I think there is one snack I will never eat again in my life.
For about two years starting in 2024,
I went through a period where I could barely do anything.
I’m not trying to write about depression today,
but that time made me remember a habit I had.
I used to eat a bag of spicy chips every single day.
At first it was just a snack,
but after a while it became part of my daily routine.
The problem was addiction.
Every day I started to crave it.
One bag was not enough anymore,
and the amount slowly increased.
I knew it wasn’t healthy,
but I kept eating it anyway.
Soon my body started reacting.
My digestion became worse,
and even normal meals felt heavy.
It felt like my stomach was slowly breaking down.
I gained weight too,
especially around my belly.
I’m still trying to lose the weight I gained back then.
Eventually my stomach hurt badly,
and I even had to get an endoscopy.
Looking back,
I think those chips gave me comfort during that time.
When I wasn’t doing anything,
they became a small habit that helped me get through the day.
But when I realized my body was getting worse,
I knew I had to stop.
There was no special method.
I just stopped when the pain became too much.
I still eat snacks sometimes,
but I never eat those chips anymore.
I’m afraid I might get addicted again.
I will probably never eat them for the rest of my life.
If someone reading this is addicted to junk food like I was,
I truly hope you can stop before your body starts hurting.
Greasy chips and a life without movement
damaged my body more than I expected.
