Friday Fitness: Why I Prefer to Cook My Own Food?

By Tanvi Rastogi @tanviidotcom

My struggle with food is nearly over. I do not live to eat , and food has not been my enemy for the longest time now. I eat what I want, when I want, as much as I want. Of course, since I am a sensible person ( ) I want to eat healthier things, I eat on time ( now! ), and in small or moderate portions. Problem solved, you'd think ! Now the problem I face is that I only like to eat the food I cook ( before 7pm mostly ). No, it is not 'coz I think I am the best cook in the world. It is 'coz I know my body the best and I make food appropriate for my digestion and metabolism. with a very-few-people being the exception!

Now an average person does not ( would not! ) understand my logic. Contrary to most people I ENJOY eating at home. I enjoy cooking my own food. I do not feel I need a break from the kitchen. Food has become a part of my life, like breathing, sleeping, . And when I do feel I need a break, I trust sandwiches to be the best option ( exercising ).

  • I need to know what is in there, and how much? Like oil, and spices.
  • I trust, only myself! Seriously! This might also extend to other areas in my life
  • Its cheaper, and I am thrifty. No shame in saving!
  • I like my food spicy and hot. No one else makes it like I do ;) #fact
  • How it looks is as important as how it tastes. I like good-looking-everything
  • After 4pm I am certified lazy. Eating out? On most days ain't gonna happen
  • I am a borderline germ-o-phobe What's the proof that everyone washes their hands?
  • I like the compliments And I get them 9 out of 10 times when I cook! #winning
