ABOUT ME

Growing up, I was a skinny child and didn’t eat much. During my secondary school period, my love for food, especially rice grew. I had an accident that got me bedridden for 8 weeks. I gained weight and didn’t consider doing anything about it. I’m not blaming the accident; the blame is on my inactivity and unhealthy love for carbohydrate (rice). My lack of discipline and change got me to a whooping 308lbs (140kg) in 2010.

THE CHANGE

It was my mom’s constant talks and crying that made me want to try. She will cry at night, praying that I change. After one fateful morning cry routine, I decided to give it a try.

I started with an unrealistic meal plan. After a month, I loss 8kg, my pants were loose and I was a dress size down. It was time to move back to school. Back to environments filled with junks and poor food decisions. It was decision time, few minutes’ yummy food or a healthier me? Well since I’m writing this, I made the right choice. But to succeed I needed a reasonable and sustainable strategy. I needed to develop a healthy relationship with food and incorporate exercise if I must succeed; I researched, read blogs and tried out new things. I even took up a course in personal health and fitness. After 3 months, I knew exactly how to lose the fat. Eating controlled portioned healthy food and staying active. I bought skipping rope, a bench and sets of dumbbell and leg weight. I exercised, ate right and kept moving. I never looked back, it wasn’t easy but it was worth it. I had low months, days I felt I wasn’t seeing results but I kept moving. 

Two years and eight months and I’m 75kg lighter. I can run, exercise with so much energy. I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been. Over time I’ve developed a healthier relationship with food. Health and fitness is now a passion and I’ve turned it into a business. Helping people lose weight, educate them on food and also running a healthy bakery.
