FAQ: What is a good weigh in schedule?

There are different aspects that work for a good weigh in schedule.

1. Choose the same day a week (I always choose Sundays because it’s kind of like the “start of a new week”)
2. Choose the same time that day. It’s best to weigh in before anything was eaten, because extra food in your body just causes you to add weight that isn’t actually your body weight. (I weigh in at 10:00 AM because that’s right before breakfast)
3. Go to the bathroom before weighing yourself. Sometimes it could honestly make a difference!
4. If you’re just aiming to lose weight, then you’re done! But if you’re like me and you’re also looking for specific measurements, also measure your stats right before you eat too. It’s best to log your measurements somewhere like “My Fitness Pal” or “My Calorie Counter” because it keeps track of the differences each week.
5. This is the most important thing. NEVER. EVER. Skip a weigh in. By skipping a weigh in it means that your food and exercise has defeated you. Even if the number is not what you wanted, there is always a logical reason to why it was that number, and it can always get better the next weigh in. If you skip a weigh in then you don’t know how much you improved from the next time you weigh in.

Full of shit

It’s nothing new & it’s not even that big an issue (keeping in mind that most of the people are educated jahils) but I still want to talk about it. This Sunday I had the misfortune to read some interview & I couldn’t read it till the end. Sara Taseer was only talking about Farrah Khan. The thing is…journalists who throw such questions or take such interviews are the ones to be blamed. But when the journalist is only interested in adding spice, then what you get is a piece of shit. This is not the 1^st interview I’ve read that made me say so.

Bitching is in human nature. People can’t help it but it’s the responsibility of the reporter. But then what am I talking about? In our country, reporters prefer giving their views rather than reporting. It seems like plunging into yellow journalism is what they truly want & that’s all they know. That lady said that she lost her cell phone & she was annoyed at it but she was laughing at Farrah Khan. When you really laugh at someone, you don’t attach significance to that being. You even forget that person after laughing. It doesn’t mean I’m painting Farrah Khan as an angel. She must have done something totally horrendous to get this sort of reaction.

Once I saw Amna Haq asking Ali Noor on TV that he buys clothes from Zainab Market but he tells people that they are designer wear…She wanted to know how true is this statement. How very low on anyone’s part to ask such questions! You may not like a person, but there is no need to insult anyone like this. And whoever came up with that bizarre question in the 1^st place, it only speaks highly about him. Throwing mud on others only shows that you yourself are full of shit.

Awesome Creatures!

Right at the outset, I want to tell you that I’ve met some very nice humans (both men & women). I don’t write about them, cause it’s going to be so boring.

Anyway, there are people who know what’s going to happen to a person in his future. Maybe they live in the future, but they are not psychic. There are people who want to bring about peace in the entire world & fail to accomplish the very aim with the very few people they mingle with. There are people who have problems with everything. There are people who think they are always right & others are always wrong. There are people who aren’t different at all, but want to be labeled as eccentric. There are people who want to act & sound smart 24/7. There are people who preach something & practice something else. There are people who are supersensitive about themselves & don’t give a damn as to what happens to others. There are people who think others are stupid & they won’t understand the meaning of anything that is not obvious. And yes there is one more kind that I can’t stand - the type that thinks with his dick & also has the audacity to think that the other person is equally excited when there is no connection whatsoever.


In all these years, the kind that irritates me the most are the ones who pretend to be such great humans & are so very comfortable with everything that is extremely disgusting around them. I don’t know how do they manage to do all that to themselves. I rarely turn them over in my brain. I don’t have the answer. In fact, I don’t have most of the answers.

I’d like to elaborate one type of people - I happen to know some who ask innumerable questions & they think it’s not obvious that they are trying to find out something, which is so obvious to the person. I think by the time I would be 70, people would stop asking such stupid questions. I seriously hope they do. At the age of 70, I may not seem stupid.

I have been teasing my sister for quite some time that she knows pretty weird creatures. Nevertheless, I happen to know really mad ones. I’m not sure if they are dysfunctional. But they are invariably right about everything & they know everything.

I’m not here to make people happy or to take dictation from them. You want to order, you can order your slaves, who are ready to worship you at any cost. I’m not saying that I don’t put up with shit. Of course I can, but that person has to be important.

It’s high time. People should come up with new tactics. It’s all the more boring to hear the same story again & again. It might be difficult when you don’t know how to use your brain cells. And yes it’s time to tell you why I have been ranting like this. Actually I read this in one of my notebooks:

“This is slavery, not speak one’s thought.”

And I said what I had to. I just couldn’t help it. I know I must have missed a number of species. We’ll dissect them some other time.

Would you sleep with anyone to climb the ladder of success?

While playing Q &A, I asked this particular question. Naturally whoever took the test said NO. I also don’t happen to be friends with anyone who is screwing to get ahead in life. And people I know who are into all these things wouldn’t answer my questions, in the 1st place.

We haven’t been able to play Q & A lately as my sister has too many weirdos in her circle & they have nothing better to do than to read what we have to say & then they put up stupid questions. Dealing with stupid questions is also an art. My sister can deal with them, but I can’t.

Catharsis is something that purges (Oh really?), but if you think writers are here to pour out each & every story…then you are wrong. I only talk about things I want to talk about…I never go further than that. Now why the hell am I writing on this? But I’m sure it’s not yet clear as to what I’m writing about.

Coming back to those who sleep in order to get ahead…I would only say: It’s your life & you make your choices. Frankly speaking, I don’t really care & I’m not into writing moral stuff. To me sex is a sacred thing. The only questions I can throw at them are: Are you living for your fleshly desires? Has the big O happened? Are you having it right now? Or do you just fake it? I would be the last person to ask them: how could you insult sex? Because I don’t really know…maybe they are enjoying it. If not, how saddening!

My favourite question has always been: Do you fantasize about sex? I do, but I hardly come across people who say yes. Honesty is but a rare thing.

“Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We’ve got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.”

D. H. Lawrence

Now I’m going to tell why I have written all this. One such lady asked my sister: who is the guy Nadz fighting with on the blognetwork? That was one dumb question. She could have asked as to why I got into that silly argument with a retard. That would have sounded hilarious at least. And see what I have done today.

On a serious note, I’ve seen the world doesn’t have problem with people who sleep in order to gain something. But the world has problem with those who raise their voice against an atrocity or a crime that shouldn’t be mentioned. As long as people keep mum about it, that thing doesn’t exist. Is there anything in this world that escapes corruption? Isn’t it corruption that you stay quiet when you should speak up against something that isn’t right?

That’s what I don’t like. And you don’t have to approve or disapprove of it. I’m not asking for your opinion.
