determination

This is my meal for Idul Adha.

Just a plain capcay -with low salt that made it even tasteless-. Poor me.. But not really once you have that strong determination to change, everything is easy and the food tastes delicious! Yeah actually I have no difficulties on eating healthy food (spinach, salad, broccoli, grains, soy.. YUMMY!), and I don’t like junk food (as in fast food) much, but my guilty pleasures are hawker foods like batagor, pempek, baso.. oh my.. those are hard to resist :( So yeah it needs hard work and really determined to it, and family&friends’ supports! (and I started to preach them about healthy foods :P)

“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es.” said Frenchman Brillat-Sabarin, which means “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” I agree that what you eat reflects who you are, at least reflects how far you concern about your own health and body :P

I’m not a vegetarian (or not yet?). Even my role-model, Kris Carr, turned into vegan since she’d been diagnosed by the c-word, gue nggak akan ikut-ikutan. Nggak tau kenapa dari dulu konsep vegetarian ini nggak masuk aja di hati gue. Meskipun gue penyayang binatang, tapi gue pikir ada beberapa hewan yang memang tercipta untuk diternakkan dan dikonsumsi manusia seperti ayam, kambing, sapi, ikan dll. Asal nggak disiksa aja. Dan kalo soal sehat, gue merasa masih membutuhkan protein hewani coz they’re not all bad. Harus picky aja mana yang bagus mana yang jelek, dan yang paling penting nggak kebanyakan! Porsinya dikit aja, lebih banyakin sayur buah kacang2an dan protein nabati lainnya. At least I’ve turned from 75% meat 25% veggies to vice versa. Lumayanlah, pelan2 :P. Dan syukurnya gue emang suka, bukan karna kepaksa.

And this is my desserts :P
