The one thing that I would change about myself is my weight. After having three kids I have become obese from not eating healthy and not taking care of myself. When I was in high school I was much smaller than I am now , but 15 years later I have now put on about 140 pounds. This has effected my every day life in so many negative ways. The first reason that I want to lose weight is for my health. The second reason I want to lose weight is for my self-esteem and self-confidence. Lastly, I want to lose weight for my children. The first reason I would change my weight is because it has a very big effect on my health. I have been diagnosed by my doctor as being very obese. Being obese can effect your health in many ways and my health has been effected by this a lot. This limits me to being able to do certain things. By being overweight it has effected my asthma tremendously and has limited me to being able to do things that I enjoy doing.

  • Diet Analysis: Three Day Diet

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    One way that I can modify my diet is by adding more nutrient rich foods. Cut out junk foods including chips, candy, cookies, cakes and other unhealthy snacks. I can also instead of going too fast food restaurants make a salad, or make healthy lean cuisine dinners that contain all of the food groups. Eating fruits can also be a way to ensure I am getting the nutrients that I need. I could fix a cup of my favorite fruits which is pineapples and strawberries, I should also make sure that the fruits are fresh and do not have any added sugars or preservatives. It would also be helpful if I slowly take the unhealthy foods out of my diet and replace them with the nutrient- rich foods, because I feel if I just completely change my diet from what I am used to I will be harder to do. I also need to add vegetables to my diet because I rarely eat vegetables. Ways that I can add vegetables to my diet is by steaming them, grilling them or baking them. Or when I go to restaurants instead of getting my usual French fries with my meal I could instead get a side of broccoli, corn or steamed vegetables. These are some ways that I will be able to switch out the unhealthy foods and add more nutrients rich foods that will help me to develop a healthier
