My Weight Loss Journey

6/4/2022

32 Comments

 
So I started my weight loss journey on 5th March with a starting weight of 82+ kg.
On 3rd Apr, my weight was 72.2 kg. 
29 days of effort. 
It's not over yet, I'm aiming to be under 70kg, but I'm tapering it down the weight loss will be slower and I'm starting to eat more. This is intentional. Just part of the plan.

During this past month, there's been many comments. 
Why you need to diet?
You're not fat.
Why don't you try doing <insert suggestion>.

And pretty much, most people are just finding topics to talk about. 
Unfortunately this tends to annoy me. Cos... well... I'm HUNGRY.
And these kinds of talk during this period is just annoying.
I mean like... HELLO!!! This journey is hard enough as it is without some weird comments, and me having to justify why I need/want to lose weight or why I don't want to eat. 

I've had I think 4? Maybe 5 weight loss phases in my life. 
All done in similar style and similar time frames. This time being the fastest I've ever accomplished it. 
I've done a lot of reading about diets, metabolism, insulin control, exercise, etc. 
And for me, it's been a sufficiently safe journey. I don't claim to be an expert on overall weight loss. 
I do claim to know what works for my body and my own personal weight loss goals.

Typically these comments come from older folk. It's those aunties that come up with weird comments.
Younger folk tend to understand about physical appearance, health, diet, exercise, whatever. 
Younger folk tend to not bother too much and just leave me alone. 
And the worst thing is... these older folk or folks providing "ideas"... Haven't dieted or embarked on a weight loss journey for even a day in their lives, they haven't done any reading on the subject or had any interest in a healthier lifestyle.
I think younger folk get it. Most have tried to lose weight, or embarked on some program.

There really isn't much secret to weight loss. 
Same as there isn't much secret to getting wealthier. 
Just spend less, earn more and invest. 
Similarly for weight loss, just eat less and exercise more. 

No it's not easy. 
It requires focus, commitment and sheer will.
Learnt some new techniques along this journey...
And I haven't even finished the cucumbers I bought... It's been pickled. So they will last for some time.

Great to hear from u, ERSG. Wow, 10kg in 1 month is honestly amazing. I've been interested in this topic (health, metabolism, fasting etc). Wanted to ask if u r ok w sharing some of your resources? Like certain books, videos/podcasts. Also interested in what techniques u mentioned. Thanks!

Hi TK,
Essentially I kept a caloric deficit for the first 3 weeks with light exercise.
Which is simple enough. Just eat half portion of what I usually eat.

On the 4th week, I experimented on water fasting which is only drinking water, plain coffee/tea for a period of time.
I did 3 cycles of 48 hour fasting.
Ate dinner on Sunday, then dinner on Tues, then dinner on Thu then dinner on Sat.
The speed of weight loss is very good, but I felt too taxing on the body for long term so I decided to do one cycle of 48h fast per week. Personally, I feel this is easier than controlling my meals daily.
So I can go out with friends and eat pretty normally on any other day, but on Wed and Thu, I do my fast and I plan my schedule around it. This is my current plan and I will weigh myself this weekend to see the result of this plan.

Here is one of the clips I watched on water fasting. It's quite comprehensive.

    An Interesting Email

    Author

    Male, born in 1982. 
    INTP
    Graduated with a degree majoring in Banking & Finance, Financial Adviser for a period of time resulting in in-depth knowledge of insurance products and marketing techniques of the industry.

    Inspired by MMM and ERE.

    Decided to embark on a mission to retire early in Singapore, a place where such an idea is considered impossible. As I believe that life has a lot more to offer instead of just a working career. I've decided to start a blog to note down my journey to achieve this mission and help others along the way who are willing to listen and try doing things differently from everyone else.

    I have decided to remain anonymous until I finally am able to actually retire, reason being that this idea might not gel well with the company which I am working for currently and also to avoid real life flaming from people who say that such ideas are impossible and that an individual is lazy for choosing early retirement instead of contributing to society in the form of labour.
