the days when...

..i was in college in cebu, studying occupational therapy, i was still a lithe 118 pounds. i know thats still heavy, but that was my skinniest, and for my structure, i looked really thin then.

do i miss it?

oh so much so, whenever i pass by shops where i could easily grab a dress, and put it on. but this time, i am sadly put off buying anything because nothing looks good on me. not even to my own eyes.

when i was in this weight, i was hardly sleeping, i was eating small regular meals (college meals of 1 cup rice/matchbox pieace meat/soup ration, a snack if lucky), and i was in the dance troupe for the cdc, and i was swimming too.

now? the only cardio i get is the walk from the house to the parking lot. and food is big portions and not as regular.

so there's no question why the weight is piling on.

the question now is what am i doing about it? non.

except, if you call threatening myself to not buy a single new dress/top/clothing unless i drop 2 sizes off which was the size i was on for the longest time.


lets see if that threat works.

(disclaimer: shoes dont count. its not part of the threat,LOL).

im the one on the left, kneeling in the front...




im the one pointed by the arrow..i had retainers then..





still pointed by the arrow..christmas parties of our class..

i used to hate my body then, and i wished i had washboard abs. it goes to show we never get satisfied for what we have.

if i will magically revert to this frame now, i would thank the heavens, and hit the shops to buy clothes im itching to wear. nothing fashionable, just stuff i cant stomach wearing because it feels "not right",haha.

its nice to see old photos , non?

all the more reason, we should take more photos everyday..so that one day we dont tut our tongues and curse ourselves for not taking more photos when we could have.x

how about you, share your old photos..i wanna see you from years past..
