The Little Details That Shape My Life

What details of your life could you pay more attention to? 🌸 Introduction There are days when I move so fast that I forget to breathe. Between responsibilities, deadlines, and expectations, I sometimes lose sight of the small details that actually hold the power to shape my life. As a woman, I’ve been conditioned to give, to endure, to prove—but I am learning that I also need to pause, to notice, and to honor myself. My Daily Struggles and Missed Moments Most mornings, I wake up […]

Life Details

The most important details of my life I would like to pay attention to include: Which of my friends should I keep in regular contact with, and which ones should I let loose, after we disperse, move away, or even move closer to one another? How do I ensure that I have autonomy to just be myself and am not reduced to a stereotype/stereotypes in any way? In other words, how do I make sure that I have not fallen for a pop culture trap that may not accurately reflect my situation? What are the […]

I’ve always been a foodie.

I enjoy my going on food trips with my family or friends. If I’m bored or sleepy, I would look for a snack, which again is well, food.

Thus, over the years, the weight started piling up and towards the end of primary school, I noticed that my weight posed an issue. As a child, I was overweight. 

I recalled visiting the doctor once when I was in primary school coz I was unwell and he made me stand on the weighing scale and perhaps he did say more but at a young age, all I remembered was him yelling “Your child is FAT. FAT. FAT. FAT. F-A-T, FAT!”, all throughout my checkup and as I was leaving his office with my mom.

It felt like as if I had committed a felony. When in reality, he was trying to point out on how unhealthy it is for me, somehow in a rather direct way.

Over the years, I’ve struggled with my weight. It was never constant and always up and down. I’ve tried various diets which didn’t stuck long. 

The only time I properly lost weight was when I started my housemanship journey. Amidst me eating at the wrong time, somehow the weight just magically went off. Firstly, perhaps I was too occupied with work to eat properly, hence, unknowingly I tend to practice intermittent fasting almost everyday and secondly, my movements have increased dramatically. Walking above 15k steps per day was a norm.

However, as I progressed throughout my postings, I learnt how to fit eating back into my busy schedule and the weight started piling back slowly.

I brought the matter up to a dear friend and she mentioned that perhaps, I could try controlling my food portion. I reflected and realised that all these while, I’ve been consuming food in the usual portion which didn’t had an effect on me previously as I was constantly on the move.

Thus, if there is something I seriously need to pay more attention to, it would be my food choices as well as the portion. Food is extremely delicious and good. Sadly, I would say that I fall into the category of “Live to Eat” rather than “Eat to Live”.

Hence, it’s time for me to take charge and make a change towards my food choices and start my journey towards a healthier life.
