It’s not like we do all those ancestral rituals or have a large family. We have a somewhat large family, but with less than ten members, which could be a joke compared to families of more than ten, twenty members or even more.
One point five bowls of rice a day. One meal of only fruit. A light dinner with some fish or meat. These simple eating routines change dramatically during the holidays. Constantly eating, with more meat, more sweet foods, and more greasy dishes.
My efforts to eat moderately are never enough. I feel tired while preparing all those dishes with my family, and then I feel tired again while digesting all the food that I have eaten.
I’m not the one who faces the heavy workload, but my stomach is.
My efforts to free my stomach from the holiday after-effect caused by heavy eating are not enough and have never been enough. Make it happen, next time. Keep going.
