Personal Narrative: Get Rid Of Nutritional Value

In chapter three it explains why your thought make you feel depress. “Every bad feeling you have is the result of your distorted negative thinking” (Burns, 1980, p. 28). It is feeling of beeng trap in negativity and emptyness. As I have mentioned in the past, I work at the Dollar General as a cashier. Lately, they ask me if I wanted to become a lead, I was surprise that they choose me, because I fell that I am not good for that position. The reason I mentioned this situation again is because as I was reading this chapter, I notice that all the “definition of cognitive distortion” applied to this circumstances:

Overall, I just want to be contented with my life in the future and not realize that I am miserable and that I have wasted my life. In the near future, I also aspire to do well in all four years of high school. This also applies to college. Another goal for the future that I have is to get a scholarship for college because of the fact that I want to go to college, but I don't want to drown in college debt.

It’s so hard to choose just three people to have dinner with from anybody in the world. Do I choose past family member, famous people or dead people? Do I choose historic people or rich people so they pay for the dinner? There are so many scientists, athletes, politicians, president and artist who have changed our world for better or worse. So many people I like from singers to actors from presidents to family members. If I really had to choose just three people I would choose Gordon Ramsay, Marilyn Monroe, and Walt Disney.

For a one hundred and eighty pound guy like myself, there are several paths I could take that would lead me, nutritionally, to a healthy lifestyle. The most appealing to me have been the more meat based diets. These include a good deal of steak, chicken, and other meats that would help give me protein throughout the day.

When I started to play soccer in 10th grade, although I was a strong player in the school soccer team, I used to lack of speed and stamina. In order to play soccer in a higher level, I decided to make a breakthrough on my physical condition. Accordingly, I worked out a strict diet for myself: vegetable and fruit as main food, a few starch foods like rice and potato and no junk food. On the other hand, I kept very intense soccer practice for most of days. At the beginning, I often felt starving before having meals. The most torturing thing was that I had to resist to the temptation of my favorite grilled steak and fried chicken when I was very hungry. However, I kept my diet strictly because I had a faith that fortune favors the tenacious. From

I was in the first grade when my weight increased significantly with no clear reason. After being tested for several different health conditions, we found out that I had been born with insulin resistance. This was a very hard time for my family and me because we had to figure out how to change our lifestyle in order to accommodate my new circumstances. But we did, and as my health increased I began to lose weight. However, after a while, I began to resent taking my medication and wanted to be able to eat all of the other foods my friends were able to enjoy.

“Every great accomplishment was believed to be impossible at one time”-Unknown. That is a great quote to live by. There are many things I would accomplish in my life. To start, I would like to accomplish getting all A's in my eighth grade year. I want to graduate high school. I also would like to go to medical school to become a hospitalist.

After eating a meal high in fats (Chips, cheese burger, French fries) a couple of hours earlier, my stomach felt full even before the workout. After starting the workout, the feeling in my stomach became even worse since while working out (jogging around the playground), the food in my stomach was being tossed up and down and I felt gastric juices rising and going down my gullet. I also felt sluggish as if something was holding me back while executing the physical activity.

We stared like lethal predators to our next prey. This time it was young man, waiting in a bus station. It was late and dark; the street was empty, therefore it was a perfect timing. This last couple of days were a lot confusing and stressful; I kept having the same nightmare. So I decided to kill again to snap out of it. The man sat quietly concentrated on his cell phone; poor soul, he doesn’t knows that his time is up. I made a sign to Bobby Lee to step up from the dark alley we were hiding and go toward the guy. As he moved closer I instructed Hiram to intersect the guy on his left while I went to his right.

While i was heading to the Food shelf, i found myself getting excited to clean the food shelf. From what i remembered from last week, the place was chaotic. From the start of the service learnings, i would think to myself "i wanted to help the food shelf the best I can." and heading towards the class today. i remembers

Going into this assignment I felt as if it was too much work and I would not enjoy it. That was not the case I loved this assignment and the tasks were extremely beneficial. Some tasks I felt as if they were important such as Coping Strategies and the Eating Log. I also found tasks to be difficult for me like Unplugging myself for twenty four hours as well as communication. My fitness log needs improvement throughout my life.

My name is Amy and I grew up in Los Angeles. I have been fortunate enough to be exposed to so many different types of foods. Having such wonderful exposure and a willingness to try anything, I find myself always gravitating back to Mexican food. The way its prepared, the wonderful flavors, the variety always seems to provide a delightful experience when eating.

For the most part my diet is okay but there can definitely be improvements. After breaking down my consumption I realized that I’m lacking in several areas, especially protein, potassium, and several essential vitamins like vitamin C, D, and E. One of my biggest problems, as is typical of most college students, is buying cheap, easy to make meals like frozen pizza and pasta. In addition, I also tend to not take the time to plan out my meals, or even take the time to cook. Now that we’re in the middle of finals my eating habits are even worse as I would rather not take time away from studying to cook. I love cereal as well and I think it would be beneficial to eat a more well-rounded breakfast. For example, I could incorporate eggs, avocado, or peanut butter into my breakfast routine. Smoothies, which I make in the afternoons on occasion, could also be a great way to improve my diet in the morning. Now that the weather is much warmer I’m not as concerned about

Do you have a particular hobby or activity you enjoy? Ventures outside school or work can be very relaxing, for me it's entirely different. I have gained many mental as well as physical skills such as strength, endurance, and motivation Because of CrossFit. I have learned various new things about the human body and have met many different types of people. Walking into that CrossFit gym is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, if I had not stepped in that gym, I would not be the same person I am today.

     I have many goals in life such as to have a good strong career and family. What is important to me is graduating Central high school and go on to UND. While at UND I plan to get my nursing degree and specialize in pediatrics and truama. I have
