Let me start by sharing two thoughts Many people do need to lose fat. But not everyone need to go on a diet. We can lose fat without dieting. Diets don’t work if we don’t address the underlying issue that caused the unhealthy relationship with food and exercise. This is the root issues that cause…

I didn’t expect snapping out of an eating disorder to be this easy. It has been 14 days since I started giving myself permission to eat more and intentionally increase my level of body fat. I am doing it to recover from amenorrhea. What I have lost so far: guilt, stress, self judgement appetite /…
Why do we hate fat? Why do we run around trying to lose fat? How much fat is OK? I realised I never challenged the idea of vilifying body fat. I see the obsession we have with losing weight and losing fat but I never consciously processed it. It’s just one of those “facts”. A…
(welcome to a public session of overthinking where I talk to myself, trying to unblock and quiz my Resistance) That frustrating feeling of knowing you have a ton of potential inside, but you’re not able to fully actualize it out into the world. Consume less, produce more. Ingest less, create more. Quantity over quality. No…
If I can summarise the one skill I need to focus on training now, it boils down to this: go back to listening to my body. I am aware that my body signal is currently weak, out of whack, and could be misleading. It will take a while for it to get back into groove.…
The second mindset shift happened the last week of February 2020.

I seeked out the cause of amenorrhea. How did this happen? What did I do wrong? undereating overexercising high stress All of which impacts the hormone, and when imbalance happens, your body tries to protect yourself. If it thinks you’re not safe, then it’s definitely not safe to grow a baby. To be fair, I…
I noticed my period stopped around March or May 2017 but I decided to ignore it because it’s convenient. I need to travel for 2 months abroad so I will take care of it once I am back. All cool. I did start reading and researching about what caused it. Learned about the term for…
This is the first time I am going to talk about this publicly. I will split this into a series of post so it doesn’t read too long — addressing points about binge eating, obsession with exercise, obsession with food, recovering from amenorrhea, what I learned from the battle, and the magnitude of body image issue in society.
I can’t be the only one who finds these “work hard anywhere” photos in Instagram as silly and shady, can I? When I work, I look at screens. My sight and thought are completely glued there. I am focused. In flow. If I am at some place nice, then I want to enjoy the view…
