rm10 for food a day in upm :) compared to ipba with all the temptation... lol

living in upm, despite its MANY cons, but i found something very meaningful and beneficial. because the food source are far,far away, i have less tendency to eat dinner. so i was basically left with breakfast, lunch, and biscuits at night.

for breakfast, i took a meal replacement that cost me around rm5. i add some psyllium husk to make me feel full. (if you're wondering, it's a type of fiber that's good for someone that seldom eat fruits like me hihi) and if i'm craving for something sweet i'll munch a packet of biscuit too.

for lunch, there's much choice to go in upm. flat lama, putra food court near K5, restoran tepi tasik, and the small stall in front of my fakulti pengajian pendidikan. i usually spend around rm5 for lunch. the most i have spend for lunch until now maybe.. rm6? the one time at mcD tu lain cerita.

and for dinner, for me it's just water and maybe another packet of biscuit. coz the food source is SO far,far away.

le UPM situation

le me : i'm not hungry. i just want to chew something.

le mind : penat seh nak menapak turun tingkat 3. nak kene jalan lagi. pastu nak naik balik tingkat 3. pastu bajet lari. pastu lemak bertambah...

le nafsu : +_+ (lost) 

which is a good thing. i can totally imagine le me being in ipba.

le ipba situation

le me : i'm not hungry. i just want to chew something. 

le nafsu : scud bukak. garden pun ade. makan burger malam2 ni sedap jugak.. ala, burger bukan mahal pun.. takat rm2 something apelah sangat kan.. lagipun lif ade, xyah nak menapak bagai...

le mind : ~ah #_#

LOL

i just hope i can stay strong when i come back to ipba. still mising it X)

   

how to eat less :)

1. don't eat while watching TV (or that sitcom you just downloaded ) because then you will eat food NOT because you're hungry, but simply because the food is there. also, eating when you're watching those things will cause you to not giving full attention to the eye candy featured in the series. what a waste. and then your waistline went <-------------> not pretty


2. buy smaller plates to put at home. ( well, i can't help it that gerai mamak always had that ginormous plates ) ranging from 8.5 to 10 inches of diameter. well, at least they are cheaper than the large one. and less heavy.


this is psychology. when you have your plate full, you'll feel that you've taken as much as you can, no matter how less the diameter is.


3. put down your fork (or rest your hand) after the third bite. if you eat too fast, you may be full without realizing it. chill for a moment between bites and check your phone if your BFF had send another photo of a hottie.
