Ladies’ worst enemy - The Weighing Scale
There’s something wrong with my weighing scale! Or is it??
Damn…. the meter has shifted somewhat to the right when i stepped on the weighing scale this morning. I couldn’t believe my eyes at first. I suddenly remembered the stuffs i’ve eaten over the 15 days of the Chinese New Year:
- Pineapple Tarts
- Ba Gua
- Egg rolls
- Prawn rolls
- Soft drinks
- 3 Lo Hei sessions
- 4 full steamboat dinners
- Roti Prata
- 4 cups of bubble tea
I feel like crying now….
I did exercise twice weekly, did 2 to 3 miles of walking via the exercise cd. I thought i was doing everything right… until i read about this article from ZenHabits.
I seemed to eat back all the unhealthy food after each exercise session when i should be taking care of my diet.
One simply could not lose weight if they maintain their same old diet despite doing regular exercises. How wrong and naughty i was.
In the next few weeks to come, these are my plans:
- Eat less new year goodies
- Exercise regularly
- NO MORE bubble tea
- Eat more soupy dinners and meals
- And … no more suppers
Will update on my status here and hopefully, this time round, the meter on my weighing scale will go back to the original place.

Going on a “eat less” diet is the worst thing you can do. The weight will not “stay off”, once you resume your normal eating habits.
You need to actually CHANGE your eating habit, ie, make the changes and use it everyday.
So, cutting down on “supper” for example, is a BAD MOVE. What you need to do is to INCREASE the number of times you eat (but not the amount). If you eat 5 to 6 times a day, you will trigger the body to burn the calories more than if you ate just 1 meal a day (”eat less diet”).
Of course, you must “eat right” for all the 5 or 6 meals per day. And when I say “meal”, I mean small portions of healthy food, such as wholemeal/multigrain bread with tomato and lettuce, an egg, orange juice. That’s considered “1 meal”.
