Eating and Health
Fifteen-year-old
Peter tells us about his eating habits and how they affected his health.
I've always
been a very unhealthy eater, I'm sorry to say. When I was at primary school, I
refused to eat my vegetables. My mother says it was impossible to make me eat
anything I didn't like, so she gave me whatever I wanted, like chocolate and
cake. My favourite was jam sandwiches. I think this is where my problems began.
When I
first started secondary school three years ago, I didn't like the kind of food
that was served as main meals. Instead, I chose what seemed like tastier
snacks, which were not the healthiest options. Eating burgers and chips
regularly, it wasn't a surprise when I put on a lot more weight.
I had to
study really hard because I wanted to get good marks, so I stayed in with my
books after school every day and never got any exercise. I did extra lessons at
weekends and I didn't have time to think what I was eating. When my parents
were out working, they always left something healthy for my sister and me to
eat, but I just made jam sandwiches and drank lemonade. I continued to get fatter.
The person
who has helped me most is my big sister, Alice. She told me very clearly that I
had to change or I would have serious health problems soon. She showed me a
website with information about the damage that can be caused by eating the
wrong foods. I didn't like it, but she encouraged me to go on a strict diet,
with three meals a day and no snacks in between. I realised she was right.
Sometimes you only understand something when somebody else explains it to you.
Now I've
lost a lot of weight and I feel great, and everybody says I look healthier,
too. I eat salads and fruit and I take regular exercise. My marks are still
good, and I don't miss burgers or sweets. But sometimes, when Alice isn't
looking, I have a jam sandwich. I still love them!
