Oh yes, thats me…
I was 95kg. I was in the TAF (Trim and Fit) club my entire life till I was 17. I was never fond of being photographed or keeping any images of myself. Life was never easy back then. I have all sorts of nicknames that has to do with fat & clumsy. You name it, I was that. I was never happy with who I was and how I look like. Finally, I managed to shed some of excess weights off me thru medication and dieting. Did it make me happier? It did for awhile…
Looking back, I began to realise that I was valuing my worth from the outside. I’m more like those if-i-look-horrible-i-feel-horrible-the-entire-day kind of person. I was not valuing myself enough for what I can do and who I am. Once i realised it and value myself, my perspective shifted. I’m happier. I’m eating healthier and exercising regularly now because I want to stay healthy and feel good inside out.
Occasionally, I still got cravings. Like my B&J Red Velvet Ice cream. Can’t blame me. They are so darn good!

My only regret is that i didn’t keep enough pictures of myself during my teenage years. I was flipping through my albums recently. This is all i’ve got now. So go on, snap away and be happy!
