BET? WHAT BET?
This was written 3 weeks ago.. in good faith…
As agreed, Chubby and I weighed ourselves on a “standard weighing scale” at Yvonne’s house when we went to her house for a Hari Raya BBQ. Dennis, her brother, was laughing at us and thought we were weighing ourselves before and after the BBQ – to see how much we have put on after gobbling up all the food. (Yvonne, please tell your dad, that the BBQ sauce on the lamb shank and beef cutlets kicked ass! Oompph! Salivating now at the mere thought of it).
Both of us were actually surprised that we lost some weight without even trying. It is like, we thought we were Venus, nearer to the Sun (destruction) but were happy to find that we were actually the third rock from the Sun. The scale showed that we were very much further off (Earth) to hit 100 kgs (the Sun) than expected (Venus)… Someone must have tampered with the weighing scale to make us eat more in the BBQ? Yvonne? Can you explain this?
If you see that I am talking gibberish here, I couldn’t really reveal the actual weight of Chubby’s and mine – weight and age are big issues for the ladies. We will let you know how much weight we have lost as and when… or if, we managed to shed some.
I am happy to say, that I had lost about 2-3 kgs over last month. Thanks to reduced social obligations – I drink less, (Ok lah. I drank quite a bit last weekend, but I managed to cheat on drinking (meaning – drink less), even during the October Fest), declined dinner engagements with friends – postponing them to breakfasts/ lunches instead and trying very, very hard to have ONE concentrated food at ONE time. (The lion not having baked potato together with the zebra theory – Fit For Life) and eat less oily food. Chubby on the other hand, is seeking professional help (not on sanity matters) – a slimming program of which Ms Charmaine Seah endorses.
So, let the bet begins!
P/S Deeparaya is far from over. Everyone in office is still feasting on cookies, kuihs and murukkus brought from home. Temptation lurks everywhere… but I must persevere!!

Today….
I doubt it though. Sigh. I had been pigging out the past few weeks – wedding dinners, makan-makan with friends, nasi lemak spree with office colleagues etc.
Yesterday, the management decided to throw us a buffet lunch for DeepaRaya celebration.
I guess I would need more than sheer will power to overcome this. May God be with me through this!

You’re a food lover, the type who live to eat rather than eat to live. So these dieting stuff must be real difficult for you. However, if you persevere, I’m sure you’ll see great results. Don’t be discourage eventhough you lose only a bit. Well… as the saying goes… Sikit-sikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit!!
