Have you ever just looked in the mirror and said “wow I hate myself today.” How about have you ever tried to fit into your favorite pair of jeans and you can’t? Or what about whenever you decide to eat healthy and step on the scale and there is no difference in your weight at all?

 

THESE ARE ALL REASONS FOOD SUCKS.

 

Growing up I was never skinny. I was never called pretty. I was bullied for my weight and truthfully when I was little it hurt. BUT now ask me if I care even the slightest bit. I will tell you why I don’t. 

Food sucks because it’s there when no one else is. Its there on a Friday night whenever you are bored and laying in bed and binge watching Netflix for hours. 

Food is there when the boy you were in love with broke your heart for the one hundredth time. 

Food is there when you are so hungry you eat anything in sight. 

Food is there whenever you need it to be and that is the issue. 

Food is there when you want to try and become skinny, but for some reason you still can’t shed the pounds.

No matter what anyone says, America is totally dependent on food and that will not change anytime soon. But truthfully do you want to know why it shouldn’t’t change?  

PEOPLE SUCK. 

Usually if a human is depending on food, it is because they are sad. Or someone hurt them and they are eating to feel better because they find comfort in it. When someone passes away the human will binge eat to take their mind away from the sadness. People usually go to food when they are bored, and if they want to do that let them. There is no need to call someone “fat” or a “whale” because they weigh a little bit more than you. 

So to conclude one more time, 

FOOD SUCKS, AND SO DO PEOPLE.

Hey all! My name is Megan and I am a freshman at Clarion University. I am studying nursing and absolutely love it. The reason I started writing is because it takes away a lot of pressure and stress from my life. I enjoy having times to myself where I can vent and speak my mind about things. What you will find out about me through my writing is that my life isn't ordinary. Something new and exciting is always happening and my writing will reflect that. Can't wait to see what you all think of my writing. Xoxo, Meg
