Mei-Shun has gained one more sugar bag since she started walking in the morning. Sooo shocking, yet there is always a reason why her tyre around the waist grows. It is simple; she has eaten too much. And she knows well the easiest way to lose weight; she should eat less. Exercise is good for health, while never means she can consume all energy she happily took in.

Missing Leptin?
StandardMei-Shun read an interesting, while a little scary article. Researchers on obesity said that the bigger weight you lose, the easier you will regain it. It is caused by leptin, a hormone secreted from adipocytes, inhibits appetite and activates metabolism. Obese people lose a lot of weight along with leptin, therefore tortured by serious hunger and limited energy consumption in resting state all the time. The only consolation is that she has been plump for almost half her life so far, rather than obese.
A Professional
Standard… in diet Mei-Shun could be called actually. Since her junior high school days, she has repeated weight loss and gain. It never seems good for health, the more you lose and gain sugar bags all over the body as insuline spike does in blood. Her goal is to reach BMI 22 first of all, and keep it as long as possible — for her whole life, hopefully.
Fools’ Day?
StandardAnyway, Mikan-chan shows that our fiscal year has started. And Mei-Shun’s resolution to lose several sacks of sugar put all over her body is so firm. It would take a whole year; half a year to reach the goal, another half to keep it. She has succeeded in the former many times while always failed the latter. She hopes that current walking (planned to lead to running), her first experience to employ, would work.
Hope It Works
StandardMei-Shun’s left eye has 90% healed. A red spot is still above the iris, yet seems to have no problem with glasses. She looks forward to taking lessons of Japanese dance and horseback riding next week. During a whole week of stay-at-home, she made a slight effort to lose a piece of tyre around the waist.
A Big Tyre
Standard… Mei-Shun has grown around her waist. It occurs every year actually, since she has too much sweets, feasts and alcohol of great taste from the end of December to the middle of January. Now she started to reduce carbo, her favorite, in diet. It is the most feared to get weight back immediately, so good cooking to enjoy every necessary nutrient is the key.
Fat Please?
StandardMei-Shun has a sore throat these days. A slight cold it may be, yet seeing a doctor without reservation would exacerbate her condition in this season. Just take home medicine, gargle and sleep well. And sick body seems to crave more energy. She invited her mom-in-law to lunch on a mountain of Chinese fried rice and ice cream.
365th Step!
StandardIt seems one of great joys allowed only to grown-ups: we enjoyed chatting on Japanese sweets sent from Mei-Shun’s mother after dinner, late at night. Such a style of eating is awful for a good diet? Ah-ha. You are exactly right. Green tea could give damage to a sound sleep? Well, we know they say so. We would see anybody who could be good to us as Jessie, Ariana and Nicki do.
Hard or Soft
StandardWhich fruits do you prefer? Mei-Shun does the former while Shin the latter for persimmon, apple, banana, etc. They are all good for morning salad, adding cucumber in one-bite cut. Hot tea, milk and this would make your day energetic.
After 23 Wks
StandardSo is a sigh of relief again. Mei-Shun feels so happy to see Dr. A, ever smiling to give a report of no problem once a month. After this “ceremony”, a small party is waiting for her at home; a sundae in the refrigerator. Her diet normally allows sweets only in the morning, yet such a treat helps her continue it.
