i wanna lose weight!

i hate being a woman sometimes, especially in this little suny island. when i was over at down under, i feel good because the australians were usually bigger than me. but back home, most of the gals are stick-thin! argh... why is it so easy for me to put on weight and so difficult to lose them? in the span of the last six months, i must have put on at least five kgs! horrible, horrible!

i wanna lose weight! i wanna lose ten kilograms and i wanna lose one kg each week. if i can succeed in doing that, i will be my ideal weight by x'mas!! yippees!! i shall go out and buy a nice little black dress to wear for this year's x'mas party!

i signed up with a slimming centre yesterday. yes, i hear u all - the right way should be controlling my diet and exercising! but i just keep getting bigger because of the muscles. diet wise, i've already cut down on my carb intake (little rice or noodles) and eat more meat and veggies. yucks... i guess i am just lazy and i want another way out... so this is just one method that i'm going to try and hopefully, i will be able to lose some weight!

y'day was the first session. first, i was asked to sit in the steambath for about 15 - 20 mins. following that, one of the gals came and scrub me with some herbal stuff. she scrubbed the problem areas then asked me to go back into the steambath for another 15 - 20 mins. i was then asked to rinse off the scrub. following that, i went into one of the treatment rooms and was told to lie down so that the consultant can put patches onto various lymphnode points. i was then 'electrocuted' for an hour. this treatment was to 'detox' my body, according to the consultant. after the machine treatment, the same lady applied a bottle of ampoule, together with some white cream onto problem areas of my body and wrapped me up with... get this... 'cling' wrap!! i felt like a chicken, marinated and getting ready to be baked! and baked, i was... i was told to lie down and she covered me with a heat blanket... and i felt like i was literally being cooked alive... i must have been 'baking' for about 45 mins at least! the four hours of 'torture' ended with me losing 500g and 2cm average on my problem areas... all according to the measurements of the consultant. i doubt it though, since i was never allowed to look down (whether its to see the machine or the measuring tape). but i'll still give them my benefit of doubt.... coz the only way to know for sure is my clothes feel loose on me, isn't it? and i am sure that will not happen after one session... so i'm keeping my fingers crossed! for now, i still have to take that yucky meal replacement drink... :(
