This was the fifth time I was examining myself in the mirror today. I guess people were right when they teased me and continuously passed comments. A closer look helped me notice my protruding stomach, the double chin and the heavy thighs. I was lonely in fact the reason of this feeling was my body. Devastated, I stood besides the window for some cool breeze to freshen me up but alas! All I saw were restaurants and luxuries. Munching cookies, chips, sodas, burgers and sitting all day were amongst my top priorities. I switched on the television and the show was all about obesity and the damage it does to the health. For a moment it looked like an old story which people hear from the day they are born. It never mattered to me until a day when everything affected me. This was probably because of the fact that I started taking things seriously or maybe it was just today that my doctor told me that I was suffering from hypertension and prescribed pills. He also stated that I had the chance of developing diabetes. This was a bad news.
Earlier, despite having a pretty face I was unable to earn respect, love and belongingness merely because of the body fat. To add in to the misery, now I am ill. This thought at one point compelled me to eat more because I hated the people around me for whom my appearance was...
On the other hand, I wanted to keep away from food. It was my mother who helped me get out of this confusion and frustration. She made me aware that it is not only for the appearance but for my own health and well being. Being unsure about where I was heading, she enrolled me into a gym. Moreover, meeting the top nutritionists, attending workshops and watching health shows gradually became a part of my life. My family continuously reminded me how important I was to them; strengthening my will power and enhancing my courage.
I used to hate these things at the beginning until the point where I noticed a change. It was not only about the way people looked at me but the way I felt. I experienced a light and a happy time. The morning walk and the evening jog did not only flex my muscles but also made me love the beauty of nature. These were the things which were missing in my life. The road to satisfaction and peace kept me away from the harmful pleasure which I used to find in high calorie food, drugs and laying in bed. The doctor incorporated fruits and fresh vegetables in my diet while my mother told me interesting healthy facts about these eatables that I gradually replaced the junk with. I started to admire the fragrance of green tea, the color of the leafy vegetables and fresh juices. Consequently, a drop in the kg…

Physician Assistant Program Narrative Personal Statement: My Motivation towards Becoming a PA We all have dreams and aspirations. As a young child, my dream was to become a chef.

* The effects on normal aging and metabolism is that after the age of forty, metabolism usually decreases by about 5% every ten years. That does not mean that metabolism cannot be controlled to some extent; it can. Metabolism is loosely defined as the chemical workings within our bodies that help us to maintain a certain level of energy use, calorie burning and general energy (even at rest).
In many ways, students live both in the land-based or physical world as well as in the virtual world; leading what some considers parallel lives. Helliwell & Putman (2004) posit that social networking sites may offer an avenue for the development of greater social capital which may serve to further reinforce students' likelihood of integrating Facebook and other social media sites into their regular routines. A suggestion made as to the
