Tape Measure please

I arrived at the office a couple of Mondays at the office feeling and looking hagard. I just arrived from Baguio then so I was quite tired, and I haven't shaved for a couple of days.

"Uy, pumayat ka ah!" (hey, you look thinner!), said some of my colleagues.

"Really?", I said. "That's impossible."

I knew it was impossible because I haven't noticed any change in my dietary habits. But they said I looked thin, so that's fine with me. In fact, I would definitely like to lose weight for a change.

My waistline back in college was 29. When I moved to Manila, it became 30, then in 2000, it was already 32. 33 was the widest waistline I had before, during the time when I was playing tennis and going to the gym. Yep, trying to make myself fit had odd consequences.

So last weekend after we had our 1 month celebration for Jo-Lo, I asked my wife to check my waistline if indeed I was getting slimmer.

I am now 34. So it's true what they say, huh? When you get married, you gain weight?

  3. waaahhhh. Cherry naman. But it's true daw. Actually may article pa yun sa Reader's Digest. It's about the meals cooked at home. Hindi tungkol sa calories, kundi about how they tend to eat more when having dinner.

    rnoldz, quiet ka lang dyan! :-)

  8. Pre watson, you have to go here in Sg to shop if you reach 36". Alam mo kung bakit? Most of the pants that are on sale here are for 36" and more waistlines, hehehe
    I also gained weight since I got married

  10. G, siguro nga kaya di ko sure kung ikaw nga yun sa Adobe seminar kasi ... mas cute ka noon. hehehe. Bespren!

    Alam mo pre Tanggers, kahit dito, mas marami ang large sizes sa sale. Parang nang-aasar sila ano?

    Hello Follen! I think na-maintain mo naman weight mo eh. Teka asan ka na? Nasa pantry ka ba? :-)

  12. Simple lang yan. You say:

    "This is not a beer belly. It's a gas tank for my love machine..."

  13. "Yep, trying to make myself fit had odd consequences."

    'Tell you what. Why not keep a food diary so you can take note of what types of food you take in? You can use this online food diary if you want.

    Exercise is still the best way to keep fit. The best dieting formula is exercise, eating the right food items with the right serving sizes at the right time, and avoiding smoking and drinking too much alcohol.

    Of course, if your wife cooks delicious food all the time, you might really have a bigger problem resisting the temptation. ;)
