I just watched “My Big Love” (starred by Sam Milby, Toni Gonzaga, and Kristine Hermosa) on DVD last Monday night and I just can’t get over it. I remember the days when I was fat, from 170lbs. down to 120lbs. now. While watching this movie, I realized that I was actually facing a mirror. I’ve been there with all those five steps that Aira (Toni Gonzaga) is asking Macky (Sam Milby) and all of her clients to learn by heart.

1. Goal Setting - At first, I want to lose weight because I want to attract more guys and get laid. But eventually, I’ve realized that I have to do it for myself and not for anyone else.
2. Start Today - It took a year for me to get serious with my workout. But I’ve realized that I was actually wasting my money, paying the gym monthly dues without progress. Tsk tsk.
3. No Shortcuts - I didn’t take any diet pills. I did vigorous cardio exercises, especially cycling classes, and also a strict no-rice diet.
4. Motivate Yourself - It keeps me motivated when people around me can see that I’m really losing weight. And as Fitness First would always say, “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”
5. Be Happy - Be happy with what you have achieved, and don’t deprive yourself too much.

But weird isn’t? When I was fat, I had a lot of steady relationships compared today, or should I say I don’t have any relationships to call now. Just a lot of new and returning hookups, but no one is come back for a relationship. Maybe I should be fat again, so I can have my lovelife back where it was before. Sigh.
