Dieting

Some people live to eat , while others eat to live. I am very much to former and food is a HUGE part of my life. But as much as i j'dore good food, i try not to allow myself to morph into Norbit. As a result, i have very much been dieting my whole life. Of course i allow myself the occassional bingeing and then subsequently, i go into exile and diet. Does this make any sense? lol, well it does to me.

Yesterday Urban featured an article on Fad Diets. I literally tore through the page of Urban when i saw the feature on the front cover. I've done a variety of diets such as Atkins, Cabbage soup, Liquid Diet, Pro-Ana diets etc. I even tried passing off Daniel's fast as a type of diet hah. So anyway, while reading through Urban i decided to do my very own version of My bible of dieting haha.

After trying so many diets, i kinda combined most of them and have comed up with my own concontion diets.
Here are my TOP 3 DIETS:

1) The 777 Diet ( My current one and the one i try to stick to most of the time )
A very simple diet that allows you to eat anything you want. This diet is not for weight loss, but for weight maintanence. And it only only consists 3 steps

- Do not eat after 7 pm
- Eat till you are 70% Full
- Drink a minimum of 7 glassess of water a day

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) The Detox Diet
A diet that needs alot of determination but very healthy.

- Drink lots of water throughout the day
- Drink 2 glasses of fruit juice. one in the morning, one in the afternoon.
- No food is allowed throughout the day. However, if you are hungry, you can eat bite size pieces of fruits and nuts.
- TIP: To make yourself fuller, instead of fruit juice, you can drink FAT FREE juice yogurt. NOT MILKSHAKES.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) The Heartbreak Diet.
Ok i know this only applies to me. But seriously, i lost 5 kg in 4 days! Just find a guy and allow him to dump you. And don't eat for 4 days. seriously.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIETING TIPS!!!

- Limit your carb
- Supper makes you pile on weight faster than you can say "Norbit"
- Alcohol makes you put on ALOT of weight ( yea but ...)
- Have lots of sleep
- Drink lots of water
- No soft drinks
- No Fast Food. Not only does Fast Food taste bad, it makes you put on weight just as fast as having supper daily. trust me
- Give in to cravings or you will end up eating more later on


Now that i've shared my Diet Fads, i'm going to embark on a new diet featured in Urban- The Master Cleanse.The name sounds good already. All i need is a concotion of lemon juice, maple syrup and watter with a little cayenne powder. (:!

I'm won't worry about my timing, I just want to get it right
Welcome back Nory!! (:

Genting and the breakup

Over the weekend i went to Genting with my family, relatives and Fooky (:

Had lots of fun, experienced many first-times, cam whored like crazy and ate as though my plate would never be filled again.

Trying to bring the donut home

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a totally different level,

Nat and i have finally called it quits after 5 months plus of being single and yet trying to hold on to each other every once in a while. I can't say that i'm thrilled with my current arrangement and it hurts like Hell..but i know its for the better; and that both of us will find our happiness elsewhere. Its really hard to let go but I'm done trying make something out of nothing. I will miss you s00 much but i guess it wasn't meant to be.

I don't believe in Karma. I believe in God's will and that everything happens for a reason.

9th of nov

Its been exactly 5 months.

The only thing that has remained constant in my life is God's love.
His love dispels all my fears, restores me and makes me complete.
Again and again.

Maybe its God's will that certain people are going through similar situations like i am.
which makes it so much easier to bear with.

The other day, i randomly met a friend of mine whom i havent seen in ages. He surprised me by telling me that he actually read my blog and continued on to ask me how the passport processing was going on (dammit). And then he continued on by expressing that he never knew i was "holy" person and that he was surprised cos i wasn't a typical chirstian. And yes, i get the blatent irony. So then i asked him, what was a Typical christian. He shrugged and replied that i just don't remind him of one.

I don't give thanks before i eat, or force people to join cell groups. I don't speak in tongues or preach at my non christian friends.I dont memorise scripture or state that the bible is my favourite book. I love alcohol and got admitted to hospital for excessive intake. I swear and i dont go to chruch on a regular basis.

But with all my heart, i believe and have complete faith in God because he has performed many many mircales in my life and has healed me in more ways that one. I don't know wtf is a typical christian, but i know that anyone is free to love God and my life is for his judgement. And if ppl in my life think that all the scripture i write here is bull, then its simply because they dont really know me.

Its the 9th of November.

Magritte's 'The Lovers' which depicts that Love is Blind.

Lexidh Solstad

Normally when im on deviant art, i search for those really emotive, conceptual photographs. But recently i chanced upon this photographer who captured my attention with his simple yet thought provoking shots. and his name is Lexidh Solstad

Lexidh Solstad and the beef theory :

Im no vegetarian or vegan, and i love my meat. But if in any case i stop chomping beef after this entry its cause the cow looks so damm cute in the burger hahaa.

This shot kinda got to me...so wrong to see the herbivore covered in blood

Lexidh Solstad and the chicken theory :

this picture was aptly named: family potrait. hahaa

So does Lexidh want us to eat beef or chicken?

Anyway, i found the shots really cute! The message was simplistic yet intense. and i imagine Lexidh Solstad to be a huge animal activist and staunch vegetarian casue most of his shots are of nature, animals ( esp cats) and love ( i suppose most animal activists are very loving?? ). a picture speaks a thousand words doesnt it.

Getting dumped allows you to get really cynical about love. So i tell myself. Everytime i chance upon an image which reflects the ugly nature of love, I start applauding the photographer before i can stop myself. Anyway, here are two shots of heartache. one by Lexidh Solstad and an unknown but very wise user. lol

Lexidh Solstad: ( 6 diff shots which i compiled into one picture)
every picture of the differnet hearts inside evoke different stages of heartache and healing.

I LOVE this picture. At first glance it seems like a romantic, with the strong symbolism of the ring as a promise of everlasting love. however, at second glance, the ring is in the middle of the dictionary and next to word " Heartless". The juxtaposition of the ring and the verb makes you start think that maybe the photographer just got dumped. And other subtle clues in the picture give other hints. Like how the heart shaped shawdow in the book is divided in to half; how there is only ONE wedding band; and the overall gloomy colour scheme in the picture.

This picture is hauntingly beautiful arghhh !!

back to books now..
