Shanghai Baby

It was 2005 when I moved to Shanghai. I was pretty young and adventure ruled my heart. I was lured by the promise of being a rising star in an exciting job, in a city filled with infinite possibilities.

But I found that the picture I painted in my mind’s eye was worlds apart once I arrived. The job tied me up with the long hours and demanding schedule. The cold Chinese winters also added a certain gloomy atmosphere to my life. And I knew no one. I was utterly alone.

The stress eventually made me fall ill.

The doctors told me it was a condition called hypothyroid.

That put a major dent in my life. From the hot girl weighing 49kg, the condition quickly added on the bulk, and my new weight was a horrifying 60kg. It seriously punctured my ego and made me feel even more reclusive.

I ran home to Singapore to seek medical help. I was ashamed of my new body so I avoided everyone and became absolutely cynical about life.

I felt sorry for myself and this chapter that was supposed to be so beautiful, started to star showcase some of the darkest moments in my life.

      It took about 18 months of medication, exercise (yoga and running) and healthy food to shed the thyroid weight.
