I should not be upset with this "Mixed Rice" seller, instead I should pity him for not giving his regular customers the kind of service that he should.
You see, I went to his stall, wanting to buy a packet of rice with some dishes very quickly as it was getting late. Normally, people who patronise this type of food stall are those who could not find time to cook or who could not cook at all, to have a quick meal or something. To my disappointment, he did not have any more rice to sell to me but surprisingly there were still a lot of dishes (vegetables, meat, eggs, seafood, etc.) left. And so I bought some food with the intention of cooking my own rice to go with them.
As soon as I paid, two customers came and surprisingly, he produced two plates of white rice from his rice container, for them! I did not intend to confront him but told myself instead that I cannot allow him to spoil my dinner via his actions. I will enjoy my 'home cooked' dinner and you know what, I did!

Attempting to lose weight
My daughter has been trying hard to lose weight but has not been very successful. She loves food, especially fast food. The more she tried to lose weight, the more she ate. I too tried to help her by introducing 'good food' and encourage exercising, as part of her 'weight loss' programme. As you may already know, good food does not alway taste good. But after many many days of sweat, tears and torture, it didn't work! She gave up.
I feel a lot more effort should be put into this if she is determined to lose some weight, as the saying goes "No Pain No Gain". She feels being deprived of a lot of her favourite food, pressurised to achieve her ideal weight and worse of all, she couldn't endure the pain as a result of, exercising!
Well, it all comes down to her will power. Mentally, she is not prepared and lip service will continue until such time she is ready to do it. She can if she has the determination and when she does, she WILL succeed! I wish her all the best, won't you?
