When I was a kid, I didn't know a thing about healty eating, but it wasn't until I was a teenager that I packed on the pounds. I have no car and live nowhere near a store of any sort. My mother only goes grocery shopping once every few months. Now that I'll be a college student next spring I've realized that I no longer have those things holding me back. My campus has a free gym, fresh and tasty foods, and plenty of safe space to walk. So right now I'm planning for my switch to a healthier lifestyle, and hopefully I'll lose around 30 pounds in the process.
