People fear of dieting because they are afraid that they will have gastric. What many people doesn't know that if they do not practice balance diet soon, they may or will get these medical problem that connected to the health of our tummy:-

Gastrointestinal (dealing with stomach & intestines - sistem penghadam mcm perut, usus, dll)

-   Gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD, chronic symptom of mucosal damage caused by stomach acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus. GERD caused heartburn, trouble swallowing, increased salivation, chest pain, nausea, etc. (Kerosakan/masalah pada membran mukosa, lapisan kulit dalam, yg disbbkn asid perut naik dari organ perut ke esofagus/kerongkong. GERD akan menyebbkn pedih ulu hati, kesukaran utk menelan, sakit dada, muntah2, dll. ) -       Fatty liver disease, or in this case, Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD, occured when fat is deposited into the liver NOT due to excessive alcohol use. It is related to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.. (Masalah pembuangan lemak ke organ hati yg bukan dissbkn oleh penggunaan arak/minuman beralkohol yg berlabihan. Penyakit ini boleh dikaitkan kepada masalah kerintangan insulin and sindrom metabolisma.) -    Cholelithiasis or gallstones. The risks increases for females, especially before menopause. Caused by combination of factors including inherited body chemistry, body weight, gallbladder motility and perhaps diet. (Masalah batu karang ginjal. Risiko utk menghidap penyakit ini adalah lebih tinggi terhadap kaum wanita yg belum menopause/monopos. Penyakit ini adalah disbbkn penggabungan pelbagai faktor seperti reaksi kimia tubuh badan yg diturunkan dari ibubapa, berat badan, pemakanan dan pergerakan batu karang.)

When you see an obese person throwing their gut out in the toilet, don't get judgemental yet. It does not mean that they are being bulimic to get skinny. They might have GERD.

AND don't get assumption that obese people do not get gastric. I know that feeling when I say I got gastric, doubtful mocking eyes that say "YOU? Gastric? Didn't you eat enough?" staring at me like I was saying something ridiculous. 

For non Malaysian/Sabahan readers, I don't know if you use the same term, but please note that when a Sabahan says s/he is having gastric, it does not necessarily means s/he got an gastric ulcer. S/he is either saying s/he threw up gastric/stomach acid or severe gastric pain from a mucosal erosions. A Sabahan will insist that s/he is having gastric "only" and will never admit it is a gastric ulcer until s/he is admitted to the hospital for the illness. We are just awesome like that. *note the sarcasm*

Till next time, gorgeous!

Have you heard of the quote "What you eat is what you are"? 

I bet every heard and understand what it meant. 

But does anyone have any idea how food can effect your skin? 

Hah! Everybody knows that. We just don't practice it much.

So here are the medical problem what obesity can effect the biggest organ in human anatomy:-

Dermatology (dealing with skin problems - berkaitan dgn kulit)

-      Stretch mark or scarring of the skin caused to tearing of the dermis and due to rapid stretching of the skin with rapid growth or rapid weight changes. Will diminish overtime but do not completely dissapear. (kesan regangan atau kesan luka pada kulit yg disbbkan koyakkan pd lapisan dermis kulit yg juga diakibatkan regangan pesat pd kulit dengan pertumbuhan mendadak atau perubahan berat badan/kegemukan yg mendadak.) -    Acanthosis nigricans is a condition where the skin on body folds such as posterior and lateral folds of the neck, groin, forehead, etc formed a velvety hyperpigmentation     (Hyperpigmentasi kulit pd bahagian2 yg boleh membuat lipatan seperti leher, celah kangkang, dahi dll.) -     Lymphedema water retention and tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system (penahanan cecair yg menyebabkan anggota badan yg terlalu ‘penat’ atau tidak diberi rehat secukupnya, bengkak) -     Cellulitis, not cellulite, localized or diffuse inflammation of connective tissue with severe inflammation of dermal and subdutaneous layers of the skin. (Selulitis, bukan selulit, keradangan pada kulit yg boleh disbbkan pergerakkan tubuh lalu menyebabkan penggeseran antara kulit.) -      Hirsutism, excessive hairiness on women, on parts hair does not normally occur like moustache and beard caused by the rising of androgens, the male hormones. There are evidence implicates high circulating level of insulin (where the body resist against it) on women with hirsutism. Experimental treatments that lower insulin levels lead to reduction in hirsutism. (satu kondisi yg kebykannya terjadi pd kaum hawa dimana bulu/rambut tumbuh di bahagian tubuh yg biasanya tidak berlaku seperti misai dan janggut. Terdpt satu kejian yg membuktikan, kandungan darah pd wanita yg menghidap hirsutism mengandungi jumlah insulin yg tinggi. Bila perubatan percubaan dgn mengurangkan kandungan insulin dilakukan terhadap wanita tersebut, sindrom hisutism berkurangan.) -       Intertrigo is an inflammation of the body fold by bacteria and fungal. (Kurap, Radang kulit di bahagian lipatan yg terjadi kerana jangkitan kuman & kulat)

Bones are not only to help us to move around and about, we have bones because we need them to support our heavy muscles. Not to forget, bones like the rib-cage and skull are to protect the important but fragile organs like the brain, heart and the lungs. Oh! The bone marrow, soft flexible tissue on the heads of long bones like the femur, help us to produce red blood cells. 

So here what obesity can effect our bones:-

Rheumatology & Orthopedics (dealing with the joints & human musculoskeletal system - berkaitan dgn tulang lembut, ligamen tulang & tulang2)

-        Gout (Gaut) -        Poor mobility (pergerakan terhad/terganggu) -      Osteoarthritis normally affects older people where the joints wear out. There are suppose to be a layer of of surface of the joint but wear out due age and exposed the naked bone to rub against other naked bone. It cause stiffness, pain and may be swelling. Can be prevented with drinking calcium (Biasanya terjadi pada org tua dimana sendi terasa sakit/pedih/ngilu akibat keradangan ringan yg timbul akibat gesekan diantara ujung tulang penyusun sendi. Diantara tulang2 sendi bisanya terdapat satu lapisan rawan dan apabila meningkat umur, rawan tersebut menjadi nipis dan akhirnya hilang akan mengakibatkan masalah osteoartritis. Kondisi ini boleh dicegah dari awal dengan memperbanyakkan minum susu berkalsium tinggi) -      Low back pain, in this case, caused by extreme obese/huge belly and lack of exercises. (sakit pinggang disbbkan kegemukkan yg melampau/ perut buncit dan kurang bersenam.)

I have quite the problems when it comes to back pain when I was still an obese. That reminds me, everytime I consume foods with high Ajinomoto (monosodium glutamate), I'm not sure and haven't have any expert opinion on this but I think it is from the MSG, I got such terrible back pain that would spread to my feet and head. It annoys the hell out of me and decided to leave Ajinomoto for guesses food instead of mine. Hehe..

Next health risk in Obesity will follow right up after this.

An Apology Post For You

Note: I am dedicating this post to a lovely friend, the ever beautiful Lala.

Ooopsie daisy! 

My dear friend, Lala, message me over the weekend saying how she waits for my weekly post of DIET 101 and I realize something, I FORGOT TO POST MY WEEKLY DIET 101 FOR LAST WEEK! 

Therefore, I would like to send my apology to all of you who have been waiting for it. 

I know I shouldn't have to mix up my apology with my excuse, but I must tell that I forgotten about it because I have problem with my computer. May be there is a virus or "kacau-ware" in my computer, so I had to transfer all of my things in my CPU memory into my external hard-drive. I was busy doing all those things, plus some works in the office and keep looking out on the Norikoh issue and plus nohohing nogi, lupa daaaa.....

Sorry, minta maaf, 对不起... 

And I am very flattered that Lala said I inspire her when it comes to dieting. I am always happy whenever people say or ask how I have lost my excessive weight. But being said to inspire someone, that gave a whole new feeling to me. It gave me new hope and quite flaming my determination. Thank you, Lala. Your message makes me want to keep blogging.

Since I forgotten to post the regarding post, I will post two of it on the same day this Friday. 

So please stay tune.

5 Pakistanis Men Arrested For Rape And Murder Of An Underage.

Update 3 Dec 2012: Like I have said, this thing surely become a political issue. Is it  a good thing or pathetic? I am not sure either. But politics sometimes help to solve this kind of things. Hope and pray for Norikoh.

Update 30 Nov 2012: Here some newspaper cuttings that reported that the victim was not rape and killed like it was claimed by the social media.

I took the photo and upload it here from 1SS FB Page

I took the photo and upload it here from JLyna Benton Lance

Okay, so how did the individual who spreads the earlier claims got his info? I really would like to know. What a sad story of the victim. Give a round applaud to the police to for their responds for this matter. 

I have to say that those people who heard the story and start lashing out with bad words, threatening to kill those immigrants and made racist remarks are... I can't find of an appropriate word... ungraceful if I may? We kept telling ourselves as the polite, kind-hearted and intelligent when we act obnoxious, unintelligent and barbaric. 

Like I said, no matter what is the suspects ethnicity, race and nationality, he/she/they should be trialed and if found guilty, a punishment that is commensurate with the crime committed. 

P/s: Of all the chaos, who are we to judge? only the victim and the criminal would know what happened between them. I believe that Karma do exist. What goes around will back come around. May be not now or tomorrow; not this life or another. But if afterlife exist, God will definitely pay the hell out of the individual/s who did this to the girl. My prayers and my sympathy are for the victims family as well. It must be very hard on them duringthis period of time. 

Update 29 Nov 2012: Police had denied both rape claim and involvement of Pakistanis Nationality with the incident. Police also urge witness, especially Mr John Charles Mitah Mikat to lodge a report if he possess any evidence to his claims.

Mangsa adalah gadis berumur 15 tahun. Dipercayai telah dirogol oleh lima orang pekerja kedai perabot yang berasal dari Pakistan. Mangsa ditemui pada 1p.m, kelmarin. Laporan polis telah dilakukan pada hari yang sama. Suspek kemudiannya telah berjaya ditangkap hari ini ketika suspek cuba mengembalikan MyKad mangsa. 

Kejadian bermula pada pagi kelmarin. Mangsa dikatakan menemani kakak dan sepupunya mencari kerja di Pekan G. Di pekan yang sama mangsa dan kakak dan sepupunya pergi ke sebuah kedai perabot. Mangsa yang ingin membeli sebuah almari telah dibawa ke tingkat atas oleh pekerja kedai perabot terbabit kerana dikatakan ada almari yang lebih cantik lagi di tingkat atas kedai. Kakak dan sepupu mangsa meninggalkan mangsa seorang diri dikedai tersebut (mungkin untuk mencari kedai2 lain yang menawarkan kerja kosong). 

Beberapa jam kemudian mereka menyedari mangsa hilang dan membuat laporan polis. Mangsa semasa kemudiannya ditemui dengan keadaan yang amat menyayat hati; dengan mata yang hampir terkeluar, rambut kusut, mulut ternganga dengan kesan merah, jari-jemari terpisah dan kejang manakala sebelah kakinya bengkok. 

Melalui bedah siasat, doktor mengesahkan mangsa telah dirogol berkali-kali lebih daripada seorang lelaki. Menurut saksi, mangsa telah dihumban melalui sebuah lori yang disyaki milik kedai perabot tempat terakhir mangsa lawati.

(translate for general reading)

A 15-year-old girl was raped and later killed by five (5) furniture shop employees , who are also believed as Pakistan Nationality. The victim was found 1 P.M yesterday. A police report had been made on the same day and suspect was arrested today when the suspect tried to return the victims MyKad (Malaysian Identification Card)

It all begins yesterday morning, when the victim accompanied her sister and a cousin to look for job at 'G' Town. They went to a furniture shop together at the same town. The victim, who wanted to purchase a cupboard, was brought to the upper level of the store because the furniture employee said there are more and better looking cupboards upstair. She was alone while her sister and cousin left her and went to another store (probably to look for vacancy at another store).

The sister and cousin realize that the victim is no where to be found few hours later and decided to make a police report. The victim was later found in a tragic condition; her eyes were almost bulged out, messy hair, gaped mouth with red marks, separated fingers (I am not clear what they mean by this) and strained while one of her foot was crooked.

Through an autopsy, the doctor validated that the victim was raped repeatedly by more than one (1) individual.Witness said that the victim was thrown from a lorry, which suspected to be owned by the same furniture store, which is also the last place where the victim was located.

-----------------------------------------------

It is yet another brutality against women. I was not bothered by the suspects nationality, but I am extremely unhappy that such an tragic incidents could happen to a beautiful young lady. Very young with many opportunities and experiences to venture out. 

I know people out there would talk about how Pakistan this, PATI there, illegal immigrant and all sorts of political issues would probably screams out on the paper tomorrow. But the fact that the girl is underage and was raped before murdered CANNOT BE IGNORED!

No matter what the nationality is or the ethnicity are, they are 5 suspects that needs to be trialed. If found guilty, SEND THEM TO THE GUILLOTINE!!! 

Prayers and condolences to the victims family.

OOPS! OFF TOPIC!

Not many problem regarding psychiatry in obesity. But that doesn't mean that they are minor. In fact, psychiatry problem usually prone to lead bigger health issue toward the subjects.

Psychiatry (dealing with mental problems/disorder - berkaitan dgn kesihatan mental)

-        Depression in women (Kemurungan dikalangan kaum wanita) -        Social stigmatization is the extreme dissaproval/discontent with a person on the ground od characteristic that distinguish them from other members of a society. (Stigma sosial terjadi apabila sesuatu kelompok tidak dpt menerima kondisi seseorg yg lain kerana percaya bahawa org tersebut melawan sosial norma yg ada/biasa bg kelompok tersebut.)

I said before, psychiatry lead to bigger health issue because Depression sometimes can lead the subjects to eat more because eating make them "feel" good. It makes the subject feel happy like they are in the right place. Like when I was obese, when somebody mock how heavy, unhealthy and ugly I look in my "fat suit", I tend to eat more. I make myself felt better that way and have this unhealthy thinking that those people who said like that to me could never have this indulgence ever. 

The Lobo once said: "The wound that cannot be seen nor bleed hurt more than the visible one." I couldn't agree more.

Have you heard of the "50 Shades of Grey"?

Bukan Sasha Grey the former porn star kio!
Pic from http://fraenrico.carcosa.it/?p=1533

So 50 Shades of Grey is a trilogy erotic novel. 

When I say erotic, it REALLY IS AN EROTIC NOVEL! 

But it is not erotic like girl kiss girl or boy kiss boy OR girl kiss & S*Xing boy. It is extremely erotic in terms of BDSM. 

BDSM is a type of softcore and hardcore sexual act/activity that includes Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, Masochism. Thus the name BDSM.

Before you say eww! some more, the idea of the novel 50 Shades of Grey, was supposed to be an adult fan-fic for Twilight. Ya, the vampire books & movies. So basically, it was like the softy vampires kena kasi jadi goth and dark balik. Add some whip, cuffs segala. -- my stomach starts to turn....

I am not sure if the actual early version of the fanfic punya characters are vampires. BUT, 50 Shades of Grey is about a male and female protagonists who discover love through BDSM. 

I haven't read the novels but I did read the synopsis. I quite like the plot but considering the fact that it is an erotic novel.... I don't know if I want to buy it or not. Imagine the HORROR if my mama or papa got into my room and found the book! *GASP!*

Eww.. eww... eww! Get it outta my head! 

I have seen it in TIMES bookstore. The temptation to buy~~ 

HAH! ya lah tu....

So would you buy one? 

Would you read it if it is free?

Is it an abomination for the literature world?

I was thinking of buying a set of Twilight. Or... anyone would care to sponsor me?

Tee-Hee!

Whenever people speak of Neurology, my mind just automatically click on the cartoon Jimmy Neutron. It was my favorite cartoon! So I thought Neurology is something to do with the brain only. I didn't know better because, well, my Science class was taught in Bahasa Malaysia instead of English. So pardon on my stupidity. LoL!

Neurology (dealing with the nervous system - berkaitan dgn sistem saraf)

-        Stroke caused by disturbance in blood supply to the brain, swelling of the veins with cholesterol, or bleeding in the brain due to hypertension, OR due to blood clot. (strok atau angin ahmar disebabkan salur darah tersumbat lalu mengakibatkan bekalan darah ke sebahagian otak terganggu, atau pendarahan dalam otak yg disebabkan salur darah pecah akibat darah tinggi ATAU masalah darah beku dalam saluran darah dlm badan) -        Meralgia paresthetica is numbness or pain in the outer thigh but NO injury to thigh, but by injury to a nerve that extends from the thigh to the spinal column. (Kekebasan atau kesakitan pada peha BUKAN atas kecederan peha tersebut, tetapi kecederaan pada saraf yg ada pada bahagian peha sehingga bahagian tulang blakang) -        Migraines (x pyh translate. Sy rasa suma org tau.) -        Carpal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment median neuropathy (direct pressure of the median nerve) which caused paresthesia (tickling, tingling, burning, pricking or numbness), pain, etc in the distribution of the median nerve due to its compression at the wrists in the carpal tunnel. (Penyakit yg berlaku di pergelangan tangan disebbkan penggunaan yg berulang. Umumnya diturunkan secara genetik) -        Dementia, a set of symptom (Short time memory, mind speech & motor skills, change in personality, lost of certain skills or knowledge that they already had) which affects the way people think and interact with one another. Not a disease but linked to a damage done to the brain. (bukanlah sejenis penyakit, tetapi kerosakan/ kematian sel-sel otak secara abnormal. Overall, pesakit menjadi lembap tidak kira apa saja yg dilakukan.) -        Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, a neurological disorder characterized by increased pressure around the brain in absence of tumor or other diseases. Symptoms include nausea, headache and vomiting, buzzing in the ears synchronous with the pulse – pulsatile tinnitus, double vision and other. If not treated, it could lead to vision loss due to swelling of the optic disc in the eye. (gangguan saraf yg didefinisikan sebagai tekanan berterusan di sekitar otak disbbkan tumor atau lain2 penyakit. Symptom adalah termasuk rasa mual, sakit kepala & muntah2, vision berganda dll. Jika tidak diubati segera, ia akan menyebabkan kehilanggan panca indera penglihatan disbbkan bengkakan di optic disc dlm mata) -        Multiple sclerosis, MS, is a very serious & progressive health condition where the fatty sheaths around the axons of the brain/spinal cords are damaged. MS decrease life expectancy and are more common among women. (Masalah kesihatan yg serius dan berterusan dimana kerosakkan terjadi pada selubung Myelin di sekeliling akson dlm otak/saraf tunjang. Jangka hayat pengidap MS adalah pendek dan MS juga adalah penyakit yg biasanya dihidapi oleh kaum hawa)

So I always know Obesity could effect health especially with fat, cholesterol in the nervous system but never care to understand better. Only when I met Dr Jainah, she explain how migraines can be a cause from my obesity. And dementia scares me A LOT! I do kinda have some mild short term memory probs, but I don't want it to become something as a medical problem pula. Do you?

When I was obese, I got some serious hormonal problem. Well, heh! I don't really know if it was serious. But I felt like it was serious. Of course I felt it was serious when it comes to my appearance. My face was covered with pimples, acne, blackheads, whiteheads, cystic acne,..... You name it, I got it all on my face! 

I do have acne problems right now, but not as much as when I was obese. My face finally calms down and serious problem rose before till when I was on my periods and that one week when the uterus is readying itself for ovulation. 

I was warned by Dr Jainah that I got my acne problem and multiple menstrual problems due to my obesity. This is one of the reason I got so determined to be on diet. Apart from that, I was also warned of other things I was scared of that are regarding to hormone and reproductive field.

Endocrinology & Reproductive meds (dealing with hormones & reproduction problems - berkaitan dgn sistem hormon & sistem peranak/ perbidanan)

-        Diabetes mellitus or just Diabetes is a disease which a person has high sugar level in his/er blood. Resulted from lack of insulin (hormone that control glucose level in the blood) in the body, or the body/ cells face problem/ unable to use insulin it produces. (Penyakit kencing manis disebabkan kekurangan insulin, sejenis hormone yg mengawal kandungan gula dlm darah, dalam badan seseorg atau badan seseorg itu tidak mampu bertindak balas dengan insulin yg dihasilkan oleh tubuh itu sendiri.) -        Polycystic ovarian syndrome, PCOS, is one of the most common female endocrine disorders. Produces symptom like acne, hirsutism, resistance to insulin, overweight and high cholesterol levels (Gangguan hormone yg paling umum dan biasanya dialami oleh kaum wanita berblg bangsa sewaktu umur akhil baligh. Salah satu sbb utama ketaksuburan. Menghasilkan symptom seperti jerawat, ketumbuhan bulu/rambut di bahagian tubuh perempuan yg biasanya tidk ditumbuhi, kerintangan insulin, kegemukan dan tinggi kandungan lemak dlm darah.) -        Menstrual disorders, problems while in menstrual period like infrequent periods, short/extremely light periods, too frequent periods, extremely heavy or long periods, extremely painful periods, breakthrough bleeding/spotting(but quite normal for many women), absent periods. (Masalah haid seperti menstruasi yg jarang atau tidak teratur, tempoh menstruasi yg pendek atau kurang darah apabila mesntruasi, tempoh mestruasi yg panjang dan byk darah apa bila menstruasi, senggugut, darah haid menggumpal tetapi symptom yg biasa dialami oleh ramai wanita, tiada menstruasi.) -        Infertility (kemandulan) -        Complications during pregnancy (Masalah sewaktu mengandung) -        Birth defects. Example: Cleft palate (Kecacatan kandungan. Cth: Sumbing mulut) -        Intrauterine fetal death or simply stillbirth (kematian kandugan dalam perut)

I may dislikes the idea of having children (don't get me wrong, I love kids. Just dislikes the idea it came out of my ........ You fill in the blank.) Still, I may be ready for it one day (having children I mean), I don't want to be the cause of my future husband unable to have normal healthy babies just because of my selfish gluttony. And I don't want my kids, or any kids in this world to live with any kind of birth defect. When my favorite aunt gave birth to a stillbirth baby, it was the hardest thing I have ever felt in my chest which also the same feeling being shared the whole huge family.

I also have this ridiculous insecurity that my future husband may left me for another woman or women for my incompetent to give him a normal healthy baby. Thus, I found a great strength for discipline of course.

So people know what is the World Wide Web, WiFi, Windows, Mac and all. But does anyone know that having an utterly expensive anti-virus DOES NOT guarantee your ass of a computer to be hacked or worse, "virusifed"? I know some people know but I am sure that many of my fellow friends don't.

I am bringing up this because a friend of a fellow friend of mine believe that, he can buy an expensive anti-virus for his computer and then he don't need to connect to the internet to have an update of his anti-virus. I told him that updates are important because there are hundreds, or probably millions of newly developed virus that could either damage the computer at once, slowly, or just kacau the system here and there. Not to forget phishing and spyware that could lead to identity theft or organizational spying purpose. But does he listen to me? Apparently, being a "mere little girl" that I am do not know stuff. Double standard? very.... Oh! Well, I don't care much anyway. I am no boss to anyone and it was not my money who buy the freaking laptop for him....

However, having no anti-virus at all can be lethal to your precious lappy or desktop as well. A better option to prevent your data from being virusified or stole, is to keep them from your computer. It's not only safe, your computer will have a lot of free space also. And make sure you have back-up for your data as well. You don't want to end up loosing all of your data when you lost your external hard-drive, don't you? Always to scan your thumb-drive or hard-drive with the updated anti-virus, especially if the data-driver is shared among computers.

Why? Let just pretend that the drives are penis and the computers and laptops are vajajay. If one penis is shared by a lot and lots of vajajays and the penis have not mind or disease detectors, of course the penis is bound to get STD or worse AIDS. That's why people wear condoms and have yearly check-ups for precautions. That is also why people scan their drives to any updated antivirus software, not to detect STD/AIDS, to detect software virus.

Prevention is better than cure. So get a cheap anti-virus or free if you can. And then, make sure it is updated daily. XXX

DIET 101 - PART II : The Risks "Chapter 2.1"?

Note: I have divided this topic into several chapters and will be posted out every Friday!!

------------------------------

DISCLAIMER: I am, in NO WAY, encouraging people to not exercise, use the method I recommend here or follow what I do to loose weight. I am only sharing my experience & some tips how I loose my weight. These tips & tricks of dieting is what I am comfortable with and happens to suit me and my lifestyle. However, be reminded that what is good for me might not be for you and like wise. Please refer to your doctor, nutritionist and any health experts to discuss what kind of DIET will suit you and your lifestyle. I am not a doctor or a medical expert. Health risk that obese people could face may or may not be revealed in posts regarding with this subject. I may or may not be wrong in my explanation, so I suggest everyone who read this to refer to your doctor or any nearest medical expert to verify this. Readers discretion is highly advised.

------------------------------

People who knows me personally know that I am not the fatty type. I was slender but not skeleton skinny. But McD, KFC, DailyFresh, errrr..... and many other "good" stuff fatten me. Trying on Melilea Greenfield to slim down does not help me at all. How other people can get slim fast with the supplementary meal is beyond my wonder. They really made me extremely jealous. When I was on the drink, I became bloated and made me hungry all the time. The exact opposite of what it suppose to do. I'm not saying the product is not good. NOT AT ALL. It just does not do any good to me like anyone who had succeed to slim down with it. From there, I finally believe the term "what good to others might not be good for you." that people always used in their blog and vlog. 

So how I become discipline with DIET is out of this world actually, and it's all thanks to Dr Jainah who explain. or should I say instill that scared-factor in my head that made me determined. So, for any of you who are obese and reading this to look for encouragement from a fellow obese that succeed to loose weight, you'll definitely in the right place. 

There is a Malay saying: "Tidak kenal maka tidak cinta." (Translation - that if you don't know, you will never love.) But in this case, the saying can be used as - If you don't know/learn, then you will never understand. If I have never known the severity of the risks I could face, I will never got anything within me to even think of dieting.

People who have problem with weight, especially obesity are prone to face a lot of health risks. But do you know what are those health risks? I always knew but never understand the severity of them all. I will divide this chapter into several groups to explain each of the health problem, according to it's medical field. Once again I remind readers discretion is highly advised as I AM NO DOCTOR or MEDICAL EXPERT. I am just a Sabahan girl who understand these diseases/illness, not like the back of my hand, but understand enough not to pamper myself and jump into the volcano of illness.
