My journey (back) to SLIMVILLE.

A little background story.

Last August (2013), I got pregnant and immediately quit smoking. 

So you see, this is the equation I have worked out: 

Quit Smoking with Immediate Effect = drastic decline in metabolism rate

Pregnancy = eat a lot thinking it's for the baby and a lot of pampering from family, especially hubby

Therefore, Quit Smoking with Immediate Effect + Pregnancy = Gaining 8 kg!!!

I'm not kidding, 8 bloody kg. (actually it ain't bloody, so 8 fatty kg?)

My super old joke used to be when I gain a kilo or two, I'll complain shit about it (as would most girls I guess), and then the "empathetic" listener (usually my hubby) will go "oh 2 kg only la, that's not a lot what.." Then I will rebut "2 kg leh, you know you go market and buy 2 kg of pork how big chunk is it?!"

I have been telling this joke from 2 kg to 8 kg.

This was 2007 when I was 21. #bikinibridge before it was even in.

This was 2012 when I was 26. Still slim but had a bit of tummy.

 This is how I will look if I were to suck in my tummy.

This is also 2012, still sexy. HAHA!

Now to compare my face...2012 I had a sharp chin and a nice jawline.

This is 2014, I'm lucky my chin is sharp so sometimes my face doesn't look that round in certain angles...

 But like here, you can see how round my face got in just 2 years. I think I accidentally ate up my jawline.

[If you wish to see how my body looks like now, scroll below...]

So then, after I lost my pregnancy and miserable with my 8 kg of weight gained and of course persistent persuasion from the slimming centre, I signed a slimming package in desperation last November.

I started going for fat freeze sessions, LPG, RF and some weird chinese cupping cum gwasha treatments until February 2014 when I was suddenly found to have some medical condition which required monitoring of my situation and escalated to a surgery. Thus I stopped my treatments from February till now (August). However, I would like to note that between the period of November 2013 - February 2014 when I was actively on these slimming sessions, there were no changes in my weight nor my proportions. They told me it was because I had too much water retention during my pregnancy and it is hard to be rid of as it is still too soon after the pregnancy.

Anyhoos, now that it's been more than a month after my surgery and I am not able to try to conceive for the next 4-6 months due to a preventive injection for my medical condition, I decided to continue with my slimming treatments.

So, here's me blogging on my experience.

My first session after the 6 months break was on 19 August, the lady who was appointed to help me with my treatment recommended that I do LPG to detox as I have not been doing my treatments for some time.

So this treatment requires me to wear a stocking body suit. The only holes of this one piece body suit is the neck hole and the 2 holes for my hands to come out, so imagine how hard it is to put on.

This is the machine that does the LPG.

OH wait. I suppose you want to know what does LPG stands for and what does it do?

Here's what I googled:

Treatments are administered with the new Ergodrive head, which is equipped with LPG's patented, independent motorised rollers. The ROLL'Up, ROLL'In and ROLL'Out action gently yet intensively conditions skin tissue to eliminate fat deposits, revitalize blood and lymphatic circulation (i.e. ROLL'Up), and reactivate lipolysis (e.g. ROLL' In action is responsible for more than 70% of the fat elimination). With the multiple rotational differentials of the ROLL modalities, LIPOMASSAGE is also able to stimulate the collagen and elastin production and firm slackening skin (i.e. ROLL'Out).

This is the rollers as mentioned in the write up, it pinches my fats/flesh/skin as it is rolled around my body - arms, back, thighs, buttocks. (She did not touch the stomach area as that is where my surgical scars are.)

I guess you also want to know how fat I got with 8 kg.

Here you can see my shapeless hips which will morph into muffins top when I wear my panties/shorts/skirts.

Thank goodness for having boobs, at least. Oh I am covering my tits in the photos as the body suit is super sheer and they gave us measly pieces of tissue to act as nipple tape. 

I also desperately need to get rid of my flabby and non-deflatable tummy. I know you are thinking, it doesn't look that bad...HELLO, you think I'd put how uglily flabby and fat I really am on a blog? Of course I chose the best few of the fat photos to show la! Fat also must fat prettily what.

During the 1 hour session, the lady had to operate the machine at the lowest and mildest level (or so she claimed) as I was squirming in pain. I tried to tolerate as best as I could as I did not want her to turn the machine to the lowest as I wanted to get the full benefit out of it. But every time I squirmed a little, she would ask me if it's too painful and she would lower the power. It's not easy to not squirm as it felt like 5 knuckles pinching all my sensitive parts (inner thighs, inner arms, etc) at each point.

The next day after the session, I had muscles aches on my thighs and buttocks, it felt like I had done some squats...but then again, I did climb up 8 storeys to my home cos I wanted to work out a little after the slimming session.

Almost a week after the session, I have weighed myself and looked at myself in the mirror, I don't see any significant changes yet. I guess I will need to keep up with my sessions to know.

So for now, I need to get from this figure back to...

This figure.

(By the way, please don't say I look fine. I know I'm not that huge but I would like to go back to how I used to be...)

So, till next session then!
