Ask yourself, is it worth the guilt?

By Joy Bauer

When it comes to food, the wrong habits can be disastrous. Here's how to help yourself eat better and have more energy.

Bad habit: Skipping meals
Letting yourself get too hungry is one of the worst things you can do if you're trying to lose weight. When you finally do eat, you're likely to gobble down too much. It's also much harder to make good choices if you're ravenous.
Fix it: Eat breakfast and then refuel every four to five hours. If you rarely stop once your day begins, plan what you'll eat. Consider easy options like microwaveable healthy meals, low-fat cottage cheese and fruit, or a high-fiber nutrition bar and a container of nonfat Greek yogurt. The healthy carbs and lean protein will provide long-lasting energy.

Bad habit: Eating out all the time
Restaurants are a caloric minefield. Portion sizes can be huge, and chefs often have a heavy hand with salt, fat, and sugar.
Fix it: If you can't cook at home, limit the damage. Avoid alcohol, which contains empty calories and loosens inhibitions, making it tougher to order wisely. Stick with water or have a glass of wine or a light beer if you really want a drink. Tell the waiter not to bring the bread basket, and order a salad instead. This will help curb your appetite. Ask for olive oil and vinegar on the side and go light on the oil. Next, pick a lean protein entrée, such as fish or chicken, and choose preparation methods that use little fat, such as poaching, grilling, or broiling.

Bad habit: Using food as comfort
Most people who struggle with their weight use food to help them deal with negative emotions or stress. When the food is all gone, the problem is still there, and it's been compounded by guilt over having eaten too much.
Fix it: Try labeling your feelings ("I'm sad, not hungry"), and remind yourself that eating won't solve things. Visualize how you'll feel after eating, and ask yourself if it's worth it. Then choose an alternative activity, such as calling a friend, taking a walk, or reading. Over time, these activities, not food, will be the first things you think of when you need a pick-me-up.

Bad habit: Eating when you're not hungry
Snacking even though you are full makes the pounds add up.
Fix it: The next time you're about to pop something into your mouth, assess your hunger level. If you're not truly hungry, don't eat. If you're a little peckish, allow yourself to get a bit hungrier. When you do sit down to eat, adhere to the Japanese saying hara hachi bu, which means "eat until you are 80 percent full." Chances are that in 15 to 20 minutes, you'll be perfectly satisfied.

I've been tagged

This is the 1st time I am doing this. Few months back, Rahman did tag me, but I tak buat.haha.. Anyway, it is about DAYS.. (Mon-Sun) Well, I've chosen last week.

Monday

It was a public holiday. Was in PD holiday with my best friend. Reached KL around 3pm then headed to Tesco Extra at Selayang with Atie to buy groceries. After shopping, went back home, unpacked, and sleep early.

Tuesday

Work! Ramai lak MC. So I was so busy covering other colleagues duty. I barely touched my own work.

In the evening, went to class. I really don't like attending this class. I think all AIS lecturers are boring, very the DUHHHHH. Just few more weeks to go to finish my degree.

Wednesday

Still ade yang MC. So busy doing admin matters. Today manged to do MY work. Need to complete the EA form and E form for submission. Target 13/3/2009.

Good news, FAR cancelled. Puan Rose ada hal. I think I went somewhere, but I cant recall.

Thursday

Su came back.. So I was not that busy anymore. My target to complete the FORMS were on schedule. No class today, I sensed i went somewhere but I cant recall where to. hahaha...

Friday

It has been raining since yesterday. So the weather was so nice. The best day of the week. I really love Friday. Don't you? The FORMS were completed. So i did the made submission and distributed it to the staffs.

Got class in the evening. Today, my bf wore a lime green baju melayu. I was so stunned when I saw him at parking... He looked soooooooo handsome. hahaha.. We had dinner after class, as usual.

Saturday

Appointment with my Financial Planner @ Friendster Cafe. haha.. I am an accountant to be but yet I need a FP to plan my finance. hehe.. I had invested my EPF. So was thinking to do a cash investment. mmm still thinking about it. And she even introduce me a saving plan. mmm..

After the appointment, met my bf. We went to Time Square but otw, it rained very heavy. Bobi was there with his family. So was thinking to meet them. But once I reached there, he was about to leave. He said, he went shopping(beli tie) then was looking for Wendy's. I pun tak tau Time Sq. ada Wendy's. Then he tried to find a place to eat, but the place doesn't suits him. So they went to NURIN! hahaha.. masa I jalan2 I terjumpa Wendy's which was located at one corner. hahaha... Oh I forgot to mention that we watched "Race to the Witch Mountain". The Rock berlakon. best! dahlah handsome. and macho! hihi..

Sunday

Ada class FAR tapi kejap je. hihi... Had breakfast at McD. Bumped into kak letop. Then after class man, hafiz, bobi, nua, letop n I had brunch. I minum je. All of them went back after lepak, nua n i headed back to UiTM to study MAF.hihi.. We managed to cover 1 chapter, then headed to Sunway to watch "Watchmen"--- BORING!!!!! jgn tgk. Lepas tgk wayang, kitorg blk lah.... I slept early.

So briefly something like that. Sapa nak buat? I pun tak tau.. coz I only have 4 contacts in my list. hahaha

yuhuuu....

It's Friday... the best day of every week. hihi.. I love Fridays. THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! I know it has been a long time since I last update my blog, just a snippets of what happened over the weekends.

7-9 March: HOLIDAY with my best girlfriend. We went to PD and stayed at The Legend Water Chalet. It was the best holiday which we deserved. The chalet was nice, we upgraded our room to sea view which cost an extra RM150 per night. As a complimentary, we were given a F&B voucher for RM50 per night. We arrived early at 1pm. It was raining all the way to PD. During the first night, we just stayed in our room watching TV, and sleep and did some office work. haha.. What else can you asked for, it was a gift to ourselves. Actually it was a fully paid trip so we took the opportunity to spoil ourselves by being lazy bum!

On the second day, the weather was so nice... at last the sun shines. We went to Bayu Beach's beach because The Legend doesn't have it's own beach. We stayed until noon. We swam, sun bath, and gossip. It felt like our skins had absorbed most of the vitamins that needed, and I am actually a bit tan. (at that extreme sunshine, sunblock with 100SPF doesn't work) Then we headed back to out hotel, and stayed in door until evening. We went to Umbai for dinner, which frankly speaking, it was not worth journey.

On our last day, we just rest before heading back to KL. It was raining all the way back to KL. Can you imagine.

Overall, we enjoyed our fully sponsored holiday. But The Legend Water Chalet's breakfast buffet was sucked! NO other hotels can compete with PJ Hilton's buffet!

BTW, my bro just came back from PLKN. He said he enjoyed being there, making friends from all over the country, etc.

berbicara

One of my director is a very well-known person in Bali. He is like a king there. He offered us to stay at one of his 'castle' if we are planning to go there. Well, I am planning to go there in May/June with my coursemates, he said it is OK staying at his place. Jimat on accomodation. Just worry on food n flight.

Earlier today, he asked me to call the Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah in Bali and speak to the officer in-charge on certain things. It was funny because I barely knew how to converse in Bahasa Indonesia. The conversation was something like this:

Lady: Helo kantor pembuat akta tanah. Boleh saya bantu?

Me: Helo. mmm Boleh saya mmm berbicara dgn Karma (bukan nama sebenar)?

Lady: Maaf, Ibuk Karma tiada di kantor.

Me: Oh mmm.. saya sebenarnya hubungi dari kuala lumpur, ingin berbicara dgn mmm.. ibuk karma mmm mengenai bos saya...mmm... bapak... so and so..

Lady: Oh Maaf, Ibuk Karma berada di Jakarta.

Me: Boleh saya tahu kapan dia pulang?

Lady: Ibuk hanya pulang pada tanggal certain dates.

Me: Boleh saya tahu sama ada dia periksa emailnya?

Lady: Maaf, saya tidak pasti.

Me: Oh, begitu. Baiklah. tidak mengapa.. saya akan hubungi Ibuk Karma setelah dia pulang. Terima kasih ya.

Lady: Sama2.

When I put down the phone, I laughed out so loud. Then I reported to my director that the officer was not around, so he asked me to follow up. Then I told him, I am not good with Bahasa Indonesia. He said, you'll learn! ha3.. Ya ampun bapak!

Happy Belated Birthday To Me!!!

Well, now I am officially 27 – not a girl not yet a woman.

"I used to think I have the answers to everything. But now I know that life doesn’t always go my way. I’ve seen so much more than you know now. So tell me to shut my eyes. I am not a girl not yet a woman. All I need is time, a moment that is mine, while I’m in between."

Thank you to all my lovely friends - Rahman, Kin, Z, Bobi, Jijul, Bob, Jabo, Atie, Wina, Aimi, Su, Wak, who else? My family, oh ya Aliff Omar in Madinah, those in FB, and not to forget from my special one and those I did not mentioned. Thank you sooooooooooo much.

Well, yesterday was a turning point to everything. At this age, I wonder what lies ahead of me. Well I am in the ‘future’ that I planned years back. Only 1 thing that I planned still at the planning stage. I hope that particular plan will soon become a reality.
