LAST NIGHT WE WERE SERVED FAST FOOD and as it was getting late and I was starving, I ate it, hated it and absolutely regret it.
I didn't always dislike junk food, in fact I used to almost live on it. That was until the fabulous Rio Jorolan indirectly introduced me to the concept of healthy eating and I've been so thankfully conscious of what I eat ever since.
Of course, she has her own personal food choices and I have mine. For me it's basically an avoidance of anything blatantly processed, and an adherence to the old Go-Grow-Glow formula, with the addition of alcoholic beverage and dessert.
Living in the Philippines where people eat rice and ulam for breakfast, lunch, merienda and dinner, I get asked a lot if I'm on a diet.
No. I'm not on a diet.
But I would choose a deli sandwich over a burger, a slice of cake over candy, real juice over concentrate, home-cooked ramen over instant, baked anything over fried, fresh ingredients over a mix, and I would -on any day- rather eat Crispy Pata than a bag of chips. Of course sometimes I have both. But point is, I eat well. Very well. And I guess I am in fact on a diet.
A balanced one.
What kind are you on?

WHEN WILL WE SEE YOU?! Let's eat good food soon!
Let's eat something French ;-D
Or if we're really gonna promote healthy eating, let's go Corner Tree Cafe or I wanna try Bistro Vert! Vegetarian/sustainable food!
Are you free on Monday night???
This entry just made me hit rock bottom for I just stuffed my face with takeaway kfc-wannabe chicken and chips. But I'm afraid I'd choose a bag of cheesy chips over baked potatoes, both a slice of cake and candy, ice cream over frozen yoghurt, the list goes on. Must get a hold of Rio Jorolan maybe? Lol I like your idea of not being on a diet but simply having a balanced meal. I should give that one a go. Thanks :)
Aw, junk food once in a while is fine, for as long as majority of your food choices are relatively healthy :-) Your skin, health and figure will thank you for it! Haha
