71 KG and counting

No disrespect to my friends who have always been a bit heavier than me, but I never imagined I'd get heavier than 145 pounds (about 65KG plus change). When I visited the doctor last week, I was officially at 71 kg. And I don't like it.

So now, after talking about my test results (normal BP, no more pus in the urine, and except for the relatively high cholesterol everything else is a normal blood chemistry), I'm on a low cholesterol diet.

Of all the diet suggestions out there, I've decided to follow my friend Rach's suggestion. Oatmeal for breakfast and half-rice with dinner, and watch the animal fat. This is going to be hard to do. But I guess it should work. I do need more soup, vegetables, fruits and less of fried food.

Rach mentioned that she's been having (unflavored) oatmeal for breakfast for the past seven years.

I also have another friend who has oatmeal for lunch at the office. Albert has been having a big battle with his weight for some time now.

And now I'm in the same boat: oatmeal on a regular basis. Waaaahhhh!!!! It does need some getting used to. So far, I've had oatmeal for lunch and/or breakfast these past few days. I really need to get down to around 140 pounds. Though I think I would be more comfortable with 135 pounds (and back to a skinny butt, hehehe).

Oh well. This will need lots of work.
