Pandas eat bamboo shoots
Ever since I started working as a retail assistant for an organic food store, my appetite has gone out of whack. The busy-ness of the festive season - gift wrapping for last minute Christmas purchases and the endless kerrching! of the cash register, has all left me feeling a bit bleh when it comes to food.
Perhaps it is seeing food hour in, hour out? Don't get me wrong I absolutely believe in what I sell. The quality is top notch and you get renowned products from around the world without having to traverse seas and paying a bomb.
So how bad has it gotten? Buying a salmon rice bowl from Yoshinoya at 1115am and eating it at 1843pm. It got so bad that one day, after a lousy lunch, I simply slumped on the floor, exhausted and drained out, literally, of healthy blood. I dashed out of the store to the pharmacy nearby and started enquiring about multivitamins. I knew people take them to supplement weak diets and irregular meals; never did I think I would actually start eating them at 21 [I always thought it was an 'older' person phenomenon].
Here I am with a bottle of Centrum. Popping a vitamin and mineral packed tablet once a day, believing hidden miraculous stuff are happening in my body. As I eat this I wonder how people with eating disorders manage to keep their bodies going.
I love food too much to forgo anything. A recent revelation spoke firm words to me: honour this body which houses the Holy Spirit, serve Him with a healthy body that is able to walk the distance. I want to welcome the person I love the most in this world into an abode that is welcoming, hospitable, warm and filled with the best stuff as I can possibly afford.
Even with a multivitamin tablet, yes even with this.
