I remember reading this quote when I first started my 'healthy diet' thingy [sometime in early November 2011]. It really is one of my favourite motivational quotes. And it doesn't really have to be about dieting. It can also be about savings and stuff like that. Right?

Some people see Miranda Kerr, Miley Cyrus or Nina Dobrev as their inspiration to get the 'perfect' body. But for me, Kate Middleton is [almost] perfection. Not because she's thin or skinny, but because of her 'discipline & determination' to look super awesome [read: skinny (and gorgeous, of course)] for her wedding day. And for that, she is my inspiration, in a way lah.



If I could go back at this time [July & August 2011], I would punch myself in the face. Hard enough for my previous self to realise that I looked like shit all those while [I'm not saying that I look any better than shit now, but at least not like a baby elephant anymore]. *Pastu ada hati nak minat kat lelaki, pastu berangan diorang nak suka kat kau? Berangan lah sampai mati. Pfft*

Urgh. Whatevs.

Anyway, this is one of my recent pictures, in my size 16 pants. I got so obese last year that I even got the privileged to wear size 18 pants! Amazing innit what javachip-frappucino-add-caramel-syrup-and-other-sweetening-food-and-fast-food-every-week can do to my body? BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Naturally skinny/thin friends or even the normal ones, do us [me & my 'sisters'] all a favour.

1. Don't say that we have a chance with our crushes, when you know well that we don't even have the slightest chance.
2. Don't say 'You look okay. You're not that fat' to us. Not very nice.
3. Don't ask us to try out clothes that you think are nice, and can fit us nicely like them on you. Because, WHEN WE TRY THEM OUT, AND IF THEY GOT STUCK SOMEWHERE ON THE SHOULDERS/CHEST/THIGHS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT.
4. Don't write 'STAY GIGANTIC!' on the school yearbook [Not making this up. I still have this book in my room now].
5. Don't say 'we are about the same size lah!', when you are size 8 and we are size 18.
6. Don't tease us for our body size. For example: 'Try jeans kau jap. Nak rasa cemana pakai size besar'.

Ah well, the list can continue forever. But those are some of the things that I experienced myself. And it hurt my feelings so bad, that I can remember every single one of it very clearly.

Bukan berdendam. Tapi tulah. Susah nak lupa kot.

Anyway, I don't question 'why now. And why not then?'. Things happen for reasons that we don't know. I'm sure Allah SWT knows what's best for me. I'm sure He thinks that I wasn't ready then. He waited for me to be older & a bit wiser for this 'miracle' to happen to me. And for that, I'm very grateful to Him.

Here's one of my favourite quotes by Oprah:

"There are no coincidences. There are none. Only divine order."

p/s: On a happier note. After exactly 6 months of working out & dieting [4 November 2011 - 4 May 2012], I have lost 25 kilograms in total. Alhamdulillah. Got to work hard as usual for the last few kgs!

Didn't take lots of pictures. Because my friends and I had to be the pengirings for our Hud Hud. I left my phone with my friend to snap some pictures while the six of us had to do our task. As always, I was nervous like crazay. At one point, I even felt like vomitting. Yeah, drama queen much. I know.

p/s: skipped Wedding #2 because it was my mother's friend's son wedding. And I didn't take any pictures anyway.
