wah not eating for 18hours and counting has made me lighter by 0.7kg!

haha actually at 9pm ytd i wanted to eat something one, but it was too late alr.
you know, i always think twice if i have to eat after 6pm, if i'm at home.
i'll take the food, look at it and then ask myself, "will you regret it?"
99% of the time i'd say "yes", then i'll put the food back lor.

so the trick to getting me to eat and put on weight
is to take me out to eat good stuff.
or basically, let me not have food money worries.

you know, food money worries was what i had when i was in primary school.
like primary 6 like that, THE TIME WHEN I WAS GROWING THE MOST.
my mom only gave me $1 everyday,
and a bowl of mee siam already cost $0.80.
totally not enough lor, the mee siam in my pri sch was awesome.
then i couldn't save any money at this rate;
couldn't buy ice cream to eat,
couldn't buy gassy drinks,
couldn't buy erasers (HAHA),
couldn't buy the salty animal biscuits to snack on in class,
you get the idea.
it was very pathetic, i was suffering.
luckily they only had mee siam on wednesdays.
so i spent the rest of the days eating the $0.30-$0.40 plain noodles.

i kept asking my mom to increase my school money but she refused cos she said that's what she gave my sis (who is a whole 5 yrs older than me) back then too.

haha, and i still remember i kena scolded by my parents like mad cos i borrowed money from my friends in p1 just so i could buy an ice cream. i never did it again! and it's also the reason why i'm always so clear cut when it comes to money matters.

i think it backfired la, i mean the most important thing that i should have learnt is not to spend unnecessarily on food (i.e. spending $3 in a food court rather than >$15 on a meal in a nice place), but this didn't happen.

on hindsight, i can't really blame my mom also.
when i was younger my two sisters were really really really fat.
(esp my eldest sis. she went aussie to study and totally ballooned)
i was so scared i told them "i will never become like you."
then i ate very little lor, or i just gave them my food. (so evil!)
