I honestly thought that Winter break would be a great struggle in feeding myself, but I found that I can always rely on home to be fed. My family Christmas is not like a normal Christmas, we don't open presents until night, we don't have your usual feast of ham and potatoes, and only kids and elderly get presents.
Although I didn't receive many gifts, except a box of nutty buddy's and a fresca from my siblings which I oddly appreciated more than I usually would, Christmas was fantastic. My dad decided to splurge and bought king crab legs to the party, something my broke self hasn't eaten in years. My uncle's decided to make crawfish, my aunts brought cases of pop (which I snuck tons of in my backpack before leaving), she also brought oranges and lychees, my grandma made her famous coconut sticky rice, and my other grandma brought chicken wings and pad thai. I didn't care that my family was watching me in concern as my double chin was slathered in crab meat juice. I ate till I couldn't eat anymore, because I knew when I come back to Mankato I would never be able to have the same opportunity. My family currently do not know that I'm doing this challenge. They have no idea that I've been only spending $25 a week on groceries. Due to my weight gain, they think the opposite of me and that i've been spending and eating too much food. My problem, I think, is that I splurge when I have the chance. During my time at home, I tried to make sure that my family didn't see me pack away too much food.
