Yay I’m a Size 4

Posted by skmkh2002 on September 26, 2008

Dear Readers,

I’m a size 4! I don’t remember if I wrote about that earlier, but I don’t mind typing it again.

Yay I’m a size 4!

Though, according to asian standards, I’m still one huge mama.

I switched up my fitness plan, I lost quite alot of weight through strictly dieting, but I hit a plateau. So, I decided to go to the gym 5 times a week, and I’m sticking to this goal for at least the next 4 weeks.

I strongly believe in the 6-week test period, if you do or/persist with anything for 6 weeks, it will become a habit, anything before 6 weeks is most likely a simple fad, you lose interest and fall off course. I’m swimming twice a week, for 45 minutes each session, and 1 hour of tennis per week, then all the other days I’m doing weights.

Random Shopping tips:

For all of you who are visiting Bangkok, I just have to say one thing – CENTRAL WORLD PLAZA – Quite a few mid-designer brand names there, and if you go into their pathetically empty outlets, they have discount sections!

I bought a pair of pants from Vivienne Tam, and a very pretty halter top (to be added to my “fantasy closet”). It is seriously one of the best feelings in the world, to wear size 4 pants. And, my top is a size P!

This illustrates what my Mom always tells me, that if we lived in Canada I would be considered normal, here I’m XL (I think I downsized to L now!).

For example:

On my recent trip to the salon, my hair stylist commented that I looked great, lost weight, then he added, “You no more *hand action of a pregnant belly* *thumbs up and a supportive grin*”

Wow maybe he thought I had an abortion? or maybe I gave birth to my baby a few weeks ago?
Thai ppl do that, they say things like “Oh, you have baby!!!” and sometimes when I have no mood to say

“Oh silly, its not a baby! its my growing fatty belly!!”

I’ll just smile and reply, “Yes!! I’m 3 months along and she’s going to be a girl! yay!”

For the record, I’ve never been pregnant.

Thanks for stopping by,

Stacy
