The holiday season is notorious for people gaining a few extra kilos or sometimes, in my case, WAAAAYYYY too many kilos! So, what do you do then? Of course, you promise yourself that you’re going to train like a beast all day, err… day but… We only know too well what’s going to happen. 😉 So, here are 7 things only a person trying to lose weight will relate to, while the rest of world stands there, judging us.
1. YOU STOCK UP ON JUNK FOOD AND STUFF IT ALL IN YOUR MOUTH BEFORE YOU BEGIN EATING HEALTHY. YOUR WAY OF SAYING GOODBYE TO YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD.
Because there’s this assumption that weight loss involves eating just salads and drinking water. So, you try to eat as much junk food as you can before you begin. Vicious, vicious cycle! 😛
2. YOU SPEND A LOT OF TIME GOOGLING “HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT” OR READING UP HEALTH MAGAZINES AND LATER CRYING ON THE INSIDE BECAUSE THE BODY OF THE PERSON ON THE COVER IS INCREDIBLE AND YOU’RE A FAR CRY AWAY FROM IT!
3. THINK ONE MINUTE ISN’T LONG ENOUGH? YOU CLEARLY HAVEN’T BEEN on A TREADMILL!
Okay, this just defines my life. You know when you’re walking/jogging/doing whatever else on the treadmill, and you get so tired but can’t stop because you must reach your goal? You begin to frantically look at the timer on the side and will be surprised how slow time actually goes by. Damn you, time.
4. YOU THINK TWICE BEFORE GOING TO DINNER PARTIES BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT SURE IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO RESIST ALL THAT DELICIOUS LOOKING FOOD.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll know how hard THIS is! You’ll probably end up saying “Okay, let me take one bite…. just one bite,” and before you know it, your plate’s full with food you should totally stay away from. *Sigh* Why must life be this hard?
5. Aunties, uncles, relatives that you meet occasionally will always remind you of your weight. “Moti ho gayi ho. I’ve got some pills from America. Try toh kar le.”
STOP. Just, stop okay? Let me be.
6. You wear oversized clothes, so it makes you feel thin. You trick your mind into thinking “Hah! These clothes are loose. I must have lost some weight.”
*LOL*. Really now?
7. YOU MUST GO THROUGH ALL YOUR PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK. ANY PICTURE THAT ISN’T FLATTERING, MUST BE DELETED. PRONTO!
Are you always trying to find your best and most flattering angle to take pictures of yourself? You’re not alone. The whole world does this. Literally. 😛
But at the end of day, you keep telling yourself you only have one life. YOLO, man! If you’re not going to eat all this amazing, delish food now, when will you? Got to make the most of it all, right? *LOL* Do you guys relate to any of these? Let us know in the comments below, because hey! You’re not alone. 😉
