It has been about two weeks now. I simply have no appetite to eat. I got hungry... then I'll just eat whatever available to stave off the hunger. Hubby said, "nasi habis juga sepinggan"... hehehe... Of course I can eat a plate of rice. I just don't enjoy it the way I should. Sigh! It's no fun like that. Now I truly appreciate the desire and pleasure of enjoying our food.
Since I got no appetite to eat, I don't cook. When I tapau food for lunch, I'll probably eat it at 2 or 3 when I can't stand the hunger anymore. If I'm not really hungry, I'll just eat a few bite and can't finish my meal. I wonder if this will make me lose weight. If it does, at least there's something positive out of it. But I don't think my metabolism rate will be very cooperative.
From what I know about dieting and losing weight, if we starve ourselves, our body will be in preservation mode where metabolic rate slows down and fat burning will be slow too. Despite eating afterward, the metabolic rate will still be in preservation mode just in case that's the only meal we could have for a long period. It will return to normal fat burning rate if we have consistent meal at consistent time for a certain time and this will differ from person to person.
So will I lose weight after two weeks? Hmm... I don't believe I will. Though now all I care is about getting my appetite back. I want to want-to-eat something.
Sunflower gives the connotation of cheerfulness, bright, jolly, merry... you get the idea! However, if any content in this blog didn't fit the cheerfulness implied by its name, look at it this way... I'm putting down all the wretchedness, gloom, melancholy feeling in here so I can continue living up to the expectation of making the association to the sunflower.
