Ayaw! [a-yao]

I am annoyed. Annoyed of people that depend and cling like a leech. Just like those kind of people in school that would just copy your homework word for word. That kind that wouldn't do their jobs in group projects. Those that would rely on hand outs.

I have been dealing with this kind of people for days. I just can't take them.

Temporarily unplugging them from my life. I wish to do it permanently though, but I just can't.

I sent out some baked goodies from my kitchen to giveaway. None of the recipients messaged me back if the goodies were good and approved, or if they were blah or trash can bound worthy.

I wouldn't mind cautious criticisms especially from somebody experienced and learned. It makes me strong. It makes me think and discover ways for improvements.

In this case, does the silence means 'not approved?' Well, I know that their thank yous aren't really expected, but it would be extremely nice to  receive them too.

Should I just bake exclusively for the family?

I think that's the plan from now on.

Definitely!

According to Oprah, "Everybody wants validation!"

That's true, and this applies to me and my goodies.

I was craving for crispy Spam last Friday, and I told the mister about it.

In case you don't know what that is, it's canned cooked meat also known as luncheon meat. Back when I eat solely to satisfy my hunger and not really conscious of what I put in my mouth is nutritious, I would sear an 8th inch thick slice of spam with its own grease until it turns brown and crispy on the outside, served with steamed Jasmine rice, and sunny side up eggs, and with a tall glass of iced Coca Cola on the side.

Translation
Me: Pops, I am craving for Spam. 😔
Him: Don't!

The mister's reply was very short, stern, and clear. He undoubtedly switched off my craving.

I didn't get his support and approval, yet I am especially grateful that I am still on the wagon. He is indeed my reinforcement, motivation, and inspiration for my self improvement healthwise.

I haven't gained pounds which is really good. But what's best though is to lose some more. Currently working on the last 15 lbs.

Wish me luck, and send me prayers.
