Yes I'm a Foodie....

I remember writing a kickass good-bye letter to 2009 here. For some reason, 2010 has been surprisingly impressive [so far]. I 've got all I wanted, I'm happier than I was in 2009, I am doing perfect [touch wood] and I hope it remains the same. Bleh, but who wants to know what happens tomorrow? Until now its super fine. And I realized I've gained 4 kgs [8 pounds if I'm not wrong] in one month. And was shocked to see the weighing machine showing a good number this time, at least not like before, the oh-so-under-weight-you-are number. I jumped off the machine, rubbed my eyes, removed my cell phone from the pocket [to make sure it wasn't adding extra numbers on that machine :-P]. I stood again, to recheck if it was NORMAL. I called MOM. There was a silence. She knows I was checking weight, but she shot a BLAH look at me. I ran towards her, pulled her over to the machine, stood again and winked at her, pointing one finger towards the machine. She looked at me once, then at the machine [TWICE]. Then at her Hand bag once. I asked her what she was upto? She pulled out her reading glasses to make sure she read it right. And YES! Celebration time for the entire family because I gained 4 kgs, which was so unbelievable.

But that made me feel tad inwardly attentive all together. OMG am I looking too fat? That question fed me too much of worry. Because previously even if I overate it never made a difference, so I was a lil nervous about looking at my NEW self. Okay whatever. I decided to keep a track of what I eat as I determined not to disappoint the new pair of jeans I recently bought. I made a list of ways to avoid over eating and how to go for a walk to keep myself fit. But then, rules are for papers eh? Now being a major hogger is the best thing you know? Because previously I always skipped food whenever I was grumpy, upset, depressed and most importantly lazy. And by skipping food, I would get so much patience especially when I'm bound to deal with those sort of moods. Like as if I've scared my worries away?! But now there's a LOT of difference I see in myself. I am being less grumpy, less depressed but even if I am, I know food has become my favourtie thing.

I knew how I always told mommy how much I hated some of the veggies. And how I almost cried when she cooked something I never liked. And mommy used to show me a basket full of maggie packets in the kitchen. "Eat that junk if you don't like that veggie", she'd say to me. I prefer eating that veggie than cooking maggie for myself. Yes, lazy bum you are allowed to call me that. For a change I don't remember which veggie I hated before? I started eating almost everything. Which made it easier for mommy to NOT buy too many maggie packets these days and that doesn't mean I started ignoring maggie. Its still like my 'chaddi buddy' [Childhood friend].

And lastly I congratulate myself on successfully gaining a pound of flesh, that's like a biggest achievement for me this year. [Even though some of em say I look the same, LEAN and no change, but weighing machines don't lie].

Make sure you don't miss out on eating excess of watermelons, eggs, fruit salads, mangoes [Ah I know no one will miss this one], more veggies, cucumber and apple salad! And don't miss out on drinking Tang, lime soda and red bull. Water is the best option though. [That's on my summer eating and drinking list.]

EAT WELL. STAY FIT. BE A FOODIE.
