Bonding Time: Food Trips

They say, people who are in a relationship are more likely to gain weight than those who are single. I used to disagree with this idea until I met my special friend and started gaining weight intensely. For the past 25 months of being with him, I noticed the irregular eating patterns that we have. We are like all other couples who enjoy eating a lot. Every single day, we have heavy breakfast meals. Most of the time, he picks me up at home early in the morning and brings me to fast food chains. For lunch and dinner, we often cook meals together or go to restaurants. In between meals, we also enjoy having our meriendas. There are also times when we go out with our friends and dine in eat-all-you-can restos. With all these food trips, it is really hard to stop ourselves from gaining some pounds. No matter what I do, I just can’t say no to all these temptations. Most especially when he keeps on surprising me with chocolates and his own recipe meals! 
Like yesterday, we had again another fun-food-filled Wednesday! Before we watched the movie Arthur Christmas, we headed to Mandarin for our lunch. I really love the quail egg siomai and fried seafood rolls of this Chinese restaurant! That is why I always order for it every time we eat at the place. 
  
After having a wonderful lunch, we went to the cinema and then to Bake & Churn for the ice cream cakes! Who doesn’t love an ice cream especially when it’s baked?
Though this is out of the topic, I would like to thank my friend for choosing this great bag for me! It’s the perfect choice!

    Happy Thursday Brownies, Algene. Yay, nakiki-meme ka na din! Hehe 😀

    Uy, ako ay isang buhay na patotoo ng weight gain issue na yan in a relationship. Lol. 20 pounds ang na-gain ko in the first six months na nag-date kami ni Vince. So far, I need to lose about 5 pounds more para lang mabalik ko yung pre-relationship weight ko. Good luck na lang sa'kin dahil parang two years ko na pilit in-a-achieve yun. Hehe!

    Nweiz, bata ka pa naman, kaya least pa yun sa concern mo 😉 Importante, 'wag papabayaan ang sarili, habang nag-e-enjoy kayo ni Abdel sa company ng isa't isa 🙂

    More years of togetherness sa inyo ni Abdel! ♥

  6. aLgene says:

    @KM: Nakiki-meme na nga. I saw TB kasi on ate Gizelle's page. And since wala akong topic for tonight, sumali talaga ako.

    Nah! I gained over 20 pounds for the past 2 years of our rel ate KM. Need ko na talaga mag-trim down! I need it so bad. Baka magbago isip ni Abdel. LOL

    Oo ate. Hindi dapat pabayaan ang sarili. 😀

    Wow…hataw talaga si Algene! Date to the max! Sige lang try to enjoy life and everything that goes with it! Ika nga, live life to the fullest. But for me, advise ko sayo…watch out on your weight din kasi pag nag asawa ka na, mas tataba ka pa. Hahaha!!

  8. aLgene says:

    Hahaha! Tama ka ate Krizza! Yun din sabi ni ate KM oh! Wag pabayaan ang sarili 🙂 I know I should focus into getting my old body back. LOL I don't post pictures of myself na these days kasi nga I feel like I've gained so much weight. 😛 Sana magamit ko na mini-gym namin sa house. Medyo busy lang talaga for now 🙂
