Weighty decisions

So here I am, tipping the scales at the heaviest I have ever been since I was born. The 65kgs post college weight now seems like a "lighter" me. 

For a person who is very much aware of the highs and lows of her yo-yo weight, the recent remarks of an overly concerned friend is the straw that broke the camels back. 

I understand that with barely 6months to go till my wedding, I'm pressed for time but with I do believe that I can be the me I want to be by then. Not everyone can be born Chinese (stick thin and not having to wear a sign that says "curves ahead"-meant in the best way possible, I am half Chinese but just lacking any Chinese physical attributes) or with a high metabolism. I have been receiving grief for my weight since I sprouted boobs. It's not even funny anymore. 

I guess in this day and age, it's no longer enough to be happy and have good skin, I need to worry about my weight too. Fine, challenge accepted. I'm also going into hiding until March 15! Just saying. 

Also if in the future, anyone needs to tell a friend she is fat. A simple "How are you?" may just open the conversation. Then you would know that she does indeed feel bad and her self esteem is taking a severe blow day by day. AND you won't need to resort to "foot in mouth syndrome". At this point, maybe you could even be the Samaritan that is trying to help. 

So for now, 70kgs and going into hiding. 6months to the wedding and I am giving up food. Alcohol shall be my sworn enemy!!! Follow ups shall be made every week here.
