Panic over!

Have you heard of anyone gaining 5kg within a week?! That's me!! hah!

Last time we went to Kwong Wah and I weigh 86.7kg. That wasn't a good number! Doctor there told me I have to watch out. That makes me miserable for a week. As if it couldn't get any worse, in St. Paul last Monday they weigh me 91kg!!!! I saw the scale needle went south at a supersonic speed, I was like 'nooooooo, that can't be real!!!!'. The nurse wrote '201 pound' on my record so heartlessly. I am doomed......

Consulted Dr. Fong his opinion, he has no idea why I gain so much weight. He said the toughest part of pregnancy hasn't kicked in yet and I have already gained 30 pounds since! The thing is the baby only weighs 2 pounds so far, even if I take off the amniotic fluid and my clothes. It doesn't make up more than 2 kg (if that!). It means the rest of the 28 kg is me! The good thing is the baby isn't fat or anything, he's within the normal range of size and length and weight. All fit into a 26 weeks old baby. I've asked Dr. Fong that will the baby gets more weight if I gain more weight. He said it won't. Some women eat a lot and yet their baby don't gain weight. Or some other cases, women don't eat and yet the baby can be huge! It all depends on different women. In my case, the weight goes to me, not the baby. I'd prefer it that way, unless it won't be hard during delivery. Just that it'll be troublesome for me right now carrying all these weight. But I've made up my mind to lose that weight (fluid) in China! Exerciseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Yesterday, I had a bun and a 250ml box of skimmed milk (low fat, high calcium) and that's it. Then we went walking for the entire afternoon, didn't even get round to sit down and have lunch. I got a bit peckish at around 3ish and I ate my crackers then I didn't feel hungry anymore. Met my students for dinner at 6pm so thought I won't eat anything until then. At night I weigh myself at home and I was 84.5kg! This morning I weigh myself again with the same clothes I wore to St.Paul the other night, still I was 84kg!

Dr. Fong was right, only eat when I feel hungry. If not, don't eat. And more around more. I did yesterday and see already seeing the result! This is encouraging. I shall do more wii sports too. Was doing the step aerobics, was fun heh! :)

More updates later!
