This week was not a good week, but also not a bad week. There were some days were I would eat any food no matter that calories in it, but other days I wouldn’t eat any junk food. This is something that I know is going to be very hard to maintain throughout the remainder of this summer, and hopefully the remainder of the year.
Something that I want to try with achieving this goal is that I will eat no snacks after dinner. I want to make it so that I will have my dinner and have nothing, including healthy snacks. I will obviously drink water and gatorades to stay hydrated and healthy. I think that the time when I eat the most unhealthy is when I am about to go to sleep and bored so I decide to eat junk food. I am hoping that next week I can make sure that I am eating healthier and not eating unhealthy when I get home from lacrosse or the gym. I think that the first week of doing this was easier than this week, but I am going to keep working on my goals to make sure that I achieve them.
A second thing that I really wanna try is not eating anything except for healthy foods after lacrosse. I know that I will be hungry after a lot of expertise, but I can do something like eat a salad or an apple. I don’t want to come home and go to a fast food place on the way home. I also want to continue this during the school year and not go right to the dining hall for unhealthy food, I could have healthy foods in my dorm room instead.
One thing that I learned in chapter four was basically loving yourself within an intimate relationship. I truly think that if you do not love yourself you have no ability to love someone else. This relates to eating healthy because if I am not eating healthy I am not going to love my body, and I am going to worry about myself way too much and could not focus on anyone else.
Another thing that I learned from chapter four was all about healthy relationships. This is very important clearly because if you don’t have one then no one could have a relationship. You need to respect each other and you need to be there for each other at all times of the relationship, especially when the other person is down. This also relates to my goal because I simply need someone there to encourage me when I am down on my goals. It doesn’t have to be a relationship as in a girlfriend, it could be a relationship as a friendship. Just having someone there for you is so helpful when it comes to chasing your goals.
The final thing that I learned in chapter 4 was about prolonged problems in relationships. This means that people are struggling with their relationship and eventually they will break up if these problems can never be solved. I believe that there is a similarity to my goals with this, if I am having prolonged problems and also don’t have someone to support me I feel like it would be very hard and I would most likely give up on my goals.
The next two chapters can’t really relate with my goals, but chapter 5 had to do with things about how a woman’s body changes when they are pregnant. It also talked about what woman need to eat to stay healthy and make sure that they have a healthy pregnancy. The final thing that stood out to me was when it talks about complications with pregnancy, this is something that sticks out to me because it is truly scary thinking about all of the complications that can happen.
Chapter 6 was something that talked a lot about addiction. One thing that it spoke about that I mentioned earlier was also on support. It was saying that someone with an addiction will not be able to stop their addiction without support. I truly believe that this is a statement that is very true, without someone there to help you then you will not be able to get rid of that addiction. Chapter 6 also brought up the different ways that an addiction can hurt a family and how it can separate them. Individuals have to watch their family members suffer and it is very hard on them that sometimes they will even supply drugs. It then speaks about the drugs that students use in campuses and how harmful that they can be for everyone on the campus.
