The Importance of Healthy Eating Habits

Once, there was a girl who used to be chubby all her life. Then, the summer before high school came and she decided that it was high time for her to become thinner. Even if none of her schoolmates bullied her due to her excessive weight because made up for it through her cute face, she didn\’t want to stay the way she was. She wanted something more out of her physical appearance; she wanted to know what it felt like to be beautiful. So after their elementary graduation, she didn\’t bother to show herself to anyone to concentrate on her goal. Then when the first day of the new school year arrived, she was as slender as a ramp model and everyone was in awe of her new physique. The girl was really happy about this. At last, cheeks didn\’t have to hurt from the constant pinching. It was, however, her stomach, that ached really badly for all the things it was used to which are now deprived from it.

What the girl told everyone was that started exercising regularly. What she wrote her diary, on the other hand, was that she now only drank water whenever she was hungry, and that would only eat as much as three biscuits when she felt like she couldn\’t handle the food shortage anymore. She was starving herself. True enough, her old friends missed her during break times such as recess and lunch. She now chose to spend these periods at the library. The reason she would tell them was that she was still full from the heavy breakfast. Conversely, what they didn\’t know was that she was just avoiding having to see them munch on her favorite things because she might cry from all the deprivation she\’s been doing to herself. This went on for a long, long time. Then one day, while playing volleyball for their Physical Education class, she fainted in the middle of the game and was brought to the clinic. When woke up from the collapse, she didn\’t know where she was. Soon, the school nurse came in and started asking her some questions. That\’s when finally admitted that she didn\’t have healthy eating habits. She told the nurse what was once only confided in to the pages of her diary and she received a lot of scolding from the former. She didn\’t go to school for about a week after the incident. Then when she was allowed to attend her classes once again, she no longer looked pale and malnourished. She even had a new glow about her.

The girl gained a portion of the weight lost back, but it didn\’t bother her anymore. She now knew that while being thin amounted to being beautiful in the eyes of many, it was how she felt inside that mattered most. Instead of the water diet religiously stuck to before, she now ate a balanced meal thrice a day and routinely exercised, which resulted to her looking even better than the first day of high school.
