But I can't blame my parents they didn't know too much about nutrition, apart from giving me nice home cooked meals for dinner, they thought they were doing their part. Luckily for me I was always very good at sports, which eventually lead me to become a personal trainer, I wish my parents had the information I know now, it would of made a huge difference in my performance at School. You should be thankful for having such healthy parents, our society needs more parents like yours.

These days, my mom, who is almost 70, stocks up on snacks and other foods with empty calories at home. I guess she is trying to catch up with what we missed out on previously.

She got up at 5am to cook lunch before leaving to work at 6.45am. Both my parents were away working so I ate LOTS of junk food, drank carbonated drinks, sweets which was readily available at 2 provision shops just within walking distance- all behind my parents' back. Then when I went to study in Penang, I 'let it all go' and ate whatever I like in the food paradise. Gosh, how I paid heavily for my health. Suffered from constant tiredness and sugar addiction- and only intensive 'exercise therapy' is now curing it. Guess it's a blessing in disguise - else, I would never start my blog and help others :) Yeah, when I was young, my mom made sure we eat healthy meals.

The 'worst' junkies she allow us (with her permission) were only a certain amount of biscuits, cookies, cakes, chocolates or candies (mostly mint candies only). Very rarely or maybe on special occasion we got to to eat fast food or ice-cream. But on the other hand, my dad loves to spoil us with junkies and fast food! I remember my dad used to get me ice-creams or any junk food I want, whenever he fetches me home from school. That's whe reason why I always looked forward to him fetching me. As kids, my brother and me sometimes will buy junk food from school canteen secretly. The worst case I rememeber was we both got canned badly when our mom discovered a toy we played was actually a free gift from the junk food we bought!! (she saw it in the TV advertisement!) Like you said we have all the freedom to eat whatever we want during our college and University days. Nobody can stop us. That was blissful! :-) But later in life as working adult I realized I need to look good and signed up for gym. From then on I'd discovered the importance of healthy eating and exercising regularly. I started to read many fitness and health books/magazines too. Slowly I changed my eating habits and lifestyle and it does help a great deal! Nowadays if I miss gym for more than 3-4 days I feel uneasy. If I ate a piece of cream cake, fried chicken or any junkies I feel bad and try to compensate by workout more. Or course once in awhile I do indulge my temptation but never over do. Unfortunately I still can't change my sleeping habit till today!
