When it comes to food, how often do you cheat?
Do you plan to follow a certain diet but end up having more cheat days than you intend to?
or
Do you intend to eat home cooked food for the entire week but end up eating out almost everyday?
You are not alone!!👊
We are partners in crime!
Look at the picture below. It's a plate of lunch for my children.
Prawn paste fried chicken, stir fry mustard leaves and white rice. Served on a plate from our kitchen. The only thing I cook is the rice. 😜 I bought the chicken and vegetables from an economy rice shop. They are my children's top picks. It is a shop that sells a wide variety of dishes (about 50-60), mostly Chinese. The food are pre cooked and displayed on large serving trays. It is self service and faster than the fast food restaurant.
When my children saw the food served to them, they had a debate on whether it was takeaway or home cooked. 😃
My 8 year old boy said: Mummy bought from Bar Wang Fan (the name of the shop where I bought the food)😁
WHILE
my 5 year old girl said: Mummy cooked it. She learnt how to cook the chicken. 😊
Then both would start showing 😕😕 faces and asked me...
Haha! Gotcha! Sometimes, they would still think that I cooked the food. 😝
On busy weekdays, when I have too much to complete; such as going to the gym, writing articles or cleaning the house, I would opt for takeaway lunch. This helps to maintain my sanity.
I have learnt not to be the perfect mom or the supermom. Instead, I aim to be the happy and cool mom whose role is to ensure happiness at home. That means, if mommy feels great, everyone would, naturally... Because my mood would effect them.
Everyone has the right to have time to do their own things. Since everyone in the family is either in school or at work in the mornings, I use that "alone time" for my own projects instead of focusing only in household chores and preparing meals.
