One of the things that's been taking my attention these past few months is how to maintain my ideal weight. Ever since reaching the mid thirties, it has been a constant effort to do so. Unlike when I was still in my late twenties, it was a breeze. If I noticed that I am getting fat, I would just cut down on food intake and viola! I am back to my desired figure.
To give you a background, I am not really obese or fat even after childbirth. I just weigh around 108 lbs. At 5'2, I am still in the ideal weight line but I would prefer to be just 105 lbs. But now, even if I watch what I eat, I could still see the bulges of flesh around my waistline. Urgh! I couldn't wear the clothes that I would normally wear if I were slim.
I am one of those women who are conscious of their look. Who isn't anyway? Some may claim they aren't but I know that deep inside there is still an urge to look presentable and be pleasing to the eye. I guess it's human nature. And although I am more confident now, I still desire to be pretty not only for my husband and children but for myself as well.
I realize that I have to put in more effort to my usual weight control regimen. With age coming in, I have a slower metabolism as compared to when I was younger. Gravity also has its way of making its presence felt especially in the areas that women are conscious of. I guess it takes a lot more discipline and love for physical activity for me to address this.
Hmm, anybody knows where I can buy discipline?? he, he.
