The Minority Report


August 31, End of the month and it's time to do a report about what I achieved for august. I was so bored to go to the gym earlier this day. But I forced myself to go there so I could check whether or not I'm progressing in my biggest loser saga. The past 2 weeks, I have been lax on my diet and gym.

The last time I went to the gym was August 15. I really wanted to go to there but unfortunately I have to go to my derma to do the 2nd session for my warts removal and diamond peel. So I had fresh wounds on my face. I was scared that it
would get infected by the sweat. Earlier this day I realize I have to. The main reason for me going to the gym was to get my weight. I've read an article stating that if you're on a diet and exercise you have to use the same weighing scale. I have a bathroom scale at home but the measurements are not precise. The rainy days is weighing me down. I was so sluggish it seems that all I wanted to do is sleep and eat. I was worried because I felt that I was gaining weight again. Then the moment of truth came, I stepped on the weighing scale. At first I tried to put on 225 on the meter and it didn't balance, put on 224, still unbalanced, then 223 still unbalance ... this is getting exciting then finally 222! IT BA
LANCED! I got 222 so that's another 3 lbs lost! I should be rejoicing but a part of me is saying that I could have lost more if I wasn't stubborn not to go to the gym and focus on the diet.

I'm going to tell a secret. This may be shocking, I feel that I'm turning into a bulimic. The last 2 weeks of August, when I eat a lot I would poke my throat so that all the food that I ate would come out. I feel this is unhealthy. I have to say it because some psychiatrist say that acceptance is the first step. So there, I'm Jex and I'm bulimic. I'm going to try to be a healthy eater again that's my pledge for September.

Here is the chart for the weight lost:


I needed motivation so I went to youtube and look for videos about the biggest loser contest. I stumbled upon the story of Jodie Prenger the winner of BIGGEST LOSER UK. It was so inspiring. I said to myself to focus more this sempter. On the first 7 weeks on the biggest loser camp, she lost a whopping 36lbs. If she can do it so can I. Below is the first video.

For September, I will be focusing more and I hope I will lose more!
