Describe one positive change you have made in your life.


The positive change? Being vegetarian. Well, for 40 days then I’m non-vegetarian again.

Why did I even embark on this journey?

Every year during Lent, I would embark on a vegetarian journey, a lacto-ovo-vegetarian journey to be exact and this year, it was from the 5th of March till the 19th of April 2025.

Thus, I went from consuming meat to consuming tofu almost everyday as well as started consuming vegetables again.

Albeit being vegetarian, I try to reduce my rice consumption. Thus, I mainly mixed rolled oats into my dishes.

I started shopping for groceries even more (which may not be such a good thing) but I was surprised at the number of items I could buy and only spend minimal.

Well, vegetables are cheap, which is good.

Changing my diet in combination with my usual routine at work and ensuring I reach my daily steps of 10,000 steps, I started losing weight.

Not much. However, I’ve been struggling with losing the weight that I have gained during my time off in the Surgical Posting.

Now that I’m non-vegetarian again, obtaining food is easier and I actually miss being vegetarian.

Perhaps soon I will embark on this journey again.
