Ndakhala ndimakonda tchuthi chakumapeto kwa chaka: matalala, tchuthi, kucheza ndi mabanja, chakudya. Moona mtima, chakudya chamadzulo cha Thanksgiving chimayang'ana pafupifupi bokosi lililonse kwa ine. Nkhukundembo? Inde, mbatata yosenda? Mwamtheradi. Msuzi wa kiranberi? Mtheradi uyenera. O, ndi mkate wa mbatata? Inde, ndikhala ndi magawo asanu.
Ngati mukufuna kudzichitira nokha, maholide ndi nthawi yoti muchite, koma pamene ndikukula, ndikudziwa bwino za chizolowezichi. Ndimasowa nthawi yokhala mwana ndikutha kudya zomwe ndimafuna osanenepa. Tsopano, ndimamvabe zokwana mapaundi 15 kumapeto kwa nyengo ya tchuthi. Choncho ndinayamba kuchita manyazi ndi kudya kwambiri ndili patchuthi. Ndinganene kuti sindibweranso kwa masekondi angapo. Kapena ndikudumpha mchere. Kapena ndinadya zimene ndinkafuna kenako ndinadziimba mlandu kwambiri.
Vuto ndilakuti kumva choncho pazakudya sikosangalatsa. Ndakhala ndimadziimba mlandu ngati umenewu kwa zaka zambiri zauchikulire, koma zinthu zafika poipa kwambiri chaka chathachi. Ndinayamba kulemera pafupifupi mapaundi 20 panthaŵi imeneyi, zimene, nditapitirizabe kulemera mocheperapo kwa zaka ndi zaka, zinandipangitsa kumva kukhala wosamasuka. Ndinayamba kudziimba mlandu pa chilichonse chimene ndinadya, mpaka pamene ndinazindikira kuti mkhalidwe wamaganizo umenewu sunali wokhazikika ndipo sindinauyenere.
Kuphunzira kuvomereza thupi lanu sikungochitika mwadzidzidzi, koma kusintha kwakung'ono m'maganizo mwanga kwasintha kwambiri. Sindinganamizire kuti sindimadziimba mlandu pazakudya zomwe ndimadya nthawi zina, koma ndimayesetsa, nthawi zambiri, kuyika zakudya zomwe zili zabwino kwa ine m'thupi langa. Ndipo ndimayamikira zimenezo, chifukwa sikungakhale bwino kuti ndichite manyazi ndikudya zakudya zimene anthu ena amaziona kuti n’zongodyera basi. Ndiye sinditero.
Sindidzawonjezera ma kilogalamu 15 pamasiku ena opatsa mphamvu, ngakhale ndimamva ngati ndidachita kale.
Kwa ine, chakudya choperekedwa patchuthi ndi chakudya chabe. Ali ndi ma calories, chakudya, mafuta, mapuloteni, inde, shuga, monga zakudya zina. Zachidziwikire, zina mwazo ndizowonongeka, monga chitumbuwa chadzungu, koma osati ngati chitumbuwa chonsecho. Bwanji ngati ndili ndi masekondi kapena atatu? Ndi zabwino mwangwiro.

Chikhalidwe chomwe tikukhalamo chikhoza kuyesa kulamula zomwe mumadya, kapena kukuchititsani manyazi kuti mupite (kapena ayi), koma sinditero. Sangalalani ndi maholide, sangalalani ndi chakudya, ndipo musalole aliyense kuti akuuzeni momwe mungakondwerere.
