DO I EAT HEALTHY?
I have come across a dozen of blogs with men and women posting articles about eating healthy, dieting, exercising and so on. I sometimes feel guilty since i was never one of those health conscious people. Then i ask myself do models that are thin as a needle eat? Are they really happy? Salma Hayek once said that she was a bitch when she was dieting and when she was skinny. I feel so sorry for them in a way that they don’t get to enjoy the best things in life that food can offer. MIL is always on my back about me eating anything that is fried and me eating to much rice. I was raised with a lot of frying, fat and skin in my food, its normal for me to eat rice every day.
When MIL was rushed to the hospital and we later learned that her cholesterol is high it got me thinking about my eating habits as well. But food is such a precious commodity that should not be wasted and should be enjoyed to the limit. I don’t have time to keep looking at the foods that i eat, how much calories, fats, proteins, sodium and the list can go on. Frankly i don’t even know how to look at it and i don’t really care. I’m what you would call on a “see food diet”. When i see food i eat it. If it looks, smells and tastes good then its in my mouth. I eat veggies though but not as much as my husband would want to. I have to be a model with my kids about eating veggies. So fat Kayla does good on veggies while Kaitlyn the baby will eat just about anything you put in her mouth,lol…
I love food and i love to eat! Its one of the best things in life and i choose to indulge in every sinful delight i could sink my teeth in. Before i didn’t like cooking since cooking takes a lot of time, preparation, effort yet it take little to no time consuming the food that one had painstakingly cook for how many hours.. That all changed when i became a wife and mother. Now, i cook most of out meals except when hubby offers to cook which i jump at all the time to rest my tired brain from thinking what meal to serve every single day. But back to my eating habits, so far i don’t think i have the energy and the will to turn around and change my eating habits. Maybe because, i think that healthy foods don’t usually taste good while unhealthy foods are the most scrumptious delight in the food world. I know i should, but for now i just want to enjoy every little bit of morsel i can put my mouth on.
