Gaining weight struggles

Assalamualaikum
💗


I heard that it is harder to gain weight than to lose it.

At least that's what happens to me. 
Now if I can put an equation to explain that,


36kg ≤ Umi ≤ 45kg



Abnormal? Yes.



I heard about what happens on the contrary, too.



Another thing that I heard (from my cousin),



"I tried to gain weight too when I was your age but I don't remember to weigh that little. Anyways,  struggle's the same - I couldn't stop thinking about it, too. Just like you, I tried to feed myself more than the average. I literally eat more than the average girls. Any girl can stop at second chicken or their third ones but I usually stopped at my fourth or fifth. Alas, that can only get me as far - 1kg. It's frustrating, you see, because I was struggling. I cried. I got angry. I wonder just what went wrong with my body. Everyone else is living in their own ideal body type. I'm stuck at 'skinny'. I understand how you feel. I used to be in your shoe."



She adds,



"Just don't push yourself too hard. Don't hate your body. You'll get to your ideal BMI on time. You'll love yourself and you'll look prettier than you already are. There's nothing wrong with you, really. Look at me now, the inner parts of jeans worn out since I got pregnant. I never understand what's really happening until my friend vent to me about having no thigh gaps and being fat. I'm now considered fat. Those coconut butter oil they sell on pharmacies? They don't work. Haha. Now I have cellulite on my tummy, the baby's coming out and I just hope I can go back to having my beautiful skin."



I swear to God that was the utmost nice thing she has ever say to me. Thank you, Dr Afifah.

Yayy, Another Blogpost!

Hello, tiny Earthlings. 💗 I'm currently doing a correction for my thesis report. Oh it is so much convenient, actually, to post things via twitter because I can keep it short and simple and secret. By secret, I mean, not mentioning the real situation -- just some words of happy mood or frustration. Either one. **sigh This online banking web is annoying because it does not allow me to view my past transactions clearly. I hate that. I hate things that says "No" to me, basically. I'd like to check though. Do I have to get a copy from over-the-counter? Soooo high-tech. **sigh I'm happy. I'm eating again. My birthday for this year was a blast. I feel loved. Thank you to those who made it happened :) I've never had so many birthday wishes for a long time. Since January is a busy month, for everyone. So, yeah. Thank you for remembering and for caring enough to wish the already-happy me a happy birthday. I'm touched. You guys used your time on m...

Choose Being Kind Over Being Right

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful 💗 This morning Diana texted me telling that one of our friend, Syafiqah, has lost her beloved father. Innalillahi-wa-innailaihi-rajiun. I have yet to know the whole story behind that but I did call her last month - sekadar bertanya khabar. And she had a lot to tell since we have not met for ages. Hm what I didn't hear was that her father has been returning back and forth to hospital for some time. Suddenly hearing about her father's death somehow break my heart too. Syafiqah was one of the many friends who had given nice, encouraging words when my mother died last two years. Her grief now is pretty much felt 😔 Nevertheless, I hope people are going to be there for her - giving her all the support she needs. Whatever I did not get when this happened to me, I hope she gets it. Despite all this, I have something important to share. About stopping ourselves from bigger damage, choosing empathy, mostl...

Totally inspired

Now now, there's nothing to laugh at. I think my drawings are not that bad, right? I know I can't draw like my mentor, Attifah. Hee, maybe just not yet. I'll be good, just wait and see. So, this is probably the second time since the last time I actually uploaded some snaps of my drawings. Last time I drew the characters of Le Gardenie - the two friends and Lemon. It's been ages, I know, I even forget their names. Le Gardenie was really a good comic. This year I actually found them on Mangareader.net so, you can read the series. You'll love the characters, of course. About my drawings, I've been drawing since I was like 9 so, my drawings have gone through lots of changes - like a revolution, really. I started with stupid bunch of doodles which if I take a look now, even I can't figure out what I've drawn exactly. Hehe. But, you just have to laugh at yourself every now and then. Kinda good theraphy, pffft. The drawing I've just uploaded is inspired ...
