Uncontrol (YFC live version) by Gackt

I think my metabolic rate increased. I perspire easily naturally, but in junior college, due to the lack of exercise, my metabolic rate went down. While waiting for university to start, was desk bound for near 8 hours a day and too lazy to exercise. I've never been fat per se, because I was pretty active for the first 16 years of my life. Later on, I began to eat lesser when I felt I was just staying glued to my seat in air-conditioning and I was not as hungry. So I've never been fat. But now? I train 3 times a week, clean the house once a week and run on occasion. I'm starting to bulk from all the exercise, with certain areas, like my abs and back of my thighs, getting leaner and more toned. I'm eating A LOT. I have breakfast. Followed by lunch. Tea time is normal, followed by dinner and supper. Breakfast is 3 slices of bread with milk or milo. Lunch is rice with side dishes. Tea cake or pastry or bread. Dinner is rice with more side dishes. And supper is whatever I can find in the fridge. Other than all these, I usually consume dessert after dinner, or have fruit juices as well. I can usually finish the standard sets in restaurants with leftover space in my tummy for dessert. Sometimes, I have to eat something else after that, or I'd be hungry within the next 2 hours or so. So yes. I eat a lot. But its quite irritating when people say I eat like a guy. Just because I'm not meal-skipping, salad-eating and constantly saying that I'm hungry does not make me less female. I just need more food than most people to keep on going. If I'm hungry, I whine, because on an empty stomach, I'm an uber bitch. The things I'd say and do if you threaten my source of sustenance is scary, even to me. I'd snap. And bite. Yeah. I would.

I think I'm not skinny? But I would not say that I am fat either. Just normal. A wee bit of bulk on my arms and thighs, but my upper body built is small. Amusing how I have large leg joints and bones and a small torso. Slightly unabalanced aka bottom heavy? Good thing I exercise regularly enough such that no one can say that they can see all the mass at my leg wobble with every step. That would be such an eyesore! I guess it is true that as you age, your body loses its ability to just 'bounce' back into shape. I've to work harder and longer just to maintian my shape, much less lose weight!

OH YEAH. I was going to speculate that the reason for my apparently 'alright' body shape might be the fact that I've never been ona diet. or tried to be on a diet. For the first 17 years of my life, I'd never had gastritis because I've never skipped a meal or delayed a meal for an extended period of time. It was working and university that gave me problems, because my eating hours were no longer regular. In the past, I always ate whenever I was hungry, and would eat to about seventy to eighty percent full. So I always have space for dessert and extra snacks, just that I make a conscious decision not to have so much food. Being too full will make you feel bloated and naseous. So anyway, my body never had to go into starvation mode and store food because I'd been depriving it of nutrition. I ate regularly and ate well, exercising to keep my heart healthy as well. So to all those people out there who wake at 10am and have brunch, before eating dinner at 9pm... I think you'd look like a pig if you eat the way I do. Body is just not suited for the consistent intake of nutrients.

This is becoming a very strange and pointless post. Shall end this here. I'll be pretty busy with CIP stuff for the rest of July, so updates will be scarcer. Sorry, but reality is a pretty cruel taskmaster.

I shall pray hard to get my modules.
