Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
Coming back from traveling and not realizing all the good food you
have eaten and the diet you had before went back to you gaining the weight you
didn't expect to gain.
As you come back home certain
clothes no longer fit you because you have gained weight from all the different
kind of food you ate and even if you walked for hours at your tour and walking
to explore you lost no weight because when you got tired all you did was go
back in eating something you called, splurging because you are in a different
place and they don't have that kind of food when you return back to your
homeland.
As people see you coming back
in your homeland someone mistake you as being pregnant and that is when you
begin to look at yourself and place yourself back to the healthy mode that you
are coming back into reality that you are no longer on vacation.
As summer is approaching people
start going on a diet to fit into their summer clothes or clothes to make the
sexy, beautiful or built with muscles and handsome all over again.
Even when someone says, you
look pregnant you get mad at those people saying you are not pregnant and you
complain to them. All they do is laugh at you and you begin to look at yourself
in the mirror if it is really true. You find out your clothes are too big for
you and is falling off your waist and realize it is just an image they see from
you.
You go back to the diet mode
and start eating healthy to hope you will be able to lose your weight when your
next vacation you have planned out you will look good when you take a picture
again.
My friend was telling me I look
fat on our video call. She laughed at me and said, I lost more weight from you
as she shows me her stomach from the mirror how thin she looks compared to me.
I figure I can lose that weight
if I wanted too and I can go back to how I had looked before. I figure I won't
be seeing my friend from two months from now and it gives me enough time to lose
the weight.
Some people like to compete
with each other like we are having a race to see who looks better.
Some people just tell me just to balance the food I eat and my
weight will fall into place and to start exercising to lose the flab in your
arms and stomach that is starting to show.
Good luck to those have a goal to reach the weight they want for the upcoming summer!
