MBA, Stress and Obesity

My doctor friend once told me that I probably suffer from Stress Related Obesity. I dunno if its true or if there is anything called 'Stress Related Obesity', but it magically seems to explain my eating binges and rapid weight gain.

I went through an elaborate weight reduction program for six months before I landed in Singapore which successfully brought down my weight from a shocking 110 kilos to a not-so-shocking 94 kilos. I was able to decrease my weight further during my first four months here in Singapore. You can see me enjoying one of the night-outs with my batchmates in July 05.

And then, the rigours of the course and daily irritations associated with life in Singapore started taking a toll on my mind and body. The increased levels of stress probably caused an increase in appetite (thats the only cause I can attribute to the fact that I was gulping down copious amounts of hazardous waste that they sell in the food courts here). Overeating made me lazy and I started finding reasons to miss a workout. And six months later.... I was back to a 110 kilos, walking around like an elephant with piles! I feel sick when I look at myself in the mirror. You can see me getting bored at one of the 'night-outs' in Feb 06. Nothing interests me anymore.

Its high time I got a grip over my life!!
