Vain? Me?

After several years of forgetting myself, almost literally, I'm finally trying to go back to my old somewhat Kikay self. I'm just about close to curing my acnes, yes people, too many acnes from years of eating the wrong food, not watching my diet and too much exposure to sun's UV rays. Slowly but surely my acnes are leaving my not-so-lovely face with the help of RDL #3.

Last week I finally decided to watch what I eat and try to lose a lot of pounds, when I say a lot, I mean a lot. The last time I checked my weight before I got married, I was at 135-140 lbs, I was chubby, yes, but not obese, from my POV. That was my ideal weight considering I have big bone structure. Just months back I was at 210 lbs, it scared me to death yet took me months to finally realize that health wise it's not good for me.

You see, my side of the family has history of diabetes, an aunt of mine even got amputated because of diabetes, and even my mom has been taking medication and have been watching her diet because she's nearing the verge of having normal blood sugar. And now that I'm about to set to foot to being 30 next year I know it's gonna be difficult for me to lose these extra extra pounds pretty soon.

Apart from watching my food intake I also try to burn these extra extra fats by walking my dog every afternoon. I don't think I'm capable of jogging yet because of my weight.

Also, apart from watching my diet, I'm also beautifying myself and started taking care of my face and skin. Back in my younger days I'm not the type who'll instantly believe in TV commercials for whitening and anti aging. But come to think of it, I'm not doing it just so others would notice me, I'm doing it to make me feel good and happy. So, just last week I started cleaning my face regularly with the help of Pond's and RDL#3 and powder every so often. For my dark skin, I use Block and White whitening soap and lotion atleast twice a day.

I'm hoping to see these expected changes before Christmas and I'm hoping that I can keep this habit forever, it's not a sin being vain sometimes.
