Not the Norm

I've been conditioning my left hand to perform daily tasks; washing face, brushing teeth and pouring water into the bottle (not that easy with a semi-filled kettle), and occasionally writing.

Yesterday, i decided to try it out at lunch time. There were my favourite omelette & luncheon meat combi, oyster sauce (?) fried fish, eggy soft veggie and fried toufu in Thai sweet chilli sauce to go with the Japanese sweet potato porridge. In general, it wasn't too difficult picking any of the dishes up with chopsticks, except when i had to scoop up the sauce on two dishes, which required a little more effort. Skill was needed to tear the fish apart and that was something adept Righty has acquired with years of practice, which Leftie couldn't manage too well. Well, i did give in at some point and switched hands about when certain dexterity with Righty was needed.

It is quite awhile since the last time i attended mass with the folks, what's more on a Saturday, which is what i did the evening before. This time, i got the quiet (well, it's quieter as compared to 1115 mass on Sunday) i wanted/ needed to hear the sermon, but the speech wasn't 'captivating' enough for me to stay focused on this time around.

Today, i exclaimed/ lamented out loud often on my ride home, "I am FAT!".
The weight issue is really bugging me at this point of my life, which is something i find a little abnormal because most women have an issue with weight but many just say it all the time but no action result from there. I never thought it'd escalate to this point of my life where I'd have constant thoughts of major exercise and a big diet change from hearing/ reading subtle & not-so-subtle comments on my weight. I've become more toned, and have firm muscles as people-in-the-know have mentioned, but also heavier! I am back to the weight i was when i was 17 or 18 (a teenager....). Being an adult now means it's harder to lose the fats i invited happily through deep-fried/ savoury/ sweet snacks & desserts! I exercise way more than before yeah, but i think i snack a helluva lot more too. My appetite is still very good so my drastic idea of not allowing much ingestion to happen is by pulling out my teeth- yeah, the only thing i seriously consider cosmetic enhancement to at the moment, and spend much time on- so i'll not be able to eat well from toothache. Ahhhh. I daren't change my eating habits much now lest i affect my brain for the upcoming Psychology exam in five days. Sooo, i intend to for an UBER-ACTIVE lifestyle right after! Yeahhhhh. Bye bye bulge, hi hi slimmer thighs!

Thigh fat, the cause of my shopping woes. Abdominal tyres, the cause of my tight-fititng tops' woes. Yes, i can still fit in a size 8/ medium and occasionally wear 10, so when i recently received a pretty indigo blouse of size 12 from a mate, that reinforced my FAT FEEL.

Gee weez, thanks alot FWENZ, i can totally see how all of you are trying to suppress your feelings of my obvious weight gain. Momma says i have a 'hamburger face' -_-

That did it lah, all that fat talk. Never did have a photogenic face to begin with, now it's a fat non-photogenic face. What with the big, permed hair emphasising the already fat face....

Yo' momma's daughta's so fat, she looks like a walking McDonald's special!
