Pulling the weight...

All this talk about eating yesterday had got my appetite running wild. I spent one whole day discussing one food after another with friends and colleagues.. hehehe...

However, I am allowed to do so laaa.. because I am as skinny as a stick. I am the type that can eat a whole lorry full of yummy chocolates and will not gain weight. The only time I gained so much weight was back in form 4-5, where we were fed 6 times a day! Tuh pun the maximum weight reached was 52 kg.

Yeah.. I'm way under weight. If I were to measure my weight against my height (I am 5' 7" tall and my weight is 50kg, convert it here), weight-height chart(see below) will show that I am not even in the colored area.. Underweight! However, I am almost there laa.. 7 more kgs to gain and it'll be perfect. Tough! How to gain 7 kgs ek?




All these while, the only indicator that will show that I'm eating well (makan banyak) is when my cheeks turn chubby. Not cherubs-chubby laa, just cute tembam chubby *winks*. Looking at myself in the mirror for the past few days, I've noticed that they are a little bit tembam now.. Good sign laa kan... And this was confirmed by a dear friend yesterday when the first thing he said to me (after 5 months of not seeing each other) "Eh, dah tembam sikit".. Yipee!. Tembam sikit is definitely good.

Knowing me, the tembam-ness will not stay long. This is due to the fact that my eating cycle is not well balanced. Few weeks I'll be pigging out on all the sinful foods (like right now, am munching on double choc chip & pecan nut famous amos cookies) and another few weeks I'll just settle for 2 meals a day (sometimes just 1 meal). It's not something that I have control over. It's the hormones (yeah.. blame it on the hormones.. they can't talk back).

Some people say that I might be able to put on some weight after marriage. However, looking at my mom, I don't think it will change anything.

So, how about you? Care to share any tips to gain weight?
