Abby Ongyanco-Lim

Actually, I’ve been wanting to do this eons ago. Finally, I’ve put up my new blog entitled fitsphere.com. This is a blog about my journey in losing weight - fitsphere.com (http://www.fitsphere.com)

During my high school and college days, I have actively join a swimming club and participated in local and international swimming competition. During those times, I was able to maintain my weight between 130-135 lbs. Though, I have a big appetite I did not gain weight during those times. Unfortunately, after graduating from college. My active lifestyle made a 180 degrees turn. My daily activities would be sitting in front of computers. And, I still have a big appetite. So, I started to gain weight. Without me controlling it in a span of 2 years I ballooned.

It was indeed heartbreaking to see old friends exclaiming “Abby, is that you? Grabeh!” How’s that? It means I’m really big and they are shocked to see my current figure now.

I am now married. So, I hear some people say that my husband love me though I’m big. But, that is not the case. I wanted to conceive. And, since I’m overweight my menstruation have not come. According to a doctor, I need to lose 20% of my current weight. In order for me to have a regular cycle. Also, I feel uncomfortable during husband gatherings. I bet you know what I mean. Typical Chinese Family Gathering where all your in-laws and blah blah are there. Just imagine!

Finally, I decided once and for all. I really need to do something.
