An introvert's diet plan

This probably isn't the healthiest of any diet plan. Heck, its not even a plan. It sorta happened by chance.

But before I start let me say that I am now 25lbs lighter than my heaviest weight ever!!

The first 15lbs I lost while living and working abroad. A combination of can't read ingredients in foreign language = can't cook = can't eat a lot. And also the work part exhausting to me the point that I'd rather sleep than eat.

The next 10lbs I lost here after I've moved back and got my new job. It's much more physical and it's probably the reason why I lost that much weight in 2 months (in comparison to the 15lbs I lost in a year).

I'd also like to point out that I don't exercise at all. I avoid it all cost. Its gotten to a point where any major exercise causes me to be nauseous. Like on my first month back here, I went on a mini hike with my best friend. It was all good and dandy... till I went home. My body temperature got so high triggered a massive migraine and I just had a pukefest.

So now, you must be wondering how I lost that weight. Well, like I said, it's by chance. It's all sleep! Sounds like a dream right? But hey, its working for me. You see, as an introvert, I can afford to sleep as long as I want. I only wake up for work, or when my own brain has had too much sleep already. I pretty much only eat during breaks at work and lately I can't even finish my packed meals (which is usually leftover from a previous meal). On my days off though, or when I do have to socialize, more eating is involved. But because I haven't seen my friends for a while (not just coz of my schedule but because of their own too), I haven't been eating out as much.

My uncle once told me that you just gotta get your stomach to shrink. It's kinda like the stomach staple minus the staple part. And I think that's exactly what's happening here. When I do eat, there's still a fair share of junk food. And I'm glad I don't have to cut that off. I just gotta eat them in proportions.

Anyway, I'm worried coz there'll be less shift for work after the holidays. So how does an introvert like me get exercise without really exercising? Guess we'll find out once we've crossed that bridge. But for now, I gotta maintain what I lost.

PS: 20lbs more and I'll reached my ideal weight.
