on my weight (again)
here's an excerpt of monique's blog:
"...Emil dengan gaya anak kost-nya kupluk-kupluk dateng ke tempat kerjaan gw di *AP. ...Anywayz, gw kesian juga ngeliat Emil. Seperti yg gw udah tulis sebelumnya, Emil itu bener2 kayak anak kost. Kurus (he lost so much weight since I met him last!) and pretantang pretenteng bawa backpack..."
this is what my friend told me yesterday:
"hey, you know what? i just realized that you look a lot thinner than last semester. i mean, i know that you've been losing weight, you've told me. but just now i looked at you and i was like, whoaaa... you really are look different!"
another friend, today:
"lo tuh aneh deh mil, orang tuh berenti ngerokok biasanya beratnya nambah. kok elo malah jadi mengurus?"
and here's my post on my weight, 3 weeks ago.
okay, so i've been losing weight and i look thinner. and it seems that almost everybody has pointed that out. despite my confusion whether this is a good thing or not, let me explain my condition first. before i went to canada (i.e., august last year), i was a smoker and weighed around 62-65 kg. when i decided to call off my smoking habit, this was what my friend said, "hahaha... kayak lo bisa aja. pasti ntar kerjaannya makan mulu deh. ama makan permen. sama aja bo'ong mil, bukannya sehat malah gendut ama gingivitis." while this is my cousin's reaction when i told him i'm going to canada, "taruhan mil, pasti ntar kamu pulang-pulang beratnya nambah. makanannya yang greasy semua dan karna dingin pasti jadi pengen makan melulu."
it turns out to be quite a surprise that the exact opposite happens to me right now. the thing is, although i admit that my eating schedule has been, errr... irregular, i actually put a lot of concern over my health and choice of food. i spend a generous part of my budget solely for food, which means i don't just eat anything because it's cheaper than another. i eat fruits and vegetables regularly, rice almost everyday, perfectly balanced by protein sources, be it meat, fish, chicken, etc. i avoid fast food. i take vitamins religiously. juices, yoghurt, even milk. all in all, i'm taking care of myself.
...come to think of it, maybe that's the very reason why i've lost my weight. i have been too careful with my choice of food, that now i have a very unhealthy lifestyle (lack of sleep, irregular eating pattern, stress, you name it), the result isn't turn out to be as expected.
as of now, i'm just giggling thinking of reactions and comments people would say when i come back in 2 months. :)
