So I'm sixteen. The age may seem old to me right now, but I'm aware of the fact that I have a long life to live ahead of me. At sixteen, things like fitness and eating right are laughable. Why munch on carrot sticks or do some cardio when there are parties to attend, fast food places to visit, and the internet to surf? That last sentence pretty much describes me from....well, up until now. I've been acting carelessly with how I behave and I'm only now coming to realize that my health isn't exactly the best.
I'm not saying that I have an illness or something - in fact, on the outside, I look perfectly fine. But on the inside, I don't feel fine. I feel self-conscious about the way I look and I can almost feel the vat of unhealthy and excessive snacks growing within my stomach. Another thing to point out is that all this extra food I'm putting into my body isn't even visible from the outside. I'm actually of average build, not over- or underweight. It may be weird for me to feel insecure about my body when it looks somewhat okay, but I am becoming more and more aware that I am not living healthily. I snack way too much, I sit around and do nothing...the list goes on and on. I'm making this blog post to clear my head about this a little bit because it's something that has really been bothering me these past few weeks. I don't want to become super unhealthy or get diagnosed with something like diabetes, which I am at risk to get because it runs in my family. The question I'm asking myself is if I don't want those health risk, than why do I behave the way I do?
This is the start of a new beginning. I'm going to be more conscious about things like this, because I'm sick of being unhealthy and really want to improve my wellbeing. Like I said, I have a long life to live ahead of me, and I don't want it cut short because I get so many Oreos that I explode or something. I want to be the best me I can be, and that starts with me treating my body the way it deserves to be treated.
