    Controlling My Food Choices and Portion

    Daily writing prompt What details of your life could you pay more attention to? View all responses

    I’ve always been a foodie.

    I enjoy my going on food trips with my family or friends. If I’m bored or sleepy, I would look for a snack, which again is well, food.

    Thus, over the years, the weight started piling up and towards the end of primary school, I noticed that my weight posed an issue. As a child, I was overweight. 

    I recalled visiting the doctor once when I was in primary school coz I was unwell and he made me stand on the weighing scale and perhaps he did say more but at a young age, all I remembered was him yelling “Your child is FAT. FAT. FAT. FAT. F-A-T, FAT!”, all throughout my checkup and as I was leaving his office with my mom.

    It felt like as if I had committed a felony. When in reality, he was trying to point out on how unhealthy it is for me, somehow in a rather direct way.

    Over the years, I’ve struggled with my weight. It was never constant and always up and down. I’ve tried various diets which didn’t stuck long. 

    The only time I properly lost weight was when I started my housemanship journey. Amidst me eating at the wrong time, somehow the weight just magically went off. Firstly, perhaps I was too occupied with work to eat properly, hence, unknowingly I tend to practice intermittent fasting almost everyday and secondly, my movements have increased dramatically. Walking above 15k steps per day was a norm.

    However, as I progressed throughout my postings, I learnt how to fit eating back into my busy schedule and the weight started piling back slowly.

    I brought the matter up to a dear friend and she mentioned that perhaps, I could try controlling my food portion. I reflected and realised that all these while, I’ve been consuming food in the usual portion which didn’t had an effect on me previously as I was constantly on the move.

    Thus, if there is something I seriously need to pay more attention to, it would be my food choices as well as the portion. Food is extremely delicious and good. Sadly, I would say that I fall into the category of “Live to Eat” rather than “Eat to Live”.

    Hence, it’s time for me to take charge and make a change towards my food choices and start my journey towards a healthier life.

    Reflection of the Paediatrics Posting

    Related Posts:

    Paediatrics Posting. The posting of tiny human beings.

    Looking back, I feared entering into the Paediatrics posting. I think I say that for almost every posting.

    However, it was one that I fell in love with before I even off-tagged, as mentioned in one of my articles previously.

    The stress level was not as bad as it was in other postings mainly because we were dealing with children. Not to say that treating them is easier, in fact it isn’t as they tend to fight back, scream or cry a lot.

    I mean they’re just children.

    But perhaps when I do come to work, the smile on their cute faces were enough to alleviate some of the stress and checking them clinically involves a skill as they are easily triggered. 

    I would find myself playing with them or calming them down. Most of the time if I were to auscultate them, they would either start playing with it, swat it away or start crying.

    The Paediatrics posting is the place I started eating again amidst the stress. Irregardless of the amount of patients and work to do, there is always time for lunch or at least our superiors will make sure of that. 

    It was also the place where I enjoyed the long rounds in the morning and afternoon as well as I would present to specialists. 

    I made a good friend with a medical officer who I still keep contact with albeit having left the posting. I enjoyed the days where I would be allocated to work with him. 

    Having worked both in the general ward and nursery ward, the experiences were different but enjoyable nonetheless.

    If there is a posting I wouldn’t mind repeating, it is the Paediatric Posting and I hope you do or will or had enjoyed this posting just as much as I did.

    Sometime ago, I wrote about “The Small Change I Hope My Blog Would Make“, whereby I mentioned that with every article written and uploaded on this website would spread some form of comfort and positivity, especially within the community of junior doctors.

    Perhaps I’m just simply being optimistic. I have to. That keeps me going, even on difficult days to the point it has become a default reflex for me.

    Nonetheless, I love to write and sometimes I do get lost that I tend to deviate from the topic at times and divert back to the main topic at hand.

    Living in this world which has its flaws and problems at every corner, I try to see the good aspect of things and thus, I try to end my articles on a good note or some encouragement, which is mainly directed at me actually. However, I never know who may be reading my written articles and perhaps just need some encouragement and kind words at the moment.

    It serves as a “happy ending” just like a fairytale in which I escape in one too many times.

    Daily writing prompt What things give you energy? View all responses

    Working in the hospital, I wished that I had endless amount of energy. This is due to the never ending amount of patients as well as the lack of manpower.

    Despite having completed your side of work, you just wished that you could help out. However, once you are done for the day, the thought of even going out is too tiring, upon returning home.

    Thus, the evenings after work are usually spent recuperating and resting before going to bed to repeat the whole thing again the following day.

    These are what keeps me going throughout the day.

    1. Coffee

    I need to have my morning coffee. I just absolutely have to.

    My morning is not complete without my morning coffee as my body will feel sluggish and tired. I’m somewhat also more irritable and unable to think or move fast.

    Perhaps it is the caffeine addiction speaking.

    After I have had my black coffee to start the day and packed my necessary coffee flasks for work, it is then that I am ready to walk out the door and head to work.

    2. Chrysanthemum Tea

    I have built a liking towards cold chrysanthemum tea.

    Personally, I enjoy the sugarless chrysanthemum tea. However, the ones available at work are only those in the can and has sugar in it.

    Nevertheless, I still make do with it. Besides it is affordable too. Sipping that cold soothes my soul and reenergises me.

    3. Cold Green Tea

    In addition to cold chrysanthemum tea, I would usually prepare a jug of green tea and store it in the fridge.

    This is for me to enjoy upon returning home and also serves as a healthier alternative to chrysanthemum tea which is packed with sugar.

    Thus, the things that energises me are not food but simply drinks.

    Daily writing prompt What gives you direction in life? View all responses

    GPS. Get it?? Damn, am I funny! WOOHOO!

    I don’t know what gives me direction in life. Does anyone? Does anyone have any direction or are we all just flailing away, blind and clueless? Are the people who claim to have direction just deluded and chasing fairy tales around through life? It seems that way to me.

    I guess, like everything else in my universe, what direction I get comes from my family. Jen and the kids. Where they go, I follow. When they need, I try to get. Simple as that. I probably take direction from work too, but is that life or just profession? Is there a difference?

    I can say for sure that I do not take direction from the stars or the calendar or any fairy tales. I am as clear on that as clear can be. It makes me sad that I know that a significant portion of the responses to this daily prompt are going to say exactly that. That is pretty depressing to me. Is such a reaction in some part a source of direction? No, I don’t think so.

    I’m more and more on team flailing away blind and clueless here. What’s a red head to do, you know?
