How Much is 1 kg of Fats?

Have you wonder why that girl who is as skinny as a stick can eat like an elephant and yet fit into size super S? I tot about that all my life. Haiz. Although my mum is one of those plumb aunties after she gave birth to us, she was super slim, petite with waist long hair before that wor. My Dad was skinny too. So how come I dun get any of those skinny genes? Sob. The last time I fit into a S was probably in primary school. -.o" I want to be skinny too.

I have been battling with my weight for donkey years. Losing weight makes it into my new-year resolution list year and year but I dun think the resolutions were ever achieved. I am still 2 kgs away from my pre-pregnancy weight (after losing that 0.5kg from the torturous Aussie trip) and cannot fit into many of my pre-pregnancy clothes. Haiz.

Just then, my sis challenged me. Somehow, she got the fat genes (I chose to blame nature, LOL) and had been desperate to lose weight too. So, we made a bet. Whoever that can lose 1kg (or whoever more) by 31 Jan 10 will win $30 and a shopping companion.

My sis said that staying away from coke helps. So I say no to coke too. And I haven been eating excessively and refrained from popping that dark Hersey's almond chocolate that had been calling out to me. After struggling for 2 weeks on a little coke and chocolate diet, I DIDNT lose a single gram of fats! Still as heavy leh. Why ah? And I am on hormones pills to induce menses recently, which totally didnt help. Every kind of food seems extra appealing now and my tummy is constantly growling and complaining that she is hungry. Sob, no food = pathetic. I am so dead.

On the other hand, my sis is battling yo-yo weight. She's losing weight with the cut-off coke diet but gain back with the arrival of Mac's twister fries. Hohoho. But she just got a job as a dental assistant recently, which left her too tired for food, thus losing weight. She was proudly telling me last night that she's uber light now. Argghhh.. I think I am gg to lose this challenge. I think I will be ordering home delivery twister fries for her every night now until 31 Jan 10. Hohoho.

So, how much is 1kg of fats? $30. If you want, I can sell mine to you at a good discount. Lol!
