A positive change in my life happened at a very early age. This was probably during my school days. So it was in terms of my eating habits. I vividly remember being hospitalized when I was in grade 9. This was due to my poor eating habits. I was actually a feeding frenzy when it came to eating junk food, oily food and all sorts of fast foods. But after being hospitalized for a week and missing out on my birthday, I realized that I had to drastically work on my eating habits. I had to be very careful with what I put inside my mouth because that would ultimately reflect on my health. So the very next day when I was discharged, after being discharged, I stopped consuming junk food. I only used to eat home-cooked food. I followed this practice religiously for the next 7-8 years of my life until I allowed my first cheat meal. By then a lot of changes had happened in my body. Right from seeing myself perform better, look better, feel better, think better. I could also see myself, I could also notice physical changes in my body. I was actually very lanky and short. Within 2 years my height spurt up, I put on some muscle and I haven’t fallen sick ever since that day.
