Love me for who I am

Staying fit with someone who loves to eat is one of the most difficult challenge you could have. I have lots of friends who loves to eat and laughs at you whenever they know you’re on a diet. Friend indeed they say. As I challenge myself to stay fit starting tomorrow, I still want to stick to my convictions and perceptions in life. “Love yourself” is one of the common sayings and facts in order to stay fit. I love myself that comes to the point of bulging into any kind of food as long as it seems delicious. And the no guilt-free experience starts to creep in to regrets that should’ve been exercise rather than calorie gained experience. I love myself that I don’t want to feel and encounter those kinds of calories gained experiences.

As I continue to observe men, I would totally agree that they are indeed visual. They like model-like body features. Even as a lady, I admire those models that stays fit and fabulously lean. But what I just can’t accept coming from a man is that he would not like me for being ME. You see, my body structure is some like heavy bottom, curvy yet still beautiful (Confident!!). Hearing those compliments and comments from men rings my bell that says “I will not make an effort just for you to like me…. and fit in to your standard! Love me for who I am”. Those were the words that encourages me to focus on the motive of exercising – loving myself. My body is not mine, and I’m not getting younger. I should take care of my body, as a gift from Above, As a steward I should know how to control my eating habits and to enjoy food as well.

Love me for who I am not by what you want to see. I don’t want to be selfish through that statement mentioned earlier but its absurd as a woman who wants to fit in to that criteria that will never make it. In the end I know that someone will love me for who I am and will not push me to do things that I don’t want to do. I believe that someone will encourage me with his gentle words of motivation, I believe that someone out there will everyday say I am beautiful no matter what is my vital statistics. I believe that more than desires actions should still follow.

Food hunter

For the past few weeks, my friends noticed I always have new posts on FB and it made me realized at I’m a food hunter. What I can’t resist keeps on coming my way. Instead of choosing diet I end up eating a lot with no limits (well, case to case basis). Yet, as much as I wanted to eat my favorites and give my taste buds an experience of my food choice, I need to be on a “budget” wise gear.

I have friends with different personalities from different places. when I’m with them, I need to be sure that I have money on me because some of them would prefer to choose clean street foods and some would prefer Asian prestigious restaurants.

Actually, I learned to spend money for food from my father. I was a quick buyer of clothes back then but I learned that it will not help my stomach satisfy and it can wait. So from then on, I started buying sweets, rich in carbs and tons of calories a day whenever I’m off to grocery. but it also took me to be wise on eating foods especially discarding junk foods and loving green foods instead.

So here are some of my own desserts made by me….

this is my own “S” – spaghetti macaroni for my lunch. Whenever I don’t feel rice, I would replace it to pasta instead.
