Personal Narrative: My Eating Patterns

My eating patterns are probably not the best. I don’t really eat breakfast. If I do it’s usually something light like a banana or a yogurt. I only started doing that about a year ago. Because I was told that you should eat during the first hour after you wake up. I eat a lot of salads. I try to have a salad at least once a day. I love vegetables. I do love fruit but, I don’t eat a lot of it as often as I should. In 2013, I was told I was pre-diabetic. So I made changes to my diet as I only eat turkey, chicken, or fish. I never liked fish, but when my doctor told me I needed to eat fish, I did. I rarely eat ground chuck. I occasionally have a burger or beef tacos to treat myself. I’m Italian, so pasta and bread was a big part of my diet. Now I eat gluten free or whole wheat
If I eat rice, I eat brown rice. I didn’t want to become a diabetic. My diet did a whole 360. My exercise routine consists of walking my dog Bella, using my treadmill at home, and going to the gym. My exercise fluctuates when I have the time. I’m usually good with keeping my routine, but as of lately I haven’t had the time. I became a foster relative of my niece and nephew. They are two and a half year old twins. They keep me pretty active. When I’m in school it is harder to stay with my exercise routine. I also have had a lot of medical issues lately. I have kidney stones again. So I will have to have surgery to have the stones removed. Because I can’t pass my kidney stones at all. When I got a CT scan for my kidneys they found something on my liver. The doctor also suggested that I get weight loss surgery. I have lots of health issues due to my weight. So I decided to have the weight loss surgery. I know that once I have the surgery. My body and organs won’t have so much stress on them. I weigh 305
