When Food Becomes A Problem

Be aware.

When Food Becomes A Problem

Food is one of the requirements of life.

You need your nutrients to grow, function, and go about your day, but at what point does it become overwhelmingly out of control. I absolutely LOVE food, and I mean LOVE LOVE it. Though sometimes it worries me how much I actually am in Love with food. I am totally the type of girl who eats her feeling. A guy rejects me, let me turn to a jar of Nutella.

I'm cramming for an exam, let me het a dozen of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, I'm so bored let me run over to Chik fil A. Food is always my solution, this NEEDS to stop. I complain so much about how the Freshman 15 ruined me, and the Sophomore 30 was the death of me. Now in my new lifestyle of eating better, yes lifestyle diets are temporary, lifestyles are more permanent.

I'm not overweight or anything like that, but I'm not the weight I should be for someone 5 foot 4inches. I'm supposed to weigh in about 125, and I am 148. I lost 10 pounds over the summer Praise Jesus and have 20 more till I am satisfied. What I noticed is I can't continue to eat how I did in High school. My metabolism is not as fast, I have less time to work out from when I was younger, and I seem to Love food too, much.

Everyone deserves to pig out once in a while, but when your emotions get too attached, then that's when you have a problem. Eating horribly can cause issues like diabetes, High blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular issues, and even more. I love myself to much to put myself through that. Everything should be done in moderation. Ever since I got an app on my phone I actually see how much I consume for the day and how many calories. This helps me be aware, and on top of myself. So now it's my job, to be smarter. No more eating a jar of Nutella a day just with a spoon, that is long gone.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
