My Confession, My Agreement

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
J.R.R. Tolkien [1892-1973]

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.
Mark Twain [1835-1910]

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
George Bernard Shaw [1856-1950]

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
Benjamin Franklin

Gluttony is not a secret vice.

My Confession

I have a very bad habit.

A very, VERY bad habit.

My problem is

I have a very...

generous diet.

When I see food...

[especially food that I like]

I tend to lose control.

I become Janna-the-glutton but

you can also politely consider me as a connoisseur over a wide range of cuisine.

I am no longer the master.

My stomach is.

[Obsession is written all over the picture above.]

I've been told that I've been a guzzler all my life.

and I don't see how I can deny that.

When my mom had me, I made her skinnier than she ever was when she was a young girl.

I think I consume more than a pregnant mother.

And at least pregnant mothers have a reason to devour so much.

Okay, I know I'm growing.

But I heard that I don't have to eat
2 pieces of bread with whatever I can spread on it in the morning before school begins,
one thosai or roti canai and a bowl of cendol or nata de coco during recess,
one nasi lemak after school,
noodles or rice with whatever that's leftover when I get back home,
whatever sweet or savoury I can fill my mouth with and
a bowl of red bean soup with extra sago or whatever's boiling or nicely chilled in the evening,
have a plate of rice with whatever's served, two plates of rice if a hot favourite is included in the menu for dinner
and a late night snack
ALL IN ONE DAY!

What? You thought I was exaggerating?

My family and friends are my witnesses.

THAT'S ABOUT 6 MEALS A DAY.

WHERE GOT PEOPLE EAT SO MUCH A DAY WAN?!

Everytime someone offers me food,

I barely say 'no'.

Instead...

This is what happens.

You offer me more?

You think I'll stop?

NO!

THEREFORE

I SHALL MAKE AN AGREEMENT

AND EVERYONE WHO READS MY BLOG SHALL BE MY WITNESS.

BEHOLD!

FROM THIS DAY FORTH,

1. JANNA SHALT CONSUME EDIBLES MODERATELY.
2. JANNA SHALT NOT OVEREAT.
3. SIX MEALS A DAY IS NOT PERMITTED.
THE LIMIT SHALT BE FOUR MEALS A DAY...
OR MAYBE FIVE. :D
4. JANNA SHALT LEARN HOW TO SAY 'NO'.
IF JANNA DESIRES FOR EVEN ONE BITE OF EDIBLES AFTER SHE REACHES THE LIMIT,

THEN SHE IS ALLOWED TO HAVE JUST ONE BITE.
IF SHE MUST, SHE SHALT HAVE TWO.
But that's it.

The challenge is on.
RAWR!

Gah! Maybe I should just take the deworming tablets that I was given.
