Happiness starts with healthy, yammy food! :)

We, people, are not always happy. As we grow older, we have more things to deals with and we realise there are so many things that are beyond our control. . .

One of the things that we cannot control is how people feel. I was recently broken up by my boyfriend. He does not feel the same way as he used to any more. We shared a lot of memories together. He was the one who always stood beside me when I needed warmth. Being in a foreign country, going through difficult times, he was always there for me and he was my battery who gave me power to be positive whatever happened. On the Valentine’s Day, he woke me up with a bunch of flowers with a card saying “Here is the token of our love, let’s have a wonderful day and many more...”. I felt like I was the happiest woman in the world… After 5 weeks from that day, his feelings for me no longer existed. It was so easy. He just disappeared from my life, having left me the words “We should move on, once and for all…”

Another thing that is beyond our control is……the NEED to be FED! Despite I was depressed about the break up and had no appetite for a long time, I had to eat something to live my life. I have my family back in Japan, I have to do what I have to do here in London... I have reasons to be in London … I have friends who love me here and back in Japan. We cannot control the fact that we need to eat but we can indeed control WHAT we eat. Same for the relationships. Your partner’s feeling is beyond your control but you can control WHAT you want to be. I chose to be healthy, happy, and successful!

For me, cooking used to be something mostly for those I cared about. I cooked for my boyfriend very often so even cooking made me sad after the breakup. I am now on my own. I should love myself and I do now. I need to supply battery by myself. So I started this blog to remind myself of the necessity of eating healthy food and take a good care of myself. So there won’ t be many impressive recipes but there will be easy-to-make healthy recipes for one potion (sometimes two potions for a friend or to save for next day) for busy people.
