Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
I did have a hard time figuring what I would eat for breakfast if everything needed to be white.
I had to explore and find out what really worked for me and having a challenge made my diet choices work differently.
First two weeks I ate just Quaker Oats flavored Banana Honey Flavor since it was close to white that was my breakfast. I had alternated with plain yogurt or banana yogurt with fresh banana.
Sometimes I would eat pandesal with Swiss cheese to alternative my breakfast just to make myself full.
I learned to train myself to wake up early have a full meal before one o'clock came so I'd be able to put my whitening gel and retainers on leaving it on four hours.
I had skipped my merienda/snacks during my time. It wasn't hard for me since I was not hungry.
After my four hours you cannot eat right away leaving one hour after I would eat at six o'clock after my meals, I would brush my teeth and if I got hungry, I'd just eat a banana and water.
In one week, I was able to lose five pounds just because my meals had changed. The second week of my whitening teeth I lost another five pounds, and my weight was 99 pounds. I felt this wasn't appropriate for me since I am 5'4 inches tall. I was under weight.
I decided to eat normal food yet without color or if I ate colored food, I'd floss and brush my teeth right away. I was worried if I ate colored food my teeth wouldn't turn white.
From my own observation I ate meals with one cup of rice with Filipino dishes such as chicken tinola that was cleared soup.
I went back into doing my aerobic rider and cardio that I follow in YouTube to keep myself fit. After one month later I was able to gain back being 110 pounds. Yet my tummy fats are slowly getting smaller.
I realized that you could find what works for you while others it may work differently.
I am proud of myself keeping myself fit now I can touch the floor while bending down.
I think what really helped me is having my weekly massage from Mary Ann. She has informed me my body is flexible reason to believe my blood vessels are flowing the right way.
