Fit and unhappy

Gabriel Poh may seem like the confident class clown who is popular amongst his peers. But beneath his goofy exterior, is someone who isn't satisfied with his body.

 Even though he has lost over 10 kg within these 3 years, he feels that his body is still a work in progress and will not stop until he achieves what he wants.

 Being 85 kg when he was 17 was a huge blow to his self-esteem. He still recalls the time when he had a class outing to the beach, where he refused to remove his shirt because he was insecure about his body.

After his O levels, Gabriel finally decided to do something about it. He started a strict exercise and dieting regime.

"I stick to an exercising plan of 60 days and follow a strict diet of cutting off of fatty foods, for example, fried food and other stuff."

The journey was never easy for Gabriel, especially in the beginning when he had to give up his favorite crispy fried chicken amongst his other guilty pleasures. That requires dedication, because even we find it impossible to give up our beloved waffles!

So how does he do it?

"One day you may decide that you might not want to stick to your diet because you are not motivated. But I think it’s important to stay focused on your plan, just remember what you want to achieve in the end."

The Five Bunnies totally agree and believe that this is the key factor behind every success. Not only in keeping your body fit, but for the other aspects in life as well, in your studies, in work, chasing your dreams and fulfilling your goals.

 This might be why Gabriel isn't satisfied with his current body. His focus is on his goals and his target, he doesn't want to settle for anything less. So no matter how far he is from his aspirations, he is going to remain focused and persevere to the end. And we hope the same for you!


All the best,
The Five Bunnies
