People who know me well enough knows that when I’m agitated, stressed, frustrated or miserable, feed me food and I’ll be perfectly alright after that. I never realised this until earlier this year when I was doing my training under Alvin Leong, we have to get up as early as 5.00am sometimes for wedding shoots.
On one occasion, we got back from the shoot, and I started working on a wedding album but whatever I do, I cannot achieve the result I want - it was more than frustrating. I believe that a wedding album should tell a story and have a flow - just like a movie. And it has to be spectacular and I was not even near that. That got me very frustrated and stressed, and with the lack of sleep, I was totally flat out.
And toady a.k.a. Ah Soon dragged me across the road for some coffee and toast, even though I didn’t want to go. And I felt fine after that and was smiling and everything was good.
Last Friday, I met up with a friend and it wasn’t a pleasant day I must say. I had one huge piece of mare pizza (octopus, prawns and mussels YUM!), went for a Hoegaarden at Belgian Bar and was satisfied. But we had 30 minutes to kill before heading home, and since I still have some space in my stomach, we went for chocolate - walnut chocolate cake is super yum! :D I was a happy champ at the end of the day.
But from a health perspective, I do not encourage such behaviour of binging because it’s bad for health and also if practised too often, it becomes a coping strategy and can develop into an eating disorder. To find out more about Binge Eating Disorder, read this factsheet - Binge Eating Disorder.
p/s: Hoegaarden is my favourite beer at the moment after Pale Ale. It’s sweeter than your conventional beers, and so much smoother, so much creamier (?) and so much nicer.
