When Food Becomes A Problem

Be aware.

When Food Becomes A Problem
study abroad corner

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
