Weight Gain and School Food, ECT!
Question: Weight Gain and School Food, ECT
Note: I'm not so sure where to put this!.!.!.
*sigh* I'm not really sure that anyone can help me with this!. It's also abit random!.
Anyways, I'm a bit bummed out, simply because A) School is starting soon and B) The food!.
Last year I started High School, I had been homeschooling a few years before that!. I've always been a bit heavy, and figured being in school might help me to loose weight!. Well, I gained it instead!.
It just stinks! Everything there is so unhealthy!. And if you want to eat decent, then it costs you!. I mean, I want water, but water isn't free, milk is!.
I would eat salad everyday!.!.!.!. however, they don't have good quality, and I grew up on veggies, I love veggies!. So I can't settle for anything less than good quality produce!. Theres also that little fact that, oh tsk, all the things I want are on the back of the bar, which I cannot reach!. And even when the lunch ladies see you stuggling to get said veggie, they don't help!.
Has anyone ever done anything to change the menu in their cafeteria!? I really want to make changes, and I know other people do, but I'm not sure HOW!.
It's not just the food either, but it's a big part of the problem!. I'm bothered by the fact that they don't allow kids to drink in class!. Water even!. Aren't we told to drink tons of water a day!? That it helps to remain full and awake!? So we spend half our day at school and are expected to get half that water in durring a 30 minute break!? What a smart idea!.!.!.!. it will so totally work!
So, does anyone know how to get people to listen to you in these cases!? For a long time I've wanted to change things about my life, and the world I live in!.!.!.!. but I usually get fed up because no one cares- they loose that desire to change things to!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Things are changing gradually, because young people like yourself are realizing what crap is being sold in restaurants and cafeterias!. There never used to be salads at fast food places, so things are improving!. By the time you have kids, things will be a lot better!. By the time THEY have kids, things will be better yet!. You'll see!. Is there some way you can take your lunch and keep it in a fridge somewhere!? If not, make a sandwhich, and if you like mayo, take the packets you get in fast food joints!.
Your letter is great!. Especially the part of drinking water in class! Try to find out who's in charge of nutrition in your school, and send that person exactly what you wrote in your question!. You have so many good ideas!. Someone has to start somewhere!! The best I can do is give you a star!
Bless you and good luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I know exactly how you feel!. Sometimes I just eat a small lunch at school and then eat healthy foods when I get home!. Would it be possible to make your lunch at home and bring it to school!? Then you wouldn't have to worry!. Or when you go to the salad bar just ask someone to help you reach what you need!. I wouldn't put up with people ignoring you!. And could you bring water in a purse or backpack to have with you!? Even if you couldn't drink it in class at least you wouldn't have to pay for it in the cafe!. To make some changes, start with suggesting what you want to see to the food director or other people in charge!. Good luck!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
