Personal Narrative: A Very Unhealthy Life
Before I was saved, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Being the youngest in my family, I was constantly spoiled and protected. This led me to become a very prideful and ignorant child. I thought the world was great, my life was great, and I was great. Now I am not saying any of those things are not true, but my views changed quite a bit once I hit middle school. My sister had moved onto college at this point and I was alone to tackle middle school. I discovered a lot during those years but my biggest discovery was probably about my family. I learned that they weren’t the perfect figures I thought they were. My parents fought constantly and that left me devastated. On top of being spoiled and arrogant, I was also depressed.
I became saved

    I realized that I wasn't content with how I was living or how I was not pleasing to God's will and his purpose for my life. At times, I would get discouraged, stressed, worried or felt like I was not good enough for God. As I begun reading Romans 12:2 over and over again, it reminded me that God loves me, and wants me to be the best I can be, because I was created in his image.…

    My emotional wellness has come so far for my goals. I have learned to accept myself for my body and my mind. On Halloween, I wore my Wonder Woman costume without a second thought. Every day I dress up for myself and no longer care about the opinion of others when I look in my closet. My value always counted on my grades and test scores since elementary school. These days I still value my grades, but do not value my personal worth solely on them.…

    I believe my diet is nutritionally adequate. I prepare fresh and healthier food at home and pack snacks from home too. Beside healthier food choice, packing snacks from home is inexpensive and save my time from traveling to any convenience store or fast food restaurants. I stay away from processed, frozen, and prepackaged foods. I make everything fresh and not frozen, but I travel two to three times to the store per week to buy fresh vegetables, fruits and other necessary stuffs.…

    After years of hard work and prerequisite classes, I finally received my acceptance into school. Nursing was finally within my grasps, but it felt like something was missing. After talking to friends and family, I was still in what felt like a liminal phase until I got an email. It plainly read, “Congrats on your acceptance, we knew you could do it! Let us know if we can help. Sincerely, Katie from G.B.” As succinct as the email was, I was reminded of my time in the Global Brigades. It was with that amazing group that I helped villages across Panama receive basic healthcare and other vital services. Furthermore, it reminded me of my experience tutoring and volunteering throughout my life. These experiences working with underserved communities…

    A difficult situation that I have had to endure through was entering into treatment for an Eating Disorder. Although I have no regrets of entering treatment, the greatest challenge that I had to face was realizing that the rigid and pessimistic mindset that I possessed was slowly killing me and that the only way I could learn to let go was by accepting treatment with open arms. Prior to accepting help, I was physically and emotionally extremely weak and depressed. However, all of that self-imposed negativity was so much ingrained into my daily life that I had no idea how great an extent it was ruining my life. The lack of nutrition that I had in my body transformed me into a completely different person, a person that I do not even seem to recognize…

    I want to start my weight loss journey but it does not feel like enough time in the day. Most of the time, I am stuck doing homework all day when I am not in class. I told myself that I was going to start a healthy diet and try going to the gym for at least thirty minutes every day. I know if I did, I would feel better and have more energy, but I feel like I always have something else to do that hinders me from going too the gym. There a lot of temptations when it comes to trying to eat healthily. Starbucks is one of my favorite places to go on campus and it is not good for me at all. I think the only way that my diet will work is if I go grocery shopping for healthy items and only eat from my dorm, versus eating fast food every day.…

    Few months ago, I got caught up in an unhealthy lifestyle brought about by too much work. As a result, I gained weight. I set the panic button at 165 pounds--that is when my weight leaves the healthy BMI recommendation for my height—and weeks ago, the scale wailed its alarm. I went back to exercising but fell short on tackling my bad eating habits. That was when I decided to do a detox, reset my diet and go back to a healthy routine. Last year, I did Dr. Oz’s 3-Day Detox Cleanse. This time, I opted to try something else—The Master Cleanse.…
