Greetings everyone, One thing about bad habit is that once one get addicted to it, to come out is hard. I have a personal story to share with you how a bad habit that almost ruined my life and marriage.
Am this kind of person that loves eating out, eating at the eatery and street food, during my university days i hardly cook, i had this mindset that cooking it takes more time to prepare, by the time you go to market buy the foodstuffs and come back home and cook it, you will be left with no time, sometimes it might not come good at end, after putting much effort and time in cooking the food, coupled with the fact that I don't know how to cook then, this made me prefer going to the eatery to eat, which I see it's more faster and saves my time.
This continues in my courtship with my fiance, now my husband not knowing how deep i am addicted to it, i don't enjoy my own food, I prefer eating outside, my husband will complain and talk, i will still be adamant. There's this woman that cooks food where i work, once i get to work, i will call her to book down food for me that i will eat on each the day 🤣. That's to tell you how bad habit has deepen.
One day my husband warned me seriously that if i don't stop eating outside and eat the food I cooked by myself, that he don't mind ending our relationship. Coupled with the fact I was adding in weight and also eat late night, and I was getting obsessed gradually. With that warning, i stopped but not fully because i still eat secretly without him knowing.
One particular day the worse happened, that almost took my life, on that fateful day, i went out as usual to work on my way coming home i saw this street food, roasted pork meat, i bought alot of it because it's been long i ate it and I was craving for it. I got home and ate the pork, after some hours, I started feeling discomfort in my tummy. I felt the urge to vomit and I starts throwing up, and the same time i was stooling. I couldn't stand up nor leave the restroom, to the extent I was stooling blood.
I taught my life will end that day, i became weak and unconscious, the next thing I saw myself was in the hospital, where i was administered with some medication. Right there at the hospital, i pleaded to God to save me and spare my life and there i vowed never to eat street food or eat at any food cooked outside again. Thank God at the end of the day I was discharged to go home. Since then till now, i never tried eating outside.
In conclusion,we should be careful on what we eat out there, because we how it's been prepared and the environment where its processed, this is to say "we should burn down our bad habits before it burns us down", bad habit is a very bad thing to be addicted to, one can be saved by God's intervention, self determination or therapy.
Thanks stopping by and reading this far
