Woman, Thy Name is Paradox

27 03 2007

Call it self delusion, call it guilt. Or maybe it is just the paradoxical nature of women?

Saw these two women this afternoon having vegetable salad and orange juice for lunch. But what seemed like an extremely healthy meal turned out otherwise when I saw this HUGE place of FRIED CHICKEN WINGS! There was at least 8-10 wings on that plate I swear!

Did they really think that they can make up for the negative effects of the chicken wings just by having salad and juice? Or were they simply bluffing themselves to make them feel better?

its about striking a balance for us ladies, Matt. heheheh….am sure you’re used to such phenomenon. :) In fact, that 2 ladies covered all the necessary nutrients/proteins/carbo required…less the fried part which is of cos not good for the skin and waistline …but oh well, we should all cut ourselves some slack and savor tasty food now and then. Life is short.

Now, thats how women think.

maybe they just have craving for chicken wings today? And becos too oily, they decide to down it with fresh salad & orange juice?

Sometimes, women’s intentions are very simple..

Maybe that’s their idea of a balanced diet! Must have fruit and veggie as part of the diet!!

Haha… Looks like I got all the women talking! Especially rare ones like raine and delphine (who for once wrote something relevant).

Raine: now if life is short, then forget the diet… Just eat!

Klessis: Craving -> chicken wings -> too oily -> (scared of fats, carbo, calories etc etc) -> balance with salad and juice… SIMPLE?!
This is what simple would be like: Craving -> chicken wings -> eat!
And all the men say… ?

Delphine: I do not deny it looks like an obvious attempt at balance, but that’s essentially the issue (if there is even one) here! Doing things from both extremes at the same time just doesn’t feel right… It’s like praying for forgiveness while you’re sinning?

Hmm… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the meal choices. it’s quite a good balance.

Haha… I agree with all the ladies here…

And what’s wrong with having chicken wings as a meal choice? I don’t see anything wrong with that. Yum! yum!

And maybe the 2 ladies are not dieting in the first place… Prob they just love salad, orange juice and chicken wings!!! It’s the men’s perception of associating orange juice and salad to dieting or assumption that they are opting for healthy food with those choices.
