I am a person who enjoys feeling healthy and wants to continue feeling healthy. Food
overall, has always been something I really haven't been interested in. I always had in my head
that food is just something I need for my body to maintain itself to function on a day to day

bases. I admire people who enjoy the taste of food and eat it because they simply taste all these
rich flavors in the foods we have all around us. For me, I don't see food that way and it does
make me sad at times but for most part, I am fairly thankful for it as well.
After keeping track of my calories this week, I do want to change my eating patterns and
star caring for myself and those who I love and be considerate in what I eat. I shouldn't worry
about how I look and start enjoying food more. Who knows, maybe by changing my eating
habits as well, not only will it make me a healthier person mentally but I do believe that it will
help me financially too because restaurants and other places make you spend a lot of money. I
want to start making food at home for me and my boyfriend and encourage others to do so as

My third and final goal is to break the rules of eating healthy for once, I should replace things
My ‘menu’ for a day would be having cereal in the morning with almond milk and a
glass of water, for lunch eat a huge source of salad with little dressing and have lemonade, and
for dinner eat something like soup or spaghetti. Also remembering to balance the amount of
All in all, I was very surprised but the amount of calories that my body was taking in. At
first I couldn't believe that calories add up fairly quickly, and how surprising it was to see that at
times little snack have so many calories! I noticed that there are days where I eat more then other
days, and that was also very surprising for me. With all honesty I didn't bother looking at calories
before because I didn't see the importance of it. Now, I see great importance in keeping track of
