Have you sometimes wondered what you’d be like if life hasn’t treated you the way it had?

I have..and I am so grateful that my life went the way it did.

Lots of “what-if” questions have crossed my mind. A basic cliché one: what if I’ve never had weight issue in my life? Then I started to chain every possibility caused by this basic “problem” I had in most of my life time..the result is probably far from what I call happy at the current time.

Being fat, wouldn’t say ugly, not really into fashion, the younger me has been noticed as a boyish girl by most of the people, even my family. I however, was considered smart and easygoing, the two last have “helped” me in a way to build my confidence in my social life. The word “pretty” or “sexy” was never brought up to the surface, which is fine cause I was none of them :)

Being so, I’m blessed to have friends who appreciate me for my sincerity and what I got in heart, non else.

I’m blessed for my husband. He knew me since I was that girl playing soccer in campus (and even scored some goals), never once wore a skirt - always with that jeans + shirt ensemble, who mingled with anyone, any background, who got A score for some subjects he had to repeat the next year LOL.. we declared as couple when I weighed like over 70 kgs. Even when I lost over 20 kgs at my wedding day, and I regained over 10kgs after my son’s birth, I know he married me not because I’m pretty or sexy or any other superficial reasons. Please don’t take it wrong, it’s not a sin if you love your couple because he/she’s good lookin’, just ensure it’s not your primary reason you marry this person.

So just to answer this cliché question, it took me a while, short enough to say that I didn’t need another kind of life. I’m happy for the way it was, the way it is. I now, still have some calories to burn, a bit more aware to the word fashion, still a soccer freak, a corporate slave, and a mom to a super child! This is exactly where I want to be, thanks to life :)
