Hopefully, that gives you an idea of my life so far.

For people who know me, I am going to come right out and tell you all that 'Yes, I am enrolled in a gym.' I have come clean to my family and shocked them in a good way. I think I am inspiring my brother and dasao to take healthy steps to control their life again. I know some people would tell me 'Girls don't do weights, later build muscles and become very ugly.' I don't appreciate comments like that, so I would just take that as a 'Wow, I wish I could be as motivated and disciplined as you!' But of course, there are the supportive bunch, whom I truly cherish in my Life. Thanks for encouraging me in this battle.

My goal is to slim down before my 21st birthday. I don't want to waste away my life anymore, I don't want to sit around and whine about how other girls are skinny and I am not. I am willing to put in the hard work to achieve my dreams. I absolutely do not believe in magic pills or slimming treatments. If pills were everything, there would be pills to make one smarter, or taller, or more beautiful. Yes, I do fantasize about a magic pill, but not everything in life is about a magic pill.

Through this journey, I went through many ups and downs, which not only brought me closer to my goals but taught me much stuff about myself that I never knew about, such as mental and physical strength. I face my demons and stumble many times on a daily basis in this journey, but the key is in picking yourself up. Nobody is a failure if you never quit and give up the battle.

If yesterday was a bad day,
only I can make today a good day,
and tomorrow shall be a better day.

I must also add that I am a procrastinator, hence, the previous entry is not going to be deleted, not for a very long time, ie, forever.

Enough said, I created this blog wondering about what should I write, pondered about burning the bridges to being judged by others by what I say. There's always the matter of privacy and I am a person who likes to keep certain aspects of my life personal. Especially in a particular struggle.

But I would also like to have more accountability and also to reach out to others that are going through similar situations in Life. Because no man is an island.

Wow, that's deep. Okay, confession to be made, most of the time, I will just be ranting and making crappy digs at my life, so if you have a fetish for that, you are welcome to join my fanclub (if one should exist).
