A dream that never came true
>> Monday, August 8, 2011
When I was a child, I was really skin at around 2 or 3 years old. Of course, no parents would want to see their kid to be skinny like that so with the help of multi-vitamin syrup for kids (Eneveron C), I gained weight. A lot!!! It seems that I was not able to control my appetite until I reach adolescence. My first time I stepped my foot on a gym was when I was in College. I wanted to start working out during my high school days but gyms are very few and the one that I know is too expensive for kid like me. First time I life weights, my whole body aches. I can hardly bare the pain but in the long run, I was able to manage to do it again. I just can't remember why or how did I stop.
When I was in college, I even joined Judo Club. Way back then, I can kick with full force using my right leg but not anymore. I finally graduated college without even losing weight. I don't look fat before they always tell that I'm chubby. I was able to land a job in a Fast Food chain. How odd it may seems that during my 1 year stay there, I only weigh 185 lbs and I can tuck my polo in.
Here is the most shocking part. After working for a year as a Fast Food manager, I shifted to a different career. To be a CALL CENTER AGENT!
As compared for being a Manager of a fast food chain, my physical activity went down to 0. I barely move because I just have a desk job unlike when I was a manager, I move around to check that everything is in proper place. Aside from that, I can now buy the things that I like especially food. I LOVE TO EAT. Who doesn't? The only bad thing about me is I eat too much. I didn't eat in moderation. And yes, I put all the blame on my job and new lifestyle.
After 3 years, I never had a chance to go to gym until one day I decided to enroll in "Fitness First". It's expensive as compared to ordinary gyms. I thought it would keep me motivated by just paying high monthly rate but I was wrong. My knee got injured I needed to rest for a month. Since that 1 month off, I never got back to gym. Time wasted, effort wasted but not everything was in vain. I was able to lose 30 lbs during that time then I gained it back plus 8 lbs more! (216+30+8 = do the math!)
I went back to gym last 2010, I think I'm on my 4th training day when one mosquito bit me and made me stayed in the hospital for 4 days because of dengue. I was scared to go back to that gym for I might get that disease again.
August 2011, feast are finally over and I decided (again) to leave all unhealthy habits behind. I ate everything that I want to kill all the cravings. Hopefully, I'll succeed this time. I can't remember how many times did I attempt to lose weight but they always, its doesn't matter if you fall what matters is how high you bounce back.
