Portion Control

I’ve saved the large white Easter egg for Sunday and Monday, along with about 13 small white chocolate eggs. I’ve eaten most of the cookies. I aim to expand my Sunday meal tutu beyond holidays when financially more stable, possibly including salted meat and pickled pork tail. I found it too challenging to come up with a Easter brunch idea. I chose be too busy worrying, about more than just my food, unfortunately. Fortunately, I have some meat thawing in the fridge and might add a bacon slice to my sweet potato dish. Though I prefer spare ribs (as I had them during Xmas), ordering them might be too heavy on my stomach, as even a small portion comes in sizes ranging from 400-600 grams. While I crave more variety and fresh fruit, I aim to celebrate modestly tomorrow and the day after, gradually expanding my Easter meal tradition. Because I usually eat lightly on Mondays and Tuesdays, I eat heartily on Sundays. So, if I’m not full after Sunday’s meal, I’ll enjoy a bite of the large Easter egg and save the rest for Monday, alongside the 4 small cookies and 13 chocolate eggs, and sweet potato with a bacon slice and a little bit of mayonnaise!

First, I had trouble even eating. Then, I found it difficult to regurarly heat food for myself. After that, I found it hard to create childhood-friendly homemade dishes and make multiple course dishes, let alone setting the table. And look at me now, feeling ashamed of an imperfect Easter celebration. Maybe I need to add a note to my ‘healthy adult mode’ envelope with a encouraging message, to silence the toxic parent mode a little more, something like: “I’ve reflected and opted for portion control over excessive Easter food to compensate for less anticipation and preparation in the Easter celebration, which is what I tend to do.”
