Oh my, to eat or not to eat!

I was pondering about the above several times before I made the final decision to consume this hearty bowl of "Bak kut teh" meaning a type of savoury herbs tea cooked with pork bones and pork belly.

One of my bestie made it for my second son, Jansen, who is underweight but also so happen he loves fat. I mean those fat from meat.

However, this week was the week Jansen was not feeling comfortable. His cyclic inner discomfort came and 'attack' him again, leaving him not wanting to eat nor drink anything.

I 'hunted' around the house to find a more suitable person to consume the BKT. But no one wanted it. Husband said too fat for him. My eldest son shuns fat. Anything food with fat makes him puke. I look here and I look there. No one else except the one in front of the mirror.

Me!

I wasn't willing to throw it away because firstly, wasting food is not in my gene plus my friend really cooked it with all of her heart.

She even made a special meatball for Jansen, which was meat blended with carrots and oats. How could I waste that bowl of love, right?

Look how full of love this bowl is!

I told myself many reasons to eat it because I am not suppose to gain weight anymore!

1. It is made love
2. Don't waste food
3. Just once a while
4. Fat is good too.

And finally...

1. Ahh... It can be like a keto diet if I don't eat rice, haha!

So I gobbled up the whole bowl and the fats and the soup without rice. Just some stir fry lettuce.

Kind of like justify myself that it is okay to eat those fats!!!

While I am typing this, the fats are being digested. 😊
