FD Day 1: It's 1-800-Eat-Well

every night on my way to work, i'd drive by this billboard that asks you "worry no more" about your weight ever again because they can help you and that you should "call now at 1-800-Get-Thin". it's hard not to notice it especially when it's strategically placed not too far away from the traffic light; and i can't help but think to self, what wonders or miracles can they (all those weight loss programs) do to help people lose weight without them actually doing it the hard way (or rather, the only way) i.e. burn off more calories than they consume by exercising and watching their diet?

there are institutions (note: i'm not referring to the above Lap Band program) that offer surgical procedures to shrink your stomach so you'll eat very very little, and eventually shred pounds because you can't stomach your food even if you want to, and so you'd inevitably burn more than you consume. it makes sense, to a certain extent, except - i can't wrap my head around it... whyyyyy would anyone want to deny themselves from good food??! to me, that idea seems to be a terribly depressing one, to deny self one of the pleasures on earth, just to look good. i could go on ranting about this illogical notion, but i won't go into it this time. :P  anyway. as a reminder to self, eating well is the key to good health, not starving or shrinking stomach. hence the title. :)

here's my list of food i consumed yesterday:
- oatmeal with milk and a spoonful of nutella
- Gelusil antacid
- marmite soup w broccoli, 3 dumplings
- 1 Reese's piece
- Milo
- popcorn
- cheetos, wheat thins
- subway sandwich veggie delite
- 2 choc chip cookies, coffee

 some Marmite goodness :)  

what about you, are you eating well?

Junnie!

No really! You should try it! It's heavenly. :)) Just cook your oatmeal with milk (I microwave it, but you can definitely do it the old-fashioned way), and then add nutella to your own taste into it after it's done. Stir well and serve. It's just like having choc syrup in your oatmeal. Try putting a whole choc chip cookie in your oatmeal too! That's even better! ;)

Oh and btw,

The gelusil was for my gastric pain. I thought I could survive the night (at work) without eating, but obviously the plan back fired. -__- plus, i was extremely stressed that night too. so that must've contributed to the increased secretion of gastric juice in my stomach! :P
