~li'l bit of this..li'l bit of that

I eat merely to put food out of my mind

~N.F. Simpson

Kelmarin kepingin burger tepi jalan. Tapi hampa sebab ronda-ronda lepas kerja satu gerai pun belum buka lagi. I don't know why tapi burger tepi jalan adalah sangat appealing bagi saya. Sedap dia lain ooo *drool*. Jadi semalam terus beli roti burger dan daging burger. Susah sangat aku buat sendiri je la. Pagi tadi gigih bangun awal buat burger. Wah, selalunya bangun tidur terus rushing hendak pergi kerja saja. Bangga betul hari ini makan breakfast hasil air tangan sendiri kat pantry klinik. Hee.

I like to eat. Amat sangat. I'm not choosy as well. Selagi halal saya suka cuba makan. If I like it then I'll really savour it. Fortunately, my husband pun sama. So, aktiviti kegemaran kami sambil jalan-jalan ialah makan. Buat apa pun mesti hendak makan. Terima kasih Ya Allah kerana kurniakan kepada hamba Mu nikmat makan.

People say I'm petite. Maybe now but not many people know that I've had an episode of chubbiness before and not to say overweight but certainly not an ideal weight for my height. At that time I was working in Temerloh. Eating outside is quite expensive so we cooked everyday. My housemate was a dietitian but she herself is a big eater. Hari-hari masak nasi without fail. Plus we're really good cook. Ehem. My regret was that I wasn't active physically compared to my student days. Also I'm not aware of my own increasing weight. I guess I'm too absorbed by how petite I am as people said. I became ignorant that however petite you are but when you eat more than what you need, you will become gemuk as well! Saya cuma tersedar bila satu hari di satu seminar kawan-kawan kolej yang lama tidak jumpa semuanya mencubit, meramas pipi dan lengan saya kerana geram dengan chubbiness saya. I was shocked literally.

Nowadays I watch what I eat especially carbs. Oleh kerana saya suka makan, saya kena cari jalan supaya dapat makan tapi dapat kawal berat badan. Usually I eat less on weekdays because it's easier to hold my appetite when I'm at work. Petang balik kerja pun jarang makan nasi. Lunch everyday is nasi seciput atau separuh, meat etc dan sayur banyak-banyak. Kadang-kadang tak makan nasi ganti dengan sup atau tomyam. Just to keep my tummy full. Jadi taktik saya ialah kurang makan pada hari kerja tapi enjoy makan pada weekends dan bila keluar dating dengan suami. So far masih berjaya.
