Personal Narrative: My Trip To A Meijer Grocery Store

Reflection 4 Topic: Bulimia Nervosa and the Bulimic Why did you choose this topic? What were your specific learning goals for this reflection and why? I chose the topic of Bulimia Nervosa because it seemed like the disorder I could best wrap my head around in the substance-abuse/addictive section. I had brought this up to my mother and she mentioned that she still struggles with bulimia and has for 25+ years. I found this interesting because I had zero clue about her nearly fatal battle with the disorder and because she did not belong to the skinny, teenage girl stereotype of bulimia.

When we arrived at Starbucks the first thing that came out of her mouth was, “Do not tell them it’s for me. They will call the cops. I am not allowed here at all, so don’t act suspicious.” I laughed and gave her my word that they wouldn’t know it’s for her. I came back with her Java Chip frap and brownie.

My Senior year was supposed to be a a time to remember but it was not. I got into my first accident.

Especially, my dad who had been driving the whole time. So we pulled off of I-75 onto an exit and went to a gas station. It was like a restaurant and gas station mixed. It was really big and everyone was allowed to grab one snack and a drink. I went with the usual teriyaki beef jerky and strawberry gatorade.

I knew my diet was trash but didn’t have the motivation to change it. That changed when I looked in the mirror and realized I’d put on 60lbs since high school. I didn’t look great and I didn’t feel too hot either. I wanted to live a healthier lifestyle.

The food in the hotel was the worst food I had ever tasted, it tasted like a mouthful of cardboard. After I was done spitting out my food, it was time to play some baseball. My dad and I left the hotel and went over to the baseball diamonds. When I stepped out of the car, I took a deep breath of fresh air.

There were many struggles throughout the month of my fast. I was constantly tempted to quit my goal when seeing my family and friends eat meat and chocolate. However, instead of giving up on my goal, I clenched my teeth, took a deep breath, and moved on. While I was on my fast, my friends were a huge obstacle; they continuously teased me by waving chocolate in my face and by offering me chocolate

Diabetes instantaneously made that phrase my reality.. I like to call this story, the worst day of my life. My nerves were already on edge because I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled. When I came home from the surgery, I felt horrible. Getting out of bed was an ordeal; my body felt lousy.

I walk by the shoe section and grab a pair of flip flops out of a basket where two women were looking at the shoes. Neither noticed I had done so, but looked very puzzled when they realized a pair had gone missing. So I continued my quest, and found a man in the men's section. I grabbed from his cart a pack of men's underwear. He noticed, but just stood there looking at me like he could not believe what was going on.

My family and I were having a hard time trying to figure out where to go to dinner one night. My brother had mentioned Anthony's Pizza in Brandon and my mom vowed for Pizza Palace in Lakeland. However, both restaurants encountered a long distance drive and the meals were going to be more expensive. That's when i indicated getting Hungry Howie's takeout for dinner. I proposed that the drive was not as long, twenty dollars could feed the whole family, and we could eat in the comfort of our home.

On the way, we all resolved to make a pit-stop by McDonald 's to get some breakfast. Our on selves stayed approximately an hour seeing that I pleaded my family to get back onto the road on behalf of my patience escalating very slim.

Stress is a norm for people, it is applied to their daily lives, even without their own awareness. In order for that stress to be relieved, people search for different outlets. Binge eating provides provisional contentment and can briefly elevate a person's

Five years ago, I worked for Publix Supermarket, and I lived in Warner Robins Georgia. This next weekend was inventory time and the entire store was to be counted by Monday morning. Nobody was pleased about offering up their weekend for inventory. The stores morale was extremely low, and no one wanted to be counting inventory all weekend. Our supervisor decided to offer each one a chance to demonstrate how effective they could work as a team. Tom divided us up into teams, and he was offering up different prizes to all the teams.

This was a win, win situation, therefore each one was a winner, but the furthermost significant element was that the moral
