Assalamualaikum..
Tadi I tengok satu telemovie bertajuk “Semontel Cinta Kita”. I rasa semua orang pun akan enjoy kalau tengok cerita ni sebab memang sangat kelakar dan very relate-able dengan kehidupan kita. Walaubagaimanapun I memang tak setuju dari segi budak sekolah bercinta, dan bersusah payah nak kuruskan berat badan untuk lelaki? I mean, no girl should ever do that. If a guy needs you to be skinny to like you – he’s definitely not the one.
In a way, I setuju yang “orang gemuk” memang kena ada self-esteem yang tinggi. Only by loving your current body you can be prepared for a better, healthier new body. Tapi, I tak setuju bila orang gemuk cakap “Pedulikan apa orang kata, yang penting kita enjoy”. I get it, you love food, good food, who doesn’t? Dan memang kita tak boleh hidup dalam keadaan nak ambil peduli sangat apa orang kata tapi ini bukan lagi tentang apa orang kata. Kalau kita tak jaga pemakanan dan keep gaining weight.. Kita tak berlaku adil pada diri kita, sebab obesity is a risk factor to so many other disease.
Everyone can lose weight with healthy eating habit and exercise. I am struggling with the scale, that after 3 months of working out, I haven’t seen much reduction on the scale. But I definitely can feel my body is a lot more lean and strong than it used to be. I don’t see why people should use magic pills, or special diet regiment to lose weight. What are you rushing for? All you need is will power and maybe some aid on your mindset. Losing weight is never easy, but I know it will be worth it.
In short, you should LOVE yourself for who you are and you have to love it enough to actually make the right decision about your food intake and exercise. There’s no magic pills, it’s all calories in – calories out.
I don’t think it’s fair for the kids if parents are morbidly obese. You have to take care of yourself first before taking care of your kids. This year on the biggest loser, one of the kids on the show even talked to her mother on how she’s afraid that her mother might die if she continues to live in her current lifestyle. In this story, semontel cinta kita, one day the daughter passed out in the lawn and the parents can’t pick her up because they are all so huge and helpless! In one scene syanie even said “Dik bab kalau jatuh bangun sendiri, mak tak larat nak angkat”.
One last thing let me tell you.. Those rapid weight loss you achieve through specific diet or supplement – that is just the water you’re losing. The fat is still there, and you might destroy your muscle instead of burning fat when you starve yourself. Eat clean, and train mean to actually build muscles and burn more fat.
