Sounds like when I was before, only my weight was 130kg, but that was when I learned I had Esophagus Cancer middle of last year. Believe me when I say that you are actually alright in terms of weight and height, but like others said, you have to be disciplined about what you are eating and drinking. I am a non smoker, I don't drink alcohol and though I was overweight, I was quite active, joining marathons every month and running at least 10 KM (which included Standard Chartered) and I didn't really eat a lot of junk food but I was quite fond of fizzy drinks and cordials.

Since my Cancer diagnosis, I've gone through 4 rounds of Chemotheraphy and had a life changing surgery of removing a quarter of my stomach and esophagus to remove the tumour (which involved breaking two of my ribs - did mean I experienced morphine for this first time, that was fun!). I've lost 60kg at one point and until now my weight flunctuates because I have trouble eating as I tend to reflux anything I eat, even if I drink plain water.

My advice is simple - be conscious of what you eat and count your calories. Yes, chocalates are nice, but replace it with pop corn which is low in calories but is quite fun to eat, keropok ikan is another that can help. For snacks, peel potato skins, wash them properly and dry them out before frying it in hot oil, season with salt and you have chips that are healthy and again, don't count much in calories. Brussels sprouts, which are mostly water, are also nice to have as a snack and is easy to prepare (cut them, put in a bow, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and some parmesan cheese, bake in an oven for 10+ minutes).

I haven't been able to eat sushi as it is considered raw food and is dangerous for my body, and I haven't had a fizzy drink since then. I still exercise and last month managed to complete my first 5km run in a while. I nearly dropped dead, but small baby steps. My energy levels drop dangerously low at times and I can't eat red meat as it induces extreme reflux, but I try and eat slowly.

You are concious that you need assistance, but at the end of the day, all of it is up to you. You have to decide if you want to go though your next health journey. Others may have better health advice than I do, but again, it is all up to you.

Godspeed on your health journey.
