Can my new movement OFF survive?


I normally do not eat much and I’m neither on the fat nor big side. Usually, anytime I’m hungry on my home from work, I would buy coconut chips (my fav) and a drink or yoghurt.  So on getting home, I would feel full and combined with fatigue, I would just go straight to bed without taking any dinner. My sister would complain that if I wasn’t careful and continued that way, I would disappear someday.

Well, at the commencement of the strike, I told myself that my eating habit would change for the better. But the story did not change....
My wake up time during the strike was usually between 8.30-9am and after personal work, breakfast would fall around 11am or sometimes 12pm.
Logically, lunch was around 5pm and when I eat around that time, dinner would either be something very light as Weetabix and milk or tea.  
My cousin noticed this and texted my bestie.
My bestie who had observed this for some months now, called me immediately and reprimanded me.  

Well, truth is I’m not a food person. I eat in bits, and I have a sweet tooth.
After the scolding, I told myself that I would make conscious efforts to eat and maybe I could add a little weight in form of adipose in the right places.
All this happened on Saturday.
So I told myself, as from now on it’s OFF (Operation Feed Fredilia)!       

This morning, I went to the kitchen oozing positivity but as I struck the match and turned on the gas, I realized that the gas had lasted for a long time; and as I commented ‘this gas has last...’ and the gas finished.
Ahhh!!! Stove! Nooooo!!!
Strike, an obstacle to refilling our gas cylinder...
Electric cooker, a cool back up, PHCN please...

Gazing lovingly at the mental X-ray of this beautiful baby bump; I remember I was told, when he was 6weeks old, that I had an empty sack and...
