To be honest, weight loss for big girls is a bit of an emotional affair.<\/p>\n

For me, it was the worst thing ever when one of my boyfriend’s friends (after having had too much to drink), made a remark about the fact that I should lose weight to make him happy IN FRONT OF A TABLE OF MEN WITH SLIM WIVES. Yes, what a schmuck.<\/p>\n

But I had to face the fact. Regardless of what I thought of Mr. Schmuck, I was a 5’7″ Asian woman in my early thirties, and I was 84kgs. That’s the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Here’s the proof!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to do something about the fact that I was unhealthy. If I wasn’t careful, I’d get diabetes because mom was a Type 2 diabetic.<\/p>\n

So began a journey of denial, self-loathing, self loving, but mostly I educated myself on every imaginable weight loss program out there.<\/p>\n

From the Paleo diet to Atkins, to glycemic index diets, you name it. I read more than 100 books on health, wellness and weight loss.<\/p>\n

Then I made one decision from the sum of my research.<\/p>\n

I eliminated refined carbs, gluten and cane sugar from my daily diet.<\/h3>\n

Sure, I walked a little, skipped some rope like an elephant on protest, but mostly the 6 kgs weight went because I stopped eating bread and noodles made from wheat flour – and no sugar.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’ll share some other things with you. Don’t give up! You can do it!<\/p>\n
