TO DIET or NOT TO DIET

[paulgee]

So - is it a fact that Filipinas who come to Britain to live are more likely to gain weight? Having recently visited the Philippines I would think the lifestyle there would ensure that calories are burnt off more easily.

Let's face it - how many fat people do you see in the Philippines compared to here in Britain?

I love to eat so I make it up with exercise, back in Phil I go to the gym 5x a wk after work. I was 8st at 5'4 before having kids, now with 2 boys Im now 9st and stop weighing...dont want to know anymore! just cant help eating as well with these kids! My husband prefers me slim but I told him Im still considered petite compare with other Brit ladies But I promised myself that I will shed off a few pounds...dont like stick thin. Im pressured in a way bec my husband eats healthy-eats less rice than me, removes fat and skin, doesnt like fried, exercise alot and he is really fit and got a nice body, no flabby bits at all..and me??? never mind...

Good luck to us...who wanted to slim down!

Plus the weather in the PI is one of the contributing factors why they are skinny or slim. We perspire a lot!

Having long walks from home to Jeepney/Bus Terminals. Not all have got cars and the joy of window shoppings during weekends.

wow good for you sis.. I'm always planning to have my BOXING and my MUAY THAI class but until now I cant start because I have lot of things and responsibility to do esp now that I'm working my FIANCEE application... I have gloves, I visited on boxing gym near LIBIS EASTWOOD but never started ... I love to do it because I used to do my TAE BOO and i do gym weight lifting too.... but now just one meal a day for the mean time and cereal in the morning and thats it I hope I will loose weight

thats what my other half said he was amazed when he went to PI for a visit and was quite surprise how small filipinos are compared to western women but to add when filipina comes to u.k not all of them gain weight coz i havent and I`ll be about two years now and I managed to maintain my wieght so far.probably because am still not experienced of getting pregnant.
