Fast Food is BAD...

 When i was a little kid my parents would buy me and my brothers fast food every time we asked. My mom actually cooked allot for us, but we did'nt want healthy food, we wanted the greasy good stuff. I remember me and my brothers would get exited when we knew we were getting fast food. It really was true when they said happy meals would make you happy. We really did not understand why fast food was so bad until i began to gain weight. It was the begining of the end for fast food in my book.




 I would keep eating fast food until i was 17 years old. That was when i realized i was overweight, i knew i had to do something. I began to eat well and doing exercise. I was able to lose sixty-five pounds and get my life back on track. But i realized that eating fast food was a lose, lose situation. It was just unhealthy and bad for my health, that was when i learned the truth about fast food. That instead of satisfying hunger, it used to make me want more of it.




 Now adays i dont really rely on fast food much anymore. Because i used to weight more i resorted to stay away from fast food, only because it was fast, cheap, and tasy. I now cook my own meals or if i do eat outside, i tend to get the healthiest choices. Once in a while i do eat something unhealthy but not too often. Fast food could be like a drug, addicting. But you control what you eat, food does'nt control you. I would not recomend anyone to eat fast food more than once a month, it's not good for you!.

About Me

My name is omar and i used to live in los angeles, CA. When i lived there i used to get in alot of trouble because it was harder living there than it is in oxnard. It's not a bad place i actually like it, the problem was that i got caught up with the wrong group of people. I was not doing so good, i was told that i would not be graduating. So i decided to move to a better place, I moved to Oxnard and found Pacifica High School, my councelor helped me alot, thanks to her help, my family's support, and my determination i was able to graduate.




Now I live in Oxnard, CA it's a calm place to live in, even though i miss the fun of LA. It's been a challenge meeting new people but it was'nt impossible. I dont cosider it hard to talk to everyone because i like to stay possitive. Sometimes i am awkward i'll admit that but everyone is, i still go for it. Right now im focusing on school because i want to achieve my goals, and i feel like i can do "almost" anything right now,  im not superman but sometimes i feel that way. I have decided now to throw away my luggage of bad experiences and move on.



I am looking forward to knowing more people, and finishing college. I just want to live life to it's fullest, and would sure like to travel around the world. I would'nt want to stay in one place forever. Like i always say, I just got to start looking for the good things in life and stop settling for less. But one thing is for sure, i am planning for my future and im also waiting to shine. It's not far till i reach the goal i have set for myself.
