Spinach and Tofu Salad with Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing
I have been looking for them inside the mirror–during day time under natural sun light; indoor under soft tungsten light; from the office with bright fluorescent light–but they are nowhere to be discovered. They have indeed gone missing.
What I see in the mirror–and most evidently from my travel pictures–are fats, or fat cells, as my gym instructor on Norwegian Cruise Line would refer to. These fat cells have overtaken my face and swallowed up my cheekbones. They have claimed their green card and permanent residency on my ever bulging and protruding stomach and waistline. That’s not all; they’ve also crawled into the contour of my face, staked their claims on my thighs, my arms, my butt, even my toes! They are pervasively and invasively everywhere
Those are the sad consequences of what would have been a perfect cruise vacation. When I mentioned I packed on pounds in my previous post about binge eating during my trip, I wasnâ€t half joking. I have indeed put on weight. I have become “bulat” in Malaysian language, meaning r-O-O-O-O-O-u-n-d.
As a remedy, I have to start starving myself eating healthy to shed those unwanted cells; I resort to vegetables, fat cells’ worst enemy.
Eating healthy doesn’t mean that one has to swallow tasteless and unappetizing food. I started off my healthy eating diet today with a bowl of this pleasing, fresh, and delicious spinach and tofu salad with sesame miso dressing–a wonderful salad served at my favorite Japanese joint.
I felt great after eating this spinach and tofu salad. Listen fat cells, I am fighting back, and now get off my cheekbones please!!!
