Weight Gain and A plan to Diet.

Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since I posted a blog. I haven’t update anything on asianfanfics for the past month as I am struggling to focus on my exams and college. Now I am currently on three months break, that I decided to upload a new blog to talk and discuss with everyone about something that has been bothering me for years and making me feel not confident with myself. The topic that i want to discuss with everyone is about weight gains and diet. 

So to start out, when I was 14, I gained a lot of weight. This start because I was stressing out over bullies issues when I was at school and it end up causing me Isolating myself from everyone and then also leading me to eat a lot to make me feel better. Not only that, stressing out over studies leading this situation happen too. This situation continues, and I kept on eating food without knowing that I am gaining more weight . People around me keep telling me that I gained weight too much. I thought it was like a normal weight gain. At that time, I thought my bmi was normal, as I still wear size M clothing. so I keep on eating food without noticing that my food portion is getting bigger and bigger.  In the year of 2014, my clothing size changed from M to XL. And this time, I still did not realize how much weight I’ve gained and how big I have become. Times past by and my clothing size get bigger from XL to 2XL in the year of 2018. This time, again i thought I am just overweight.

My realization only hits when i got into university to pursue my degree, where the first year student have to do medical check up ( last year on September ). The doctor over there told me that I am obese stage 1. I was speechless I would say. Like I do not know that I am gonna be this big. 

I cried a lot over it and I tried to diet but failed as the pressure of studying killing me slowly too which it makes me eat more food. At this time, I actually try to accept myself as who I am. Like hey its okay if you’re bigger in clothing size, just be yourself and love yourself. 

But those loves, it gone. I was unable to love myself anymore as I get critism over and over from my family where they kept saying that I am fat like the refrigerator, I should stop eating, if i walk the whole ground is breaking. Not only that, my sister and my cousin said mean stuff to me too. There was one time where I went out with both of them, they park their car far from the shopping mall entrance. They ask me if I am okay with it, and I was like its okay, and then they told me that ‘oh just incase you feel tired of working, i means both of us are slim and you are fat, so I thought you gonna be tired of walking, haha’ . Not only that they keep making fun of my weight. Saying that i am big fat, and the most painful comment I have received was I am fat like a pig. This comments hit me a lot. I got constant critism, how I am so fat. I cried a lot over this that it kills me. Imagine, I am only 155cm, and with weight at 80kg, you can imagine how fat I am. 

So I am planning to start a diet, and I plan to do diet just like Iu or Suzy or Seolhyun. But then I changed my mind. That I need proper diet. So I wrote this blog to ask help from everyone about what should I eat, and is there any vitamins I should take , what exercise I should do or anything related to weight lost. Hopefully, I can lose weight so I can shut their mouth and hopefully, love myself. 

Thank you for reading ❤️

p/s: I wrote this using my phone so idk if there is any typos or there is some information that I did not add on. Feel free to ask me anything. ❤️

portion sizing is a good way to start. take note of how much you eat for a week then try to cut that by a certain percent. you can count calories if you want but its important to practice mindful eating. ask yourself if you are actually hungry before eating or drink a big glass of water first before a meal. while you are doing that replace any junk food with a healthier option (ie. if you eat a bag of chips try and replace it with nuts or carrots). Also drink as much water as possible, it curbs appetite and regulates your system.
of course dont do all this at once, try and see what works for you and stick with it. tbh I recommend drinking more water the most.

If you're looking for a proper diet, I'd recommend watching what you're eating especially how many calories are in it. Obviously fruits and vegetables are the best because they have low calories and are good for you. There are many mobile apps that have a good track on what you're eating and how many calories. The rule of thumb is that you eat no more than 2,000 calories a day. Eating with a small plate can trick your body into thinking you're eating a lot. Eating slowly will also make you full quickly because it takes around 20 minutes for your brain to tell you that you're full. Try not to go to sleep after you eat because that'll make you gain more weight. If you are hungry at night, eat a piece of fruit or something with low calories but don't eat too much at night.

Daily exercises are also good. Walking is a good place to start if you're not really into exercise. You should slowly start to build a ROUTINE so your body can get use to it. The problem that happened to me when I started dieting was that I went into hardcore workouts straight up and my body was aching the next day and stopped trying. Not just workouts but food as well. If you don't like the taste of vegetables or fruits, try eating it with the foods you normally eat. Your tastebuds will get use to it.

I've recently started dancing and eating more vegetables and less meat. That was when I started seeing results. Extreme diets aren't healthy, it's faster but it'll make your body weaker than healthier. I hope I wasn't harsh on
