"No Plan" Diet

In six months, I've gone from 245 lb (about 111 kg) to 215 lb (97.5 kg). Nope. Not planned at all. No slimming pills/tea/exercise/vege diet/lower grocery bills. Not a really dramatic weight loss by some standards, but my belt can now be tightened by three additional notches. The benefit: I can fit in my good pants. The flip-side: now I don't have an excuse to wear jeans to official meetings. The reason: around the middle of May, my body just decided that it didn't need that much food to function. And that carting around that much weight was killing my ankles. Yup, getting old, probably. I can still eat quite a bit if the food is really good. Just see me stuff my face at the pizza joint, steak house and sushi bar. But one packet, not two, of instant noodles for a meal is more than enough. Lee Kiang blogged a few photos she took when she visited in September. To answer the comment Wilson made that I looked tanned: try facing a computer monitor, or four, for 16 hours a day. Your face and arms will look tanned too.
