Task 3

Confessions Of A Fussy Eater

I was sitting in the dining room with all kinds of food around the table and several pairs of eyes glaring at me. This was a complete nightmare and I felt extremely awkward in that position. It all started when I had a horrible eating habit which is eating nothing but my favourite chips and pastas. I still do not know why this eating habit suddenly grew but it was definitely affecting my life.

My family tried all means to get me to try some new food by forcing them in my mouth and throwing out the foods that I can only depend from the house. However, it was no use because I would just have a sudden urge to vomit the food out thus, making me sick and instead I would continue buying my usual easy foods. This made me feel that it was impossible for me to get use to foods. My fiance was on the verge of getting frustrated with me because we could not even have a proper dinner date. Everyday, my family would look at me with such worrying eyes as though something bad might happen to me soon but I never paid attention to them as I felt healthy and fine.

After I came home from work late at night, I saw a perculiar tape address to me. I have not seen it before and I find it very mysterious but as I played it, tears welled up in my eyes. It was a footage of encouragement from every single family member including my fiance to help persuade me to get rid of my eating habits. From it, I could feel their emotions as they spoke and how they were worried of my future if I continue. After watching it, I was disappointed in myself for being so selfish but it also gave me determination to help remove that eating habit of mine from their support.

As the few following days passed, I began to respect them more and I tried to get every single alien food in my stomach. It definitely caused me to be sick several days and it was extremely difficult chewing them. However, I managed to adapt and I discovered some delicious food which I really like such as cherry tomatoes and fish. Fruits are the best I have tasted because it is very sweet and juicy. My family seemed very curious but at the same time relieved that I was finally able to eat normally and have meal times together. I was also able to have proper dinner dates with my fiance and our relationship grew.


Being from a fussy eater to now, has made very good progress in my life especially my health and from this experience, I am finally able to create a new chapter in life.
