A Sunday of Gluttony


I slept for 12 hours straight last night and woke up feeling slightly recharged today.

After having a big plate of pork dumplings for lunch, I decided to keep my facial appointment even though it was raining cats and dogs outside.

Bee drove me to 1U, I ran through the car park in rain and braced a shopping mall full of weekenders despite my recently-developed crowd phobia, only to be told that I couldn't do my LHE treatments today due to the sun exposure I had during my recent trip to the beach.

It would have been helpful if I was actually given that piece of information when we scheduled the appointment last week, don't you think? :/

So I had to ring my husband who had just reached home to come pick me up again.

While waiting for my ride, I wanted some Baskin-Robbins ice cream real bad and the only thing that stopped me from getting it was my unwillingness to walk all the way to new wing.

To curb my cravings, I had another big plate of dumplings when I got home, and washed them down with a bottle of coke. Not forgetting the super-sinful but oh-so-good salted egg yolk pastry with lotus paste mum bought for me.

I went straight to bed after my jumbo snack, and only woke up in time for this dinner Bee's parents were throwing for some close relatives.

A 10-course dinner with crabs, abalone, butter prawns, and lots of bad cholesterol later, I'm now sitting in my bed thinking about the Baskin-Robbins ice cream I didn't have this afternoon.

It's no wonder that I can't zip up my favourite skinny jeans anymore. :|

I'm sure you would be able to get back in shape in no time once you start working. By the way, what is LHE?

wow. u know i have been eating a lot [bad and good fats] but i still lose weight until i can put a fist into my waist while wearing my fav pants. and i don't seem to put on weight if i eat lots of nutrition or good food. somewhere in my digestive organs must have gotten stuck ...

but i would love to eat baskin robin ice cream. but not now since i'm having a bad cough since september. :(

hehe... if only i can continue to dream to see what is the ending to my dream espionage. :D

I'm slowly getting out of shape too. I always get hungry every time i start to study :P.

Cbenc12: I haven't touched my elliptical trainer for months! If only there's a way to lose all those extra layers of fat by sitting on our butts huh? Haha.

Sdovelly: I know! I guess my obsessive compulsive personality pushes me to overdo everything easily. It's good to know that I'm not the only one though. :P

Doreen: It's the Light & Heat Energy treatment which is supposed to stimulate skin collagen to diminish signs of aging and even out skintone? I have no idea what it actually does and how it works, I just got talked into buying the package since I have this weird disability to say no to sales people. :/

Sab: But but but, this is a daily occurrence. :|

Josephine: I know what you mean. I always look forward to lunch when I work, and I tend to overeat to reward myself whenever work gets stressful. :/

Olive Poppy said...

Prettybeautiful: YES IT IS! Especially those really sinful fattening ones! Damn.

Foongpc: The thing is, gluttony is not an once-off event, it happens on a daily basis for me. I have no self control. :|

The Constantly Dramatic One: Oh trust me, with the size of my arse now, you'd rather I slap ya than me sitting on you. Haha.

Renaye: I used to be able to eat a whole cow by myself and not put on any weight too. Sadly, that's a thing of the past and now I put on weight before I even finish my meal. Haha.
You might wanna get that cough (and the unusual weight loss) checked, gal. :)

Emotionalistic: That happens to me too whenever I need to study! And my brother used to get diarrhea whenever he was asked to do his homework. Haha! I guess our bodies convince us that we need to do something else to avoid the stress from actually studying. :D
