Before the Circuit Breaker (7 April 2020 to 1 June 2020) , I had been attempting to lose weight cause of the doctor telling me I need to (tl;dr health reasons duh and I know what they are so you don’t have to be all wew you don’t have to bla bla, no. I actually have to). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I had been trying to do with by ordering those prepackaged meals from specific brands. Mind you, this was cause the area I worked at had such limited food options and they were so carb based. Sometimes I just wanted a nice soup but it isn’t available there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it didn’t exactly work out. I wouldn’t gain but I wouldn’t get a deficit either and sometimes the menu choices are kinda meh too that I wouldn’t finish it all since there might be too much kale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there were the Korean grain-shakes which are delicious and are supposed to be a ‘meal replacement’. That didn’t work out too that it didn’t make me gain and didn’t get me have a deficit but it did taste good so it was still a nice option when there’s still nothing around and that the cost didn’t break the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not going to link you guys the brands since you all need to see what is suited for yourselves anyway and I’m not that sort of influencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, so meal plans and meal replacement didn’t work out for me as much as I thought it would be. And you might ask, Sarah did you exercise? Yes, yes I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the thing with both, I just got so meh over the menu after awhile cause it wasn’t what I actually wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you see. This didn’t discourage me cause I was still kind of experimenting. There was a period of time when I had work and I had to run around a lot and I ate kinda… actually it was a sucky menu too because shops closed when I got out of production for the day\/night. But woah, it was so effective that I knew that it took that<\/em> much of exercise of work to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that was indeed not sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then, that I didn’t do much during Circuit Breaker to go out that I found out the secret<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating the heck I wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, what it sounds like. But I don’t want to gorge myself and whatnot. I just want food that I want and apparently on its own, they do not cross that calorie intake and it is so stupiiiid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I had to do was not eat what it should be “eaten” but eat what I actually want and that’s it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I only knew that during Circuit Breaker cause I had to work from home and I made my menu of food I actually like. Like, miso soup, salmon, salads with nice dressing or chicken and whatnot. And there was no delivery of food back then either because only essential shops were closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I really ate home food and that’s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this so called discovery, I know. It’s kinda duh when you think of it. By the time you read this post, I will do another ‘experiment’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s eating the heck I want. No deliveries (if I want it, I got to go get it myself). And the intensity of the exercise I did back then but ‘less’ and in a more compact timing form instead of a whole day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s see if this ‘experiment’ will work. All I got to do is just not forget these rules for me. And we’ll check in back with this in November 2022<\/strong>. Cause that’s when my next checkup will be and I’ll be talking to the doctor to tell her SEE I DID IIIIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
