~Speaking of heavy~
I just weighed myself today during dinner. Yes, I got up half-way while eating, as I spotted my flatmate's weighing machine and weighed myself.
I didn't really wanna weigh 'cos of the horror that I might put on loads of weight! I know that I've put on weight but I didn't exactly wanna know by how much! I was so scared to see that my weight is 60kg! By the way, I'm only 1.6m so yes, I'm overweight.
But the contradiction was that I do wanna know how much I weigh. As I stepped on the machine, I was waiting in anticipation. Horror-stuck! Or rather a really puzzled-look plastered itself on my face.
I can't believe the weight I'm seeing! "No! This can't be it", I thought. I was waiting for the needle to go past 50kg so that I could close my eyes and just peep at the weight hoping by doing that I won't be so horrified. But I was wrong. It never came! I mean the moment when the needle go pass 50kg.
It stopped at 50! Or rather it's a little short of 50. Around 49.5kg.
This is impossible! I can't be 50kg! I know I've put on weight and before I came here I was 55kg! I told my k-po flatmate who came to see my weight that it's impossible. She was like no, it's correct, if it is not, that's mean I did not lose weight. My the other flatmate then volunteer to weigh herself and check if the weighing machine is right since she knows her weight and she proclaim that it is right!
It's not right I tell ya. I know it is not! I blame it on the gravity. If I'm not wrong, I think I've read before that at different parts on earth there is different gravitational force. So there, that explains why I'm lighter here!
Hmm...if that's true....I wonder is that why people here don't think they are overweight although they really are. 'cos we weigh heavier at s'pore mahz but lighter here. You get what I mean? You know, for example, like me. I weigh myself at s'pore and think, "alamak, I'm overweight." Then when I come here I see someone the same size as me and think she like me, overweight, but she don't think so 'cos she knows her weight here and it's in the ok region.
Then again, the overweight region here is higher than in s'pore. 55kg for me in s'pore would be overweight and here would be ok. So won't that mean that those who are overweight and obese are even more overweight and obese than they think they are?
