Getting My Health On Track

I've always been quite a healthy person despite my somewhat poor nutrition. Generally, I don't get sick very often and I'm able to endure things that most people's bodies can't handle. Most days I don't eat until noon, sometimes 3 pm depending on if I have lunch that day or not. I go to sleep late every night. However, these bad habits never used to affect my health until recently.

I blame it on growing older but my body just can't handle what it used to handle. My stamina is at an all time low from not exercising. I get out of breath from a couple of flights of stairs. I can no longer handle not eating, I have to eat breakfast and lunch or else I feel faint and sick. I just want to point out I never skipped meals for dieting reasons but it's just that I'm always running late in the morning or have club activities at lunch so I skip meals to save time. I think it's a good thing my body can't handle it anymore because it's a very unhealthy thing to do. Overall I eat a lot of snack foods and my health is deteriorating because of my poor nutrition.

I've started to do some research on healthy foods and how to make my diet more healthy and nutritious. I always blame school on me not being able to get myself on track but I don't want to do that this time. Homework or not, it's important that I get my health under control before something bad happens. I think a lot of young people have the same kind of idea as me that if you're young you don't really need to worry about your health but I think it's a naive way of thinking. You can get away with more when you are younger but you aren't immune to health issues, if you have bad health it's going to affect you. To me, my health is important and I'm going to treat exercising and healthy eating as a priority because they are priorities. I hope this time I can actually stick to my word instead of falling back into bad habits.
