It is not very pleasant to watch me load up my plate at a buffet table. Especially if there is any cheese and antipasti in the spread.
I think my self restraint with food is largely due to my self restraint with spending money. Because when I know the food is free, I literally eat everything I can and two portions of it.
I had this terrible realization while at the Country Place Retreat, and reflecting how I would load up my plate with 6 mini sandwiches at each lunchtime seminar, it was clear-- I had a problem. It was like I was acting out of repression from all the times I wanted food that I did not want to spend money to buy.
Funnily enough, I never feel like overeating when it is home cooked food--my own cooking. Not that I am a bad cook, no I think I am very happy to eat my cooking. But I am also happy to stop as I get full. Similarly with free food when I am a guest at someone's home. But when I outside people's homes, and there is a table of food that I know is FREE. That is when I just CANNOT stop. Scary.
Anyway. I want to put up some pictures of my life outside of streaming videos on Tubeplus and playing 30 rock dvds on tv at home...
I realize the captions are not very informative or clever. But I am too full and my apartment smells like tauchu...
In other news, I am happy to announce all my favorites are in the top 5 of Project Runway Season 10.
I would be happy if either Christopher or Dmitry wins. Though I would be happier if Dmitry wins!
Choose love, choose life, choose happiness.

In the Dandenongs.
A knitted cover for a tractor!
Mickey. The sadistic photo of prey before being eaten by predator.
Hippo and his share Lindt plate.
Some part of Melbourne.

I used to be able to eat a lot especially when there's buffet. It's as if my stomach somehow turned into a gigantic elastic bag. Ratu Buffet that's what my mom called me once.
But not anymore. Age appears to take away my ability :(
No I totally get you! I do not think I could load up the way I used to, but relative to other people our age I think my body just reacts in this uncontrollable way when my brain registers "Free food ahead"
Ratu buffet hahahaha. I think I was more of the Penyelinap buffet
