Shrinking?
Ever since coming back from Malaysia, I seem to have been losing a little bit of weight. Shocking! Even more shocking because I have not put forth any concerted to try and lose weight, but when I have tried (with little consistency) it hasn't worked.
I didn't even notice until I tried on these jeans, which before used to suffocate my thighs and calves, and found that they were loose!
I've got several hypotheses about this sudden weight loss. It must be that food here is so off-putting compared to the delicious and superior food I had for nearly a month that I haven't eaten as much as I used to. Plus, I don't force myself to finish everything anymore; I realize that portions in America are simply too big for my body. Lastly, without getting too graphic, I take a dump way more than I used to--like once a day or every other day. It must be a good thing, right? I've usually only gone once every couple of days, and that is when I presume I was eating more! On that same note, I think I am going a lot more because I just drink, drink, drink--a lot.
Thanks to my trusty new Stanley thermos cup, I have been taking advantage of the green tea supplies at work and and end up drinking all shift. As a result, I unwittingly skip what usually would be a cafeteria dinner and hold off on eating until I get home every night!
I hope these habits keep up, because I am horrible at achieving my goals and give up too easily.
