The reminder came in the form of a psychometric assessment report which I am really glad that I had the opportunity to do.  I was very shocked to learn that as it came across several times in the report.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was also shocked to realise that I do not know what is my next step to do to take care of myself.  I know that I should do things that I enjoy.  I also should take care of my own health.  I actually feel too tired to do anything.  Based on the report, it could also be because I have been neglecting myself too much, that I have kinda dipped into my spare battery.  Actually, that kinda made sense as well.  The last few years have been very tough for me, and to say that I am tired is also a given.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think maybe I should spend sometime alone.  Just to be more in touch with myself.  That is actually quite difficult, given that I am now married.  I should find time to date myself.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that I should lose weight, to be healthier.  Honestly, I have gone through this so many times and it is a fact that I am not motivated to lose weight.  I am just so &#8220;whatever&#8221;.  I still get very affected whenever my own mother said that I am fat, or takes pictures of me in an unflattering top.  I am more disappointed with my mum rather than motivated to lose weight.  I have listed the pros and cons of losing weights numerous times.  I am very aware that losing weight brings about all the advantages.  Yet, I am still not motivated.  I seriously do not know what is wrong with me.  I know that I have bad eating habits.  I like to overly stuff myself and when I am feeling upset, I eat.  My food portion is also too much and bad.  I am aware that the only way to lose weight is to be in caloric deficit and not to rely on whatever supplements, and I am not interested to take any supplement or dieting pills to help me lose weight &#8211; I just want to do the normal exercise and healthy eating to lose the weight permanently.  I am not motivated to be in a caloric deficit state.  Which is not easy because even when I thought I was eating healthier, I was not losing weight, which meant that I am not in a caloric deficit state, which means that my eating habits are bad.  I was not moving much as well.  I know that I will enjoy exercising, but I am not doing it, I didn&#8217;t wake up earlier to take a walk, I didn&#8217;t lift any weights.  I am not motivated.  I don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s wrong with me.  I think I didn&#8217;t like the feeling of sweating and that I have to wash hair after that, and I have to be in correct exercise attire and gear.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I am starting to adopt better eating habits and observe myself more, especially in terms of how I feel, how my body feels.  Today I struggled with not being very full for lunch and had a purple rice yogurt with it. Dinner was not too satisfying and came back a bit hungry, but i took water instead of eating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did not play much with Maegan today as she was cranky. Went to pray and I am glad. Got reminded that I have to believe and think of positive stuffs to manifest the positive stuffs. Quite tired and craved for solitary time &#8211; also got reminded that it is actually just take a change in thoughts\/ perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: Everything is weird, but this is my blog, I will type what I want to type for myself.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify\">I recently got reminded that I have been neglecting self care for myself.
