Perspective Of A Foodie Mother: To Eat Or Not To Eat!

Everyday is a Mother’s day.

Perspective of a foodie mother :Eat or  not to Eat!

At one point or the other, all mothers do come across situations when they have to multi task or switch over to various roles , yet camouflage all this under a smile. A mothers designation is far beyond a ‘home maker’ and should be called a ‘fighter’ as she is loaded with challenging responsibilities. A mother is a mom ,a wife, a daughter,a daughter-in-law ,a sister, a nurse, honorary domestic help(to help herself),a warm host, a driver, a nurse ,a cleaner and above all a “Professional”. The list goes on and I m sure this is the malady of every mother.

In the capacity of a  Foodie-Mom, I am perplexed by the fact –eat or not to eat. When mothers feed babies, they usually end up popping in a morsel  or a two in their mouth and sometimes even wiping out the plate. While clearing the table after meals ,in a spree to not shove  anything into the refrigerator  and moreover not to waste and spoil food ,she eats the substantial leftovers , which just LOAD her with extra calories. On the contrary, there are times wherein she parts with her share of food because it is the requirement of one of the family members and hence compromises with a slice of bread and jam/butter/ cheese or  even pickle or extra dessert just an addition again into her calorie pool .And at times , when you pack your favourite chicken biryani to work(much enjoyed by your friends),the nocturnal members of your family wipe it out to your surprise and  leave you  scratching your head and pondering –what next? . One can quote number of instances to support this “unnoticed trivial sacrifices”( although sacrifice is a misnomer in this context).

Salute to all the” Moms “ who load themselves with extra pounds, knowing that it is the most difficult task to shed the same. They definitely deserve a “pat on the back” everyday, for the smile which masks the unnoticed sacrifices.

Moms are angels with a magic wand and they just know how to fix all the problems. Don’t they deserve all the love and appreciation?
