Simple Life of Us

We are what we eat

We had training yesterday, so we lunched at this coffeeshop just across the street. My colleague, a slim babe, ate sinful oily carrot cake. I read previously that carrot cake is a food that's not meant to be eaten alone - the calories are enough to bust 2 person's meal fat quota. But I thought aloud that she, a slim babe, would be permitted to eat it, well, simply because she could afford it (i.e. the calories).

Another colleague's reply :

For all you know she may be slim but her arteries may be clogged!

Hmmm, betul jugak.

This morning when I rested my head on AH's chest (in another of those episodes of getting up for subuh), I heard his heart beat, loud & strong against my ears. I pray it remains that way for a long time. Mine too, actually. Seriously, it may not worth it to have our arteries clogged from repeated moments of fatty binge meals & repeated thoughts of, I'll eat healthier tomorrow. For our own sake, loved ones, and future loved ones.
