. I want a body that will stay the same regardless of how much I eat.

So this summer, starting from June 1st, 2014, I will go on a diet! I will give myself a goal of 3 months, until September 1st, 2014, although I hope to keep this going until it becomes a routine of mine. I have not weighed myself and I plan not to. I don’t want to base my body on “number”, which is pointless. I will look at myself in the mirror to decide if I am satisfied with my body.

In three days it’s June 1st! Until then, I will start eating a little bit more healthy. Wish me luck on my journey!
