Ukubetha njani ukukhulelwa kwesisindo sokukhulelwa
Umxholo
Kwiminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo, njengomama omtsha, ndazifumana sendiphambana nomgaqo. Ngenxa yokuguquguquka komtshato wam, ndandihlala ndindedwa kwaye ndindedwa-kwaye ndandihlala ndithuthuzelwa kukutya. Ndiyazi ukuba ndibeka iiponti, kodwa okwethutyana ndizikhohlisile ngokucinga ukuba izinto zilungile. Kodwa inyaniso yavela xa kwafuneka ukuba ekugqibeleni ndincame iimpahla zokubeleka. Andinakucinezela ndingene kubungakanani be-16.
Ndithathe isigqibo sokwenza utshintsho-hayi kuphela mna, kodwa, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ndenzela unyana wam. Bekufuneka ndiphile ubomi obusempilweni ukuze ndikwazi ukuqhubeka naye ngokwasemzimbeni ngaphandle kokuphulukana nomphefumlo wam, kwaye, ngethemba lokwandisa ixesha lam eMhlabeni kunye naye. Ndakhe ndanelinye ixesha lokukhanya kwebhalbhu yobomi kwaye ndaqonda ukuba nangona kwakukho iimeko ezininzi zoxinzelelo ebomini bam andizange ndikwazi ukuzibamba, nangona kunjalo, ndiyenzile. izele lawula into endiyifaka emlonyeni wam. (Jonga ama-50 oTshintsho lokutya ukusika iiCalories ezili-100.)
Ukuphila ubomi obusempilweni kwaba yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kum. Ndiyazi ukuba ndiphumelele ekutshintsheni imikhwa yam bendifuna uxanduva lokuphendula kunye nenkxaso, ngoko ke ndabhengeza iinjongo zam esidlangalaleni kwibhlog yam nakwiYouTube. Enkosi kubahlobo bam nakubalandeli bam, bendinoncedo kwinyathelo ngalinye lendlela, njengoko bendisabelana ngoloyiso lwam kunye nemingeni yam. Ndaye ndabuyela ekwenzeni izinto endizithandayo, njengokudanisa nokutyelela nabahlobo. Emva kweenyanga ezisibhozo zokuzibophelela kwindlela yokuphila esempilweni, ndiye ndadibana nobunzima bam: iikhilogram ezingama-52 zikhaphukhaphu kwaye ndikwazi ukungena kubungakanani besi-6.
Ndibuyele ekubeni ndingumntu othanda ukonwaba, othanda ulonwabo owayezimele kwaye erhaxwa ngamanqatha kunye nokungonwabi. Andizange ndiphelele nje ekunciphiseni ubunzima, kodwa kwakhona ndawuphelisa umtshato wam, yaye, ngenxa yoko, ndaphinda ndangoyena wokwenene!
Ndiqale uhambo lwam lokuphila ubomi obunempilo ngeveki yoMbulelo ka-2009, ndafika kubunzima bam beJulayi ka-2010 kwaye ndiye ndaqhubeka nokuphila ubomi obunempilo ukusukela ngoko. Ulondolozo alukho lula, kodwa into endisebenzeleyo kukuhlala ndigxile kwaye ndicela umngeni ngokulungiselela iminyamezelo yokunyamezela. Ndibaleke isiqingatha-semarathon sam sokuqala kunye neQela kuQeqesho ngo-Okthobha ka-2010. Ndandibalekela impilo yam, ewe, kodwa ndaphakamisa ngaphezulu kwe- $ 5000 kuluntu lweLeukemia kunye neLymphoma. Intombi yentombi yam eneminyaka emi-4 ubudala yayisilwa ne-leukemia kwaye ndabaleka ngembeko yayo. Ndaba likhoboka leziganeko zokunyamezela kwaye emva koko ndabaleka i-14 yesiqingatha-marathons kunye nomdyarho opheleleyo. Ngoku ndiqeqeshela ugqatso lwam lwesibini lweemitha ezingama-199 eRagnar. (Ingaba uimbaleki okokuqala? Jonga esi Sikhokhelo sabaQalayo ukubaleka i-5K.)
Kodwa, ngaphezulu kwayo yonke loo nto, ndicinga ukuba ububele kum kuyeyona nto ibalulekileyo ekugcineni impilo yam. Ndiyazi ukuba yonke imihla ndisenokungazilolongi kwaye ndingangenzi olona khetho lulungileyo lokutya. Nangona kunjalo, ndikholelwa ukuba ukuzifica "kuyo yonke into ngokumodareyitha" kundenza ndizive ndivinjwa kwaye ndisebenzise ngokugqithiseleyo: Ndithathe indlela yokuphila, kungekhona ukutya. Ndiziva ndikhululekile, ndikhangeleka ndimhle kwaye ndonwabile kunokuba bendineminyaka. Kwaye ngoku unyana wam uyakuqonda ukubaluleka kokwenza umthambo nokutya okunempilo; ubengoyena mchulumancisi wam kwaye ukhe wazilolonga nam! Ndizinike isipho sempilo kwaye sisipho esiqhubekayo!
