Where is your menu?


Ask anyone in the world what they thought of this countries obesity rate. I am almost positive that nine times out of ten they will say that it is killing us slowly and I agree. Our job for these last 5 days was to watch what we ate and keep record of it.  First of all, I’d like to state that I am surprised of the results that came about. I recently had something personal happen in my life and I entered in a state of trouble. I would not eat, sleep, and even drink anything but drinks from the machines at my job. It is very interesting how someone’s mood affects even your life necessity’s like eating and drinking. Everything was great when I found out what the third blog was going to be about. I even took a picture of something I ate right after class. It was a grilled chicken sandwich and I was quite excited to eat. Then the days became longer and more troubled. No real food was being consumed. Only some small snacks here and there but nothing that could fill the body of an average 19 year old.

After a couple of days passed, life started getting better and I started to eat and even sleep. My meals still we not enough to satisfy my needs. Then again now that I think about it, I never ate the same after I was told i had high cholesterol back when I was the 7th and 8th grade.

The things the Doctor would say would scare me so much that I never got close to a coke or a hamburger until the age of 18. These last few days I realized that I ate a lot morChick-Fil-A with a sweet tea. That is about the only thing that I can eat with a good stomach. Those usually where usually after work. On average I will spend 100 dollars on just food in a span of two weeks. Which is not bad considering I spend more money on myself.
e healthy now. I have come a long way since then. I don’t think I will ever go back to those days. I will not allow myself to do so. I rarely ate before work only because I have a weak stomach. I’ve been to many Doctor appointments and I haven’t found the cause for it. That is also a reason why I’ve lost so much weight. I usually ate flour tortillas with the restaurant sauce. Im not sure why but it taste so good and it prevented me from being hungry at the moment. I also would eat the spicy deluxe from
I should start to change my habits though. Stop eating flour tortilla and fried items. I know I will see a change in my appearance and maybe I can even see an improvement in my health. I will certainly be keeping up with my food log and seeing how my habits change over time.

  1. Obesity is a big problem in America and I agree that it is killing us slowly. Something needs to be done to stop it. I for one love chick-fil-a. When I don’t have time to go home or I must go straight to work it is my go to place for lunch.
