Personal Narrative: My Weight Loss Journey
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.

    Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…

    “WHOA WHOA WHOA THIS IS BALONEY MAN!” that is something I say whenever I am frustrated. People have always told me sometimes the best way to learn something is through failure. People value things they have accomplished differently. Often the people whom are naturally adept at things do not realize how much of a struggle it can be for others. Many times when people have told me that if you are going to fall, fall forward. Do not let your insecurities, doubts, and pride get in the way of improving yourself. In brief, there can always be a way to improve yourself.…

    With ever story of victory, comes a drowning idea of failure. Throughout our live, these battles are fought, taking not only mental strength, but physical as well. Some of these battles are chosen, while the rest flank from behind. With this in mind, a story of victory must be told, on behalf of my Aunt, Joenell. Her battle took place in April, of 2009, she went to the Suttee Delta hospital, in Antioch California for a doctor’s visit, for fear that something was wrong, during this visit she informed her doctor that she felt a not on her left breast. Soon after, she had a mammogram, and an ultrasound done, revealing three cancerous lumps. As the doctor went into detail, she started to realize the gravity of the situation. For the first time; at the age of 59, she was confronted with the most life threating event she had ever faced. So for a second opinion, she went to the Epic Cancer center, also in Antioch California. Certainly, the last thing anyone would like to hear during a doctor’s visit, she knew there would be some decisions to be made, time to study up.…

    My current diet is a complete disaster. Because of my work schedule, I don’t get up until around 11:00am, so when I do wake I have a cup or two of orange juice which is what I consider to be my breakfast. On the way to work, I grab a hamburger and soft drink. Also, I sometimes skip the soft drink and get a Monster energy drink if I am still tired from the night before. I have to put Devion on the bus in the morning which leaves me very sleepy most days, so I use this as an excuse to grab the energy drinks to make it through each day. My day at work is really boring, so, my co-worker and I sit and eat to actually entertain ourselves throughout the day. One of my major obstacles will be to ignore her when she offers me some foods or snacks because she really likes to eat several different snacks throughout the day. She really gets offended if someone turns down her offer for a snack, but, I would really like to lose some of this weight.…

    My family is overall extremely healthy so that helps. I do exercise but I feel that I should exercise more. I exercise approximately 2 or 3 times a week and try to go the gym for a couple hours a week. I don't eat the healthiest at college and the last couple of days I have been craving junk. Typically I try to eat veggies but all the veggies are gross in the cafeteria. I eat lots of grapes. I have hard time getting up in the mornings because I stay up late studying so I don't think I get enough sleep but throughout the day I don't feel that tired.…

    In Defense of Food was quite shocking at first. In all honesty, it made me think I was going to die within the next week due to a heart attack triggered by all the junk I eat. Considering I myself indulge in processed cookies from the aisles of Stop and Shop, and steak tips that have been marinating in salt for two days, the film hit close to home. But in all honesty, I don’t eat that bad; in comparison to the Seventh-Day Adventists I do, but I think I’m doing alright.…

    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.…

    I used to believe that the world was a dark place. First, my mom and dad had a huge fight on a Sunday morning before volleyball. Let’s just say: the cops were called and I didn’t see my mom for about a week. In time, when my parents made up, things were good for a little while. Little did I know, I was becoming sick. On January 30, 2013, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Again, the world became dark and the world kept dealing me some pretty bad cards. Hypothyroid, Celiac’s disease, bullies, etc. I thought that my entire life would be this terrible. I started to give up. I didn’t try in school, I didn’t even want to play volleyball anymore. My life was taking a turn for the…

    One might ask why at 15 years of age, I started working a part-time job at 30-hours a week and still maintained a grade-point average of 3.8 in school. Some might call me crazy, but I think of it more as being a responsible, dedicated, determined young woman with strong work ethics. These are some of the values instilled in me, not only by my parents, but also by an experience that changed my life.…

    My life turned around, I thought I was going to suck at diabetes and die or somehow end up without a limb. It then taught me to thrive and bounce back because of the challenges it brought. I know it was appropriate because I stayed calm the whole time just for my mom and I wouldn’t have changed it cause I didn’t care how scared I was, I remained calm for my mom because she thought I was in so much pain. Honestly, now I go throughout my days like a normal kid and now I can manage my disease by myself but it just taught me that anything is possible but I go to learn how to adapt and thrive in new conditions. I believe it connects to the be ready for anything and be ready to adapt and thrive theme because I had no idea what was diabetes but…

My story is a common one that countless people have faced that got in the form of disguise that isn’t always pretty.
