FAT CHALLENGE

During the Bangkok-Pattaya trip, I was approached by my ex boss and she asked me why I do not bother to lose some weight. “You have great personality!” she said, “All you need to do is to lose some weight.”

I jokingly told her, “Not that I wanna brag, but if with this body, my social life is fully occupied 24/7, I cannot imagine if I am slim and beautiful!” (Yes, you may puke all you want after reading this.)

Knowing that she won’t win the verbal debate especially with someone like me, she cajoled me by offering to play cupid for me and a chubby friend* with her existing business contacts who are eligible, handsome, young and filthy rich. It’s not that we were not ALREADY in the company of the eligible, handsome, young and filthy rich friends, but if there is more, we shouldn’t be complaining, right? (Chubby is in a good company of three eligible, young and filthy rich boyfriends (only one is handsome lah) for now).

History of Weight Loss

Gina’s

Lost 15 kgs in year 2000 and gained it back when she started working.

Lost 7 kgs going on a metabolic diet in 2 weeks in 2003 and gained it back – the metabolic diet is a hoax.

Lost 11.5 kgs when she joined gym last year and gained it back with all the fei chai trips.

Lost 4.5 kgs after refraining social activities at all cost in one month and regained it when her social life came back in full force vengeance.

*It’s hard to lose weight when you are so damn popular.

Chubby’s

Lost 15 kgs for her brother’s wedding to fit into nice clothes in year 2002.

Well, Chubby opt for body wraps from the slimming centre as I, on the other hand, prefer the hard way – going to the gym and exercise.

Hhmph.. Who would you be voting for?

To the video ... and music... and i can get you the belly dancing belt too .. to motivate you ...hah!! That was the main catch .. the costumes are gorgeous!! ... really ..
