to eat or not to eat

seeing skinny people is nothing new these days. we are constantly bombarded with ads showing skinny people, be it food, clothing, and beauty product ads. a lot of actresses nowadays get much media mileage for showing off sharp shoulder blades and protruding ribcages. i've also stumbled across some pro-anorexia sites, and all i can say is: ano kaya ang masarap kainin ngayon?

i will, however, not deny the fact that i sometimes wish i was a bit skinner. probably a few inches off here and there would allow me to wear my old clothes again - clothes that are now buried (but not forgotten) under all my other clothes. i know i can't give those away. not yet, anyway. i still think (or hope) that i'd get to wear them again someday. just this afternoon, i found myself looking through the plus-size lines at megamall. i barely fit into a free size and L nowadays. i wear my skinny jeans and by the end of the afternoon, i feel my legs wanting to be set free. boo hoo.

i once read that eating small portions help. i am not sure if 1 turon and 2 pcs. palitaw can be considered a small portion. or 2 japanese cakes and 1 biko is equivalent to a small serving. probably if this is spread over a period of 3 hours. but 10 minutes? fugedaboutit.

i once read an actress say that the mere thought of skipping meals to help her lose weight makes her feel even hungrier. hay mare, i can totally relate.

thinking of food makes me hungrier. thinking of food makes me forget about my long-planned diet and my old used-to-fit-me-real-well clothes. oh well.

ano kayang dinner sa bahay?
