$$$ for the Body You Dream of?

Some of us are lucky. Lucky to be born with good genes than govern where that extra calories the mid-day potato chips will go to on their physique. Some lucky ones gain fat on their boobs. Some on their ass. As for me... food has always been a guilty pleasure. Yes i repeat.. "guilty" pleasure.

I'm far from lucky. Being born with the "Murray" genes where calories just find a way to creep up on my waist, upper arms or thighs...Food is a inevitably guilty pleasure. I love eating. I love cream cheese and bagels or even the morning Nasi lemaks sold outside the lrt stations by vendors every morning. But i can only do that once a week. Or i'l bloat up really bad.

People say, just eat healthy and exercise. Well, i do both! Eat healthy in proper proportions and exercise (almost daily since i walk approximately 1km everyday collectively to work). But the perfect body is still far from my vision.

Don't blame me and say I'm paranoid. Being 5'3" and having a reasonably petite frame, a slight bulge shows whenever i indulge in food. I was a whopping 60kgs when i was in school! Now i am 46Kgs but my thunder thighs have not abandoned me.... can you really blame me for not trying hard enough and being paranoid??? Sighhhh....

For some of us... Like myself, eating healthy comes at a price. I never ever stinge on Food. I can pay up till 16 bucks for a morning sandwich but as long as its healthy and full of goodness, i don't mind the price tag it comes with. But yet it's not something i can afford on a daily basis, three meals a day! Gym... Sigh! alas... Gyming is so expensive i cannot afford it. I want to because i love exercising. I love sweating and the adrenaline pumping through my veins but it's an expensive lifestyle. Not to mention it will aid me in getting that body i want..Things are so expensive these days. Of course my pay is considered meagre because of all the other responsibilities living alone in a city costs me... I have to pay rental, phone bills, electricity bills, water bills, insurance bills, "soon to be added to my budget Housing loans" bla bla bla. Can you really blame me for not being able to save?

It's ridiculous how everything necessary in today's world comes with a big price tag. And there we go writing up about how obesity is a trend in our growing youth and how people are diagnosed with heart diseases earlier each year. But for healthy food and exercise which is the main way to a healthy lifestyle is barking madly expensive... I would love to buy everything organic... or have fresh mushrooms instead of canned preservatives ladden mushrooms. The price difference is of course like heaven and earth......
so what was it again about our government's intention of having Malaysians eat and live healthy???
