The Slimworld Approach

*This was the approach catered for me. I was 58kg at the time. My height is 155cm. The approach will depend on the person's condition e.g. health/fitness history, obesity etc.

I went to Slimworld after 44 days of confinement. Do note that both of my children were delivered by C-section. This really affected the treatment approach; basically my mid section was initially completely ignored. So sebenarnya agak rugi di situ sebab they succeeded in tempting me to take the stomach package after the rest of my body dah kurus (although I was happy with the end results). Sebenarnya if I had known at that time that there were simpler and cheaper albeit slower ways to a slimmer tummy, memang tak perlu pun. Tapi masa tu tak tau, and alang2 menyeluk pekasam...So kepada sesiapa bersalin normal bolehlah concentrate on one package only.

Basically women tend to accumulate fat around certain areas of the body as illustrated below:

Does it remind you of anyone?

"Tapi kau tak gemuk pun?"

Owh, ini adalah soalan biasa...Ada kalanya saya juga bersalah dalam memperlekehkan kerisauan wanita tentang masalah badan mereka. Maybe because women are so supportive/accepting of each other?

Tapi bukan ke prevention is better than cure?! Honestly, takkan nak tunggu sampai dah melarat baru nak terhegeh-hegeh? Habis tu nak tunggu sampai aku 75 kg baru nak do something about it? I have fat genes in me, so in short due to lack of health/nutrition knowledge, at 27 I was well on my way to obtaining the ultimate makcik body at 30! For those of you blessed with skinny genes, you are allowed to be smug bersyukur here.

The fact is that what a slimming centre helps the average woman do is eliminate the stubborn/hard fat that she has accumulated over the years in areas as illustrated above. And not only the subsurface fat, but those that surround and pad the internal organs as well. I lost 10 kg during the treatment. Although I accumulated 4 kg over the course of two years due to poor food choices, I did not see any substantial increase in inches, suggesting fat accumulation around organs. I am happy with my weight now, but I am currently focusing on decreasing my body fat percentage.

Of course there are other ways to losing weight, especially through a healthy diet and exercise. How many times have we heard that before? And yet women still have weight issues. Most of us weren't taught by our parents on how to live a healthy lifestyle. For me it was and still is a self-learning and self-discovery process...

*I will be addressing some queries regarding the diet and especially the $$$$$ in future posts... Stay tuned!
