dont eat b4 u sleep

I didnt sleep well at all last night………………………………………
Bcos I ate before I slept………………………………

It was almost 11pm when I got on bed.
10mins into lying down my stomach grumble…

and losing fats means I must ensure that my body knows it will be fed whenever it is hungry.
So I told myself. Oki… “Woman, you need to get up and feed yourself.”

In case you didnt know why.
Besides binge-ing due to hunger, another way of becoming fat is by starving oneself.

I had 2 small baos…

Then went back to bed. Continue reading

1. Facebook games. These games are a ridiculous waste of time, but I can’t judge people for playing them because I also waste time, just not in the same way. The difference is that I’m not spamming my friends’ newsfeeds with updates on my time-wasting activities. These super-annoying notifications are easily disabled by the perpetrators and therefore entirely unnecessary. To combat this bothersome blight, it is possible to hide the games so as not to receive further updates, which I have done. Nevertheless, new games are continually overrunning my defenses and pillaging my newsfeed.
