So you probably have heard how I always complain I am fat, and how I should lose weight and how I am going to make sure this time I'll stick through with it and of course, in the end I don't stick through it, and I moan and get all dramatic about how I'll always be fat because I was just born fat and I will never ever be slim and why should I try when it never will work anyway..
Seeing slight improvement and letting all hell break loose.
Well, what you didn't know was, every time I see slight improvements, I let go of all self consciousness and allow myself to overeat again. When I losing like a kg or 2 and.. I kid you not..When I see myself lose a kilo or two, I become so relaxed with myself that I always gain those 1-2kg back within a short period of time. What's worst is that sometimes I overdo it to the extend that I actually gain more than I lost. Which, unfortunately, makes me heavier than I was before. And well, over the years, you can see how that accumulates.
The BMI mystery
While, I take pride in saying that I am not obese, I am certainly not in a good weight range. I don't know how but I remembered in the past that a healthy BMI was around 18-22? Nowadays I google about healthy BMI and it's actually up until 25!!!

If you look at the current BMI criteria for healthy people, I am definitely in the range, but if you look at the BMI in the past, I am downright OVERWEIGHT!! (shhh!!! for those of you who guessed my BMI, just don't every speak of it with me!! TQVM!!)
I didn't realise I binge eat (not too seriously though!! Thank God!!)
Anyway, recently, after an emotional outbreak with le bf complaining about me overeating pizzas. Yes, I over ate pizzas. How many you ask? Well, 7-8 slices!!! FML!! That's like nearly 1.5 regular pizzas!!

| Just in case you did not believe I ate 1.5 pizza. One regular pizza is 6 slices.. FML |
Anyway, back to the topic, after finding out how I lose control of the amount I eat without realising it, I realise that I cannot count on my tummy and my brains to tell me how much is too much food and when I should stop. So that night itself, I went onto play store and searched for apps that would help me control my calorie intake. I knew the quest to find a good app would be challenging, but I needed to focus and do something otherwise I would go crazy dwelling in my misery for eating 7-8 fucking pizzas!!!
A few help to keep myself in check!
It was the most surprising thing ever. I have always looked for apps for calorie counting and it has always sucked. I recently downloaded one and it actually works wonders! I have almost used it for a week now, and realise some huge mistakes that I often make! Anyway, before I let the cat out of the bag on which app I am using, I want to test it out a few more days before introducing it to you all. So if you are interested, stay tuned!
Until then!
