Well, maybe I should start this post with;
My name is Valter Dos Santos and I am addicted to Healthy food!
Why is an issue? For several reasons; It's more expensive to eat healthy, it's more time consuming to eat Healthy - simply because it's more difficult to find fast food places that give an REAL healthy option and...the worst of all; People think it's boring.
Everyone around me looks at me when I am eating and look at my plate and do that face I call; 'WTF are you eating' face! Nothing abnormal! It's only protein and veggie.
I try and eat any sugar and 'junkie' stuff in the morning, preferably before 3pm ( I don't know why I have 3pm in my head anyway). Usually I don't eat junkie stuff after 3pm or latest latest 6pm.
I Guess I was born with the 'gift' of not having a sweet tooth - which again lots of people find strange. Most people look at me as if I was an E.T for not liking sweets or deserts. Most of the times I do even try slices or small portions of sweet though I am not a fan.
My healthy habits extends to going to the gym. I like going to the Gym - four, five or even six times per week. And I mean; I do have pleasure in going to the gym. It's the place I cleanse up my mind focusing completely on my body leaving all the problems behind. And most of the times, by empyting my mind at the gym the solution for the problems usually come up. Again it's something else that bothers other people. 'How can you go to the gym five times?' - I feel like saying; 'And what have it got to do with you???'
I like eating my protein and eating health carbs such brocoli, peas, carrots rather than rice and or potatoes. What can I do? Boring? Well...sprry then.
And the funny thing is that I actually heard from people who eat cakes and desersts at 10pm in the evening - I have nothing to do with it and don't really care if someone wants to staff their face with lots and lots of sugar and calories just before they go to bed - I heard the following;
- Why don't you have a slice of cake?
- Because it's 10pm and also because I don't really like eating sugary staff. I do Prefer savory but anyway I am fine thanks (even throw a thanks to show politeness though also say Leave me alone)
- Don't be boring and have a slice of the cake!
- No thanks, I am really fine.
- Well you should!
- Why - and losing my patience and politeness - Why don't you look after your own business and own cakes?
- Because you make me feel bad by eating a cake at 10pm next to you? You make me feel fat!
So it's my fault that you're staffing your face at 10pm, just before going to bed knowing full well that all it's going to turn into fat during your sleep? It's my fault that I can prioritize and also be diciplined. I see...Well - I am sorry, but... I am boring then.
Our body is our temple and I do look after it! I look after my soul and my body. Don't take me wrong as I do have fun and of course have my junkie days. I have my days when I have a Big Mac and my Reeses chocolates though I can be very disciplined and seriously stuffing my face with 1000 calories on a daily basis just before going to bed - unless it's a glass of champagne - no thank you very much!
More and more I realize that to be strong these days means to stick to your guns. And you got to be strong to not follow the crowed and be yourself. More and more society becomes UNIFORM, and boring for me it's to follow a crowed, to follow a circle of people, who you - deep down - might not have nothing in common - just because perhaps it's cool (or wicked as they say these days in London) to be in that circle of people. People find cool these days to follow others leaving behind their own tastes, leaving behind their own wishes and personalities...
