The Weight Issue
Singaporeans are getting more conscious about their weight. Just look at the number of slimming ads on TV. The advertised products range from slimming centres to pills to firming gels. Using celebrities to endorse these products has become so common that it seems like all local MediaCorp artistes have at least 1 deal.
Every time I switch on the television set, I'm bombarded with irksome images of impossible-to-achieve stick-like figures of celebrities. They constantly remind me that my acceptable weight, according to the Body Mass Index (BMI), just isn't good enough. We should all be underweight like them! I felt a tinge of regret when I thought of that little sinful piece of chocolate that I just ate.
It's just impossible to lose weight in Singapore.
What's Singapore famous for? Food! Singapore is a food paradise! How can we refrain from those yummy, lip-smacking, finger-licking local dishes like fried Hokkien noodles, laksa [noodles in coconut gravy], and chicken rice, just to name a few? As I'm typing this, Channel 8 is introducing the different kinds of roti prata s [an Indian tossed pancake] we can find in Singapore . Now, even vegetarians in Singapore have restaurants serving delectable vegan cuisine, catered to them like this one the UrbanWire introduced. Oh, don't forget the annual Singapore Food Festival held a month back. Tell me, how can anyone resist?
Some argue that as long as we exercise and not binge, it's ok. However, gym memberships are too expensive for students. They can cost up to $100 a month big chunk of our monthly allowance. Forget about going to a gym; let's go jogging around our residential estate. A quick look out my window informs me that it's drizzling outside, and the ground is wet from the rain just a while ago. How can anyone exercise?
The pace of life as a Singaporean, is ‘fast' and ‘faster'. No time for exercise, too much stress to diet, and food comes to mind whenever one is depressed. Maybe it's just me, but whenever I'm stressed and depressed, I find comfort in food. How unfortunate!
These are the results of my analysis, and to reward myself for completing this blog entry, I shall treat myself to a yummy piece of Merci chocolate…
*Note: The above are just some of the excuses from the writer and you shouldn't be discouraged from your dieting plan. For now, stop surfing the internet, get up on your feet and start working on your exercise regime!
