Some important steps to get rid of fat

Thank you for those of you who have supported and who are supporting me with my new blog. It really means a lot to me.

I would like to show you how far I've come in my fitness journey before I carry on.

For those of you starting out in losing weight and becoming fitter and stronger, the very first thing you should do... literally right now, YES RIGHT NOW!!! Get your phone and take a selfie! Take a photo of yourself with as minimal clothing as possible (M18 PHOTO, hehe) with underwear and a bra/sports bra for ladies(remember you may post these photos in the future so don't go nude please). Once you have taken a photo of yourself front back and side view, you may carry on... (:

My previous post was basically to give you a little background about me and to let you know that I know how it's like. I know how it's like to have people say to you "oh you look chubbier now", "have you gained weight?", "been eating a lot huh?" and "wow you look fat now". Yeah, harsh. But I do not blame them, they were right, I mean... I did gain weight, they were just being honest. It hurt and I was one of those people who liked to complain.

I had a conversation with my good friend today, her name is Chanel, she is a sweet fun cute funny lady who is beautiful inside and out. This is her (:

Anyway, we were talking about how important it is to make a change. If you are complaining about something you dislike, CHANGE IT. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

I used to complain about how fat I was, how much I hated the flabby-badonkas(yes i called all my flabby parts, flabby-badonkas), how much I hated not having a bum.... Bla bla bla.. And it took me only in January this year(2014) to realize, complaining about it IS NOT going to make me look slim and fit. And so... it began.

In December 2013, I was at my biggest. I weighed about 60kg and could barely fit into my shorts or jeans. However, I was on many holidays, I went to Phuket, Tokyo, KL and Phuket again... so my mindset was just like "oh yeah... im on holiday, I am just going to eat whatever i want and as much as I want. Well... I really made a huge mistake on that and when i got back from my holiday and looked at the mirror... I was kind of shocked :O

This is what i looked like on the 4th of January 2014

I am a little embarrassed to post these pictures but then again if I never took these photos, I would never see how far I have come today. Thank you pictures <3

Anyway, as you can see, big, chubby, my tummy was exploding out of my pants and my badonkas were just sticking out everywhere... CAN YOU SEE THE LINES ON MY TUMMY? wow! HAHA! Even looking at them right now makes me amazed to be honest.

I am going to call that MacDonalds. Do you eat MacDonalds? I bet you do every once in a while right? Well at least most of you here reading this do... And I would just like to let you know this.

STEP 1: MacDonalds is a HUGE NO!!! Junk food in general is also no! No potato chips in the middle of the night pleaseeeeee 

Not even "once in a while" which i bet you say that to yourself all the time, I know, because I used to be like that. MacDonalds/Junk food should be eaten once every 5-6 months ... then that's ok. But its still terrible. See how much i emphasise on MacDonalds?? It is because it taste so freaking good.... They are mean people. *angry face*

Once you eat junk food every once in a while, you crave for it more and more. And its very very bad. 

STEP 2: Cut the carbo and add the veggies

I soon got into the habbit of eating cleaner, meaning, I cut down almost totally on CARBO(rice, bread, pasta). Ate more veggies which was a tough one because I don't quite fancy veggies (sorry mum) and drinking water is like so so important you have no idea. It helps to flush out all the bad stuff in your body too you know? So drink A LOT of water please, especially in the morning, that should be the first thing in your mouth, water.

After about a month and a half I looked like this. (I put them next to each other so you can see the difference)

As you can see, it only takes about a month to make a huge difference in your body. 

The food is the most important part.

More about how to lose weight coming up in my next post!!

See you soon.

Chantal, the help to your dream body.
