Hi Mr. Saint. I was thinking to repost my answer to your question. For those of you who want to lose weight, whenever I feel I just want to overeat, this is what I think in my mind, "Kaya ako naggain ng weight dahil kinain ko lahat ang gusto ko kainin, and that time I am so happy eating those food. Now its time to sacrifice a little bit, for in the end, pag pumayat ako ng konti ulit, I can start eating a little bit more of the food that I really want to eat".
Here is the answer to his question "What is your diet? Give some tips."
ooops. ayaw mapaste.. please refer po muna to the comments box, from the previous post.

Losing Weight
I have been busy with trying to lose weight that is why I haven't posted for awhile.
Let me give you a brief story about my struggle with losing weight. When I arrived here in New Zealand, that was January 2007, my goal was to lose weight. I was 76 kilograms then. What made me decide to really lose weight was because of the doctor's advice in New Zealand. She said if I lose weight and monitor my blood pressure, I could probably stop taking my hypertension medication.
So I started watching what I ate and exercised. In a span of 4 months I lost 20 kgs. I have maintained this weight for almost 2 years. The start of this year was a bit of stressful for me, because of having to learn how to drive, so I just ate what I wanted to give me comfort and I never exercised as well. Come July, I already gained 10 kgs, and was only able to wear 2 of my pants. So I told myself, this should stop.
Mid July, I started watching what I ate and exercised again. I was very determined, otherwise I will end up weighing 76 kgs again. One of the things that made me want to lose weight was the fact that I wanted to eat a lot at the Christmas season.. :-) After 4 months my efforts have all finally paid off. The 10 kgs were off, but comparing this to my 2007 weight loss, 20 kgs was lost for 4 months. Well, I think the difference was in 2007, my exercise was walking outside and this year I was walking inside the house.
I just need to keep this weight off, then I could enjoy eating on the holidays. Yehey!
