The Confused Chocolate Eater: From Puasa to Paranoia

From Puasa to Paranoia

Today as I was eating lunch at a mamak corner called Dataran at Kota Damansara with some friends, I realized that the fasting month is very near. Holy macaroni! It is in 5 days! Shat! Anyway, I was wondering how I am going to survive the torture of an opera singing stomach for 30 days. Being a 'bottomless pit', as my friends named me due to my non-stop eating, will just make matters worse. Some people will simply say "Look on the bright side. At least you can watch your weight without actually watching them!". Well, if someone says that to me, I’ll automatically go "Hell no!". What bright side?! Bulan puasa is a festival itself. The food that we buy to buka puasa will always be a pleasure. Those Baazar Ramadhan stalls with their kuih-muih, there goes your so-called diet man! The whole night you'd be stuffing every single edible thing down your throat, enjoying it before the next day arrives. Too bad, we Muslims have to fast while having our SPM. Though, I’m considering on not fasting on those particular days. Haha!

By the by, we should not be too paranoid about our weight or size. For me having a full body makes you look healthier. You can go on and say "I look fat!". Go ahead! Nobody is stopping you but please don't moan or whine about it. It's natural for a human being to be all paranoid with themselves but there is no need to make yourself feel worse by staring at them curvaceous, skinny people. I believe that anybody who is thinner then I is suffering from anorexia! Haha! That's how I make myself feel better! No offense to all the thin people in this world. May god bless you. Till next time!
