The Thoughts of a Homeless Child. Part 3

By Shyloh

Part three of the continued series of jumbled and articulate thoughts of a nineteen year old.

Today I’m going to be writing about eating healthily. It is common among people around the world to eat three meals a day. But, for some of us that seems like a daunting challenge. Those of us like me will eat a handful of chips and think we’re set to go throughout our day. I have an unhealthy habit of skipping breakfast, lunch, and sometimes even dinner. Either I’m not feeling hungry, or I’m too preoccupied with life to worry about my food intake. This hasn’t helped me in the long run and has even contributed to eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia, in which I struggle with both. I am also anemic, which means my body doesn’t produce enough iron to circulate my blood properly. Just yesterday, I forgot to eat anything and blacked out because I was too weak. I’ve had to set reminders on my phone to remind me to eat, which has helped me. Signing out, Shyloh
