Today has been a happy and sad day for me. In my entire life, I experienced two firsts in the same day. My first facial treatment and my first weight problem. Me? Weight problem? Never heard of that, until today, that is!
This morning, as I waited for my boys to finish their iCamp session, I braved myself to try a facial treatment at a famous beauty salon. Imagine how much the price will be when the toilet papers that they use are more expensive than those at your home!
All in all, I had a wonderful albeit expensive facial treatment. Being treated by a pair of gentle hands made me ashamed of my own rough hands, though. I was even floating on air when my mother commented that my skin actually glows today!
Then all the glows drained out to become a pale, bloodless skin. This happened immediately after I stepped on the weighing scale in my mother's room. The reading confirmed what I suspected all along. And this is what I fear....
I'm having a weight problem for the first time in my entire life! I'm gaining too much weight. I'm supposed to gain a total of 10kg throughout the pregnancy, with a maximum of 1.5kg this month. But I have already chalked up at least 4kg! How am I supposed to limit my weight gain to 6kg for the rest of the pregnancy? What should I do? As far as I'm concerned, I'm not eating that much to warrant such a weight gain? Where did all the weight go to? Am I carrying a twin after all? It seems that my tummy is way too big for 17 weeks. What am I going to do next?
Aargh! I'm going crazy thinking of the weight that I'm carrying. Can't wait till Monday to ask the doctor's advice on my diet. Boys, please help me to control what and how much I eat. I don't want to be a fatty bom bom!
