Indlela Ekwandinceda Ngayo Ukutshintsha Indlela Enditya Ngayo Ukuze Ndinyamezele Ixhala

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Ukulwa kwam noxinzelelo kwaqala ekholejini, ngokudityaniswa koxinzelelo lwabafundi, ubomi boluntu, ukungawukhathaleli umzimba wam, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ukusela kakhulu.

Ngenxa yalo lonke olu xinzelelo, ndaqala ukothuka-ngohlobo lweentlungu zesifuba, ukubetha kwentliziyo, kunye nentlungu esifubeni nasezingalweni. Ndandisoyika ukuba ezi ziimpawu zesifo sentliziyo, ngenxa yoko andifuni ukuzihoya. Ndingaya esibhedlele ndichithe amawaka eedola kwii-EKG nje ukuba oogqirha bandixelele ukuba akukho nto iphosakeleyo ngentliziyo yam. Into abangazange bandixelele yona kukuba ixhala lalingunozala wengxaki. (Idibeneyo: Lo mfazi ukhombisa ngesibindi ukuba luKho kangakanani na uhlaselo loxinzelelo.)

Ukutya kwam ngokuqinisekileyo bekungancedi, nokuba. Bendihlala nditsiba isidlo sakusasa okanye ndifumane into endibalekayo kwindlu yam emdaka, enje ngehashi eqhotsiweyo emdaka, okanye ibhakoni, iqanda, kunye neebhegi zamasi ngempelaveki. Emva koko ndaya kwivenkile yokutyela ndaza ndababetha ngamandla abenzi beelekese, ndathatha iibhegi ezinkulu zegummies ezimuncu kunye neepretzels ezigqunywe ngetshokholethi ukuze ndizityhale xa ndifunda. Isidlo sasemini (ukuba ungayibiza njalo), ndingadibanisa iitshiphusi zokwenza i-barbecue phantse kuyo nayiphi na into, okanye ndiye ne-Cool Ranch Doritos evela kumatshini wokuthengisa wamathala eencwadi. Kwakukho nokutya okuqhelekileyo ebusuku: i-pizza, i-subs, i-margaritas kunye ne-chips kunye nokudibanisa, kwaye ewe, ii-Big Mac ezivela kwi-McDonald's drive-through. Nangona bendihlala ndiziva ndiphelelwe ngamanzi emzimbeni kwaye ndisitya ngendlela eneswekile eninzi, bendonwabile kwaye ndonwabile. Okanye ubuncinci, bendicinga ukuba ndinguye.

Ulonwabo lwehla kancinci xa ndafudukela kwisiXeko saseNew York kwaye ndaqalisa ukusebenza umsebenzi ocinezelayo weshishini njengegqwetha. Ndandibiza i-takeout kakhulu, ndisela utywala, kwaye ndiphila ubomi obungenampilo. Kwaye nangona bendiqala ukucinga malunga umbono yezempilo, ebonakala ekubaleni iikhalori kwiikhalori eziphikisanayo kwaye hayi ngokwenene ukubeka nantoni na yesondlo emzimbeni wam. Ndizamile ukusika ii-carbs kunye neekhalori nangayiphi na indlela endinako ngayo kwaye ndizama nokonga imali, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ndiza kutya i-quesadillas yesonka samasi okanye isonka esisicaba kunye namasi amdaka asezantsi njengokutya kabini ngemini. Into ebendicinga ukuba "inempilo" yolawulo lwesahlulo eneneni indenze ndaphantse ndane-20 yeekhilogram ezingaphantsi kobunzima-ndiya kuba ngumqobo ngaphandle kokuyiqonda. (Esi sizathu sokuba ukutya okuThintelweyo kungasebenzi.)

Ngenxa yokudityaniswa komsebenzi wam, ukutya kwam, kunye nendawo endikungqongileyo, ndaye ndonwaba kakhulu, kwaye ixhala laqala ukubulawula ubomi bam. Ebudeni belo xesha, ndayeka ukuphuma ndaza ndayeka ukufuna ukunxulumana nabantu. Umhlobo wam osenyongweni wayekhathazekile ngam, ke wandimema kuhambo lokusaba esixekweni ukuya kwindlu yakhe esezintabeni eNorth Carolina. Kubusuku bethu besibini apho, kude nempambano kunye nesiphazamiso sesiXeko saseNew York, ndiye ndaphelelwa ngamandla kwaye ekugqibeleni ndaqonda ukuba indlela enditya ngayo kunye neendlela zokumelana nexhala lam azindisebenzeli kwaphela. Ndabuyela esixekweni ndaza ndaqalisa ukubona ingcali yezondlo ukuze ndityebe. Undivule amehlo ngokubaluleka kwamafutha asempilweni kunye nothotho lwezondlo ezivela kwimveliso, eyatshintsha ngokupheleleyo indlela yam yokutya. Ndiqale ukukwamkela ukutya okujolise ekutyeni ndaye ndayeka ukusuka emazantsi okubala kweekhalori, ndaye ndaqala ukupheka okwam ukutya. Ndiqale ukuya kwiimarike zamafama kunye nakwiivenkile zokutya, ndifunda malunga nesondlo, kwaye ndizifaka kwindawo yokutya esempilweni. (Jonga kwakhona: Ungalunqoba njani iXhala loLuntu kwaye uyonwabele ixesha nabahlobo.)

Kancinci kancinci, ndiye ndaphawula ukuba ukubetha kwentliziyo yam kwaqala ukumka. Ngohlobo lonyango lokusebenza ngezandla zam, kudityaniswe nokutya ezi zinto zendalo, zinesondlo, ndaziva ngathi nam. Ndandifuna ukuba nentlalontle, kodwa ngendlela eyahlukileyo-ngaphandle kokuziva ndifuna ukusela. Ndiqale ukufumanisa unxibelelwano lokwenyani esinalo phakathi kwemizimba yethu kunye nento engena kuyo.

Ndithathe isigqibo sokuvela kwisicwangciso sam ukusukela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo sokuba ligqwetha, endaweni yoko ndenza ikhondo lomsebenzi omtsha endivumela ukuba ndibhaptize kumnqweno wam omtsha wesondlo kunye nokupheka. Ndabhalisa kwiiklasi zokupheka kwi-Natural Gourmet Institute kwiSixeko saseNew York, kwaye malunga neentsuku ezimbini kamva ndafumana umnxeba ovela kumhlobo okhangela umphathi wentengiso kwi-brand yokutya okunempilo ebizwa ngokuba yi-Health Warrior. Ndenza udliwanondlebe ngomnxeba ngosuku olulandelayo, ndawufumana lo msebenzi, ndaza ndaqala kwindlela eya kuthi ekugqibeleni ikhokelele ekubeni ndiqale elam igama. (Idibeneyo: Ukuxhalabisa-Ukunciphisa izisombululo zeMigibe yokuKhathazeka ngokuQhelekileyo.)

Kwiintsuku ezimbini emva kokuba ndithweswe isidanga kwiziko lezokutya njengoMpheki oQinisekileyo oQinisekisiweyo, ndabuyela kwidolophu endiyithandayo yaseNashville kwaye ndathenga igama lesizinda seLL Balanced, apho ndabelana khona ngokudityaniswa kweyona ndlela isempilweni, eyona ndlela imnandi yokupheka ekhaya. Injongo yayikukungayibhali indawo ukuba ibambelele nakweyiphi na into "yokutya" -abafundi abanokufumana kwaye benze ngokulula nantoni na evela kwi-vegan, ukuya kwi-gluten-free, ukuya kwi-Paleo eats, kunye nokujija okunesondlo kukutya okuthuthuzelayo kwase Mzantsi. Elona nyathelo lam litsha nelinomdla kakhulu kolu hambo lwempilo entle Incwadi yokuPhepha eLinganisiweyo yeLaura Lea, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ukutya kwam kuphile kwaye ndingene kumakhaya aphucukileyo ngokwempilo.

Isondlo sibutshintshile ubomi bam phantse ngazo zonke iindlela. Yeyona nto iphambili yempilo yam yeemvakalelo kunye nesitshixo esandivumela ukuba ndiphinde ndinxibelelane nam ndize ndiphinde ndinxibelelane nabanye abantu. Ngokutya ngokupheleleyo, okutsha, ikakhulu ukutya okusekelwe kwizityalo, ndiye ndakwazi ukulawula impilo yam yomzimba neyengqondo. Ngelixa ndihlala ndihlala ndingumntu othanda ukuxhalaba, kwaye iseza kwaye ihambe, yayiyindima yesondlo ebomini bam endivumeleyo ukuba ekugqibeleni ndifumane ibhalansi kwaye ndazi umzimba wam. Yaphinda yandenza ngokwam.
