bidding the round face goodbye!

(be prepared to see shocking photos of the author in this post..)

yesterday when i was looking through some of my old photos on my facebook, i was appalled, if not disgusted to find a ball hanging on my head. my face was so round that i think it would have rolled off my neck if i hadn't done something about it! haha, if you don't believe me, read on:

this was yours truly in mid 2006, during ISIS hatters' day (a busking event which i did to raise funds for singapore heart foundation) - a very revolting picture i'd say. i swear you can blackmail me with this photo on my wedding day (which will happen in about ten years' time perhaps!)



mid 2007, during arts club elections - thankfully i lost a little weight between mid to end 2006 due to rag and post-mc blues:



mid 2008, a selca i took when i was doing the UM-NUS module - bad complexion aside, i think my chin was actually quite sharp! :D but that was thanks to the severe diarrhea i had when i was in malaysia:



mid 2009, during my commencement - yes i put on weight in my final year due to thesis and exam stress! ):



and finally now, after i made a new year resolution, and stuck to it (i couldn't find an individual photo!):



well, there is no shortcut to looking good/better. but if i were to narrow it to one single factor, i'd say that self-discipline is the key to success. persevere and control your cravings but at the same time, don't be too hard on yourself. set realistic goals in very small steps, and whatever you do, remember that it has to be sustainable over a period of time.

here's wishing all my fellow flabby friends all the best! :D
