Healthy vs Unhealthy

Have you ever tried to do an extreme diet? It looks and seems like the most difficult challenge in the whole world, right? I thought that to until I accomplished one. I went from eating large amounts of fast food, sweet and sugary junk food and the unhealthiest of the unhealthy, all in a day’s work. I went from having no limits, no moderation and no cares at all to having self-control and a healthy diet. I went from all that to eating only vegetables, fruits, nuts, grilled chicken, fish and water. Never junk food, never sweets and never too much of anything. Along with that were huge amounts of exercise, weight loss and a boosted confidence. I thought it was going to be so terrible, such an impossible task, but it wasn’t. It was the best thing ive ever done for myself. I remember thinking about how much I was going to miss the old food and hate the new. After a little while I began to love the healthy life style and had no interest in junk food. I began to crave apples and natural peanut butter instead of chips. I remember feeling so more awake and happy every day. Never in my life would I ever of thought it would have been thanks to a good, clean diet. Thinking about it now is still kind of mind boggling. Many people would ask me how I did it, ask me for help and after I told them it was simply a good diet and exercise they were intrigued. I believe that if people could really see just how simple it really is to give up bad food for good then our country would be so much more healthy and happy. A huge part of this is also about what you’re surrounded with. If you are surrounded by a bunch of junk food, then you’re going to eat a bunch of junk food. If you’re surrounded by a bunch of healthy food, then that’s what your options are, and that is what will help you. School is a large part of this for many students and I believe that if the school would follow this and keep more healthy options compared to un healthy, Our students would learn to love vegetables and fruits and would grow up to be a healthy and fit.   -Kalianna F
