How to stop uncontrollable cravings

Lately, I've been craving for BK a lot. Their King's Deals are too appealing, especially when they are only 5 minutes away!! I've gained so much weight this month - it's kinda scaring me. I should probably stop looking at so much delicious food pictures and videos at night, haha.

I was reading this article and it suggested that we need to learn the difference between emotional and physical hunger. 

As well, eating small frequent meals helped me in the past to overcome this issue. But right now, I'm in relaspe =_=.

Drink plenty of water was also suggested by the article. I do drink a lot of water.. MAYBE too much Lol (8 bottles a day? I pee like crazy tho)

Definitely cut down on the carbs and add more fiber rich veggies to your meal! Well.. I love my meals with rice or noodles.. so this was kinda hard for me :(


Researchers stated that chewing slowly allows the brain to process the signal that your stomach is full.

I hope I can remember these notes when I chow down my meal D:

What a week?!

2 weeks ago, I woke up with minor shin pain - my lower shin area was tense. I didn't care much about it and hoped it would go away. 5 days has passed and it progressed up to my knee. It hurts when I walk/sit/do nothing. My muscles felt inflamed and I felt little bumps on my medial shim.

Raymond finally convinced me to see a walk-in doctor. I was planning to see the campus doctor, but they said they don't have any openings that day. Therefore, I went to see the walk-in doctor at the plaza. Luckily, I only waited for 20 mins.

It was weird at first since the nurse asked me to get my urine sample out of no reason? Anyways, I talked to Dr. Flowitt and she diagnosed it as "Shin Splints". The possible causes for this could be wearing improper shoes or excessive exercise. I'd assume it would be my boots. She prescribed me some anti-inflammatory pills.

That night I microwaved my leftovers(tomato pasta) from 3 days ago and took my pills after that. One hour later, my stomach started to burnnnnnn. I googled the symptoms and people say it is gastric/acid reflux which is basically your stomach acid trying to go backwards on your food tract - not good.

I feel like puking and it was hard to swallow. Bad bad experience. I think if it were to be more serious.. I could get uclers. Poop.

I waited for a few days and am still waiting for it to go away.. It's starting to feel better, but I'm still not pooping regularly.

Meanwhile this whole time, I was craving for japanese bento food like crazy. Thanks Sandy for accompanying me to Watami. I had a great first experience, so I wanted to go back and try their other foods. She ordered seafood udon and I opted for the chicken terriyaki combo. My food was not worth for what it is priced. The portion was wayyy too small for what it is priced ($16.95). Watami tasted better when I went with Ata and Mich. Maybe they changed the owner? I wouldn't want to go back again.

Btw, I lost weight since school started which was weird to me. I've been eating out and eating fatty foods like no tomorrow.

Teeth Whitening

I think even the prettiest girl with yellow teeth is disgusting. It is just one of my many pet peeves. To me, yellow teeth resembles poor cleaning habits, coffee stains, and smoke stains. It is very unappealing. And I don't want to symbolize that!

I am obsessed with teeth whitening since last winter term. I've been using the Crest 3D White Whitestrips Vivid on and off. I do believe it whitened my teeth somewhat, especially when I drank a lot of coffee during exams season. I would recommend this product to anyone because this is a cheaper alternative to teeth whitening with visible results.

I've been lazy and slacking on whitening strips. Therefore, today I bought Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid toothpaste to compensate my idleness on whitening strips. I hope it works! It says on the label that whitens: can remove up to 90% of surface stains in 14 days. That is insane cause I bought it at SDM for 2.99 on sale.. XD
