Personal Narrative: Rethink My Diet

Decent Essays
If I were to rethink my diet, I would be able to change a lot of eating choices. I would be able to eat more fruits and vegetables because I hardly eat any at all. I should eat less processed food and eating more food that I can cook myself that tastes better and is healthier. My parents buy unhealthy food, but if they would buy healthier food that tastes good, I would definitely have a better diet. In the fall and winter is when my diet is the healthiest because I hunt and kill my deer and eat that almost every day. Deer meet is very lean, there is very little fat. Deer meat tasted really good if you put a seasoning on it and cook it in a little bit of butter. If the grocery store sold deer meet, I think that more people would buy meet. Except

    I just ate my 490 calorie breakfast. I need to stop eating such a big breakfast every morning. I don't eat very big for dinner (if I can get away with it) or lunch. Breakfast is the only meal I look forward to; I crave sweet stuff when I wake up in the morning for some reason, so I eat like a fatass.…

    It is not Chipotle, but it will have to do. Everyone has had this thought at the end of the month when the money to spend on takeout has run out and now we are stuck settling with eating in the dining hall that we are forced to pay a ridiculous amount of money for. On the first tour of Baylor’s many dining halls they had put out the superior delicious food, I guess that must be kept in the back now. Back then it seemed as if there was an edible choice for anyone and everyone; including vegans, and the freshman fifteen seemed inevitable. Having been here now for almost a semester the façade of the likelihood of delicious vegan meals had faded long ago.…

    Two processed foods that I enjoy eating are doritos and cheese curls. I examined the labels and discovered that cheese curls contain two grams of sugar per serving and 290 milligrams of sodium per serving. Doritos contain one gram of sugar per serving and 180 milligrams of sodium per serving. Most of the ingredients in these snacks are artificial or chemical. I have never thought about what ingredients were in the snacks, or thought about looking at the labels before I eat the food.…

    My experiences volunteering for Food Recovery Network and the Knox Farm have been quite transformative. I never would have thought that I would have my quench for volunteering come from taking School and Society. Initially, I wasn’t completely sure about whether or not I would enjoy the experiences, but I ended up getting so much out of all the experiences. When it came to the first couple weeks volunteering for Food Recovery Network, I ended up falling in love with the concept of donating food that would have been wasted to the cafeteria to places that need help. I volunteered almost every monday and friday then an entire week.…

    The mud cumulates around my hands as I grab the ball to ship it out to my teammate. I throw it as best as I can through the torrential downpour, and immediately feel a shoulder crush my ribs, causing my head to fall and slam in the mud. My vision became blocked by mud and bodies, yet I still try to watch as the ball is flying from hands to hands. An open space is cleared only feet from the Try Zone. All of a sudden, the ball hits the ground and whistle blows; we just lost the national championship by one point.…

    I have learned a lot about nutrition so far over the course of this semester. This diet analysis project was probably the thing that I have least looked forward to having to complete. I know my diet is poor, I figured I ate too many bad foods, but I didn 't expect it to be lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in so many different areas. It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

    Earlier this year in January, I decided to start my weight loss journey. I managed to get rid of thirty-seven pounds throughout a period of six months. Along with a massive change of physical appearance, this journey also generated a lot of mixed responses from my family and friends.

This giant wave of fluctuating comments got me thinking: what is the difference between looking healthy and looking good?…

    Nutrition An unknown author once stated, “The greatest wealth is Health.” When coming into this class I didn’t know much about health and the importance of physical exercise. The influences I have when I make my personal food choices are eating what I want but counting calories to make sure I’m not over the daily calorie intake. I try to make wise food choices but sometimes I get distracted when my friends or boyfriend want to go out to eat and I end up falling into a whole menu full of fat foods.…
