Kukhala ndi Matenda Aakulu

Kukula ndi zovuta, nthawi zonse ndimamverera ngati "msungwana uja." Msungwana amene sankakhala ndi zikondamoyo za kubadwa; mtsikana uja yemwe analibe chokoleti chokonda kwambiri; msungwana uja yemwe sanali kudya pagawo la pizza pa phwando la kalasi. Pamene ndinali wamng'ono, ndinkaona ngati ndine ndekha padziko lapansi amene ndiwopseza moyo wanga. Ndikudziwa tsopano kuti izi si zoona. Malingana ndi Chakudya Chakudya Chakudya ndi Maphunziro (FARE), za 1 mu 13 ana ali ndi zakudya zina zamtundu. Ndipo a 40% mwa ana omwe ali ndi chiwopsezo cha zakudya akhala akukumana ndi vuto lalikulu ngati anaphylaxis¹. Anaphylaxis ndi "yoopsa, yomwe ingapangitse kuti thupi lanu liwonongeke ... [ilo] limapangitsa chitetezo chanu cha mthupi kutulutsa chivomezi cha mankhwala omwe angakuchititseni mantha."² Tsoka ilo, ndinali m'modzi mwa ana awa. Kumbukirani, pali kusiyana pakati pa "kusagwirizana" ndi "kusagwirizana." Sindikumva bwino zakumwa zonse za mkaka. Inde, mwawerenga pomwepo. Mkaka. Monga batala, tchizi, ndi mkaka. Izi ndizodziwika. Koma musaiwale za mafuta odzola a mkaka, malo odyera omwe amaphika ma hamburger ndi cheeseburger awo pa grill lomwelo, o ndi timadzi tating'onoting'ono tomwe timayandama mlengalenga ku Starbucks. Olakwa onse obisikawa adandifikitsa mchipinda chadzidzidzi. Pakati pa moyo wanga, ndakhala mchipinda chodzidzimutsa maulendo khumi ndi awiri chifukwa cha mkaka wosadziwika. Ngakhale, ngati ndikunena zowona, zina mwanthawizo zidangokhala chifukwa chonyalanyaza kwanga. Ndizovuta komanso nthawi yambiri kuti muzindikire chilichonse chomwe chili mchakudya chilichonse chomwe ndimadya. Nthawi zina ndinkangokhala waulesi komanso sindinkayang'ananso kawiri.

Kukhala "mtsikana uja" pamene ndinali wamng'ono ndinali wolimba. Kunalibe kuzindikira kwenikweni za chifuwa chonse. Zedi, anthu amadziwa za chiwindi ndi ndowe, koma mkaka? Ndani ali ndi vuto la mkaka ?! Ndinauzidwa ndi wotsutsa zanga pamene ndinali mwana kuti "ndithudi" ndikanakhala kuti ndili ndi 14. Kotero ndinayamba kuwerenga kuwerenga mpaka tsiku lakhumi ndi chinayi. Amuna khumi ndi anayi adabwera ndikupita, monga 15, 16, ndi masiku onse okubadwa pambuyo pake. Ndipo pano ndikukhala, zaka zingapo zapitazi, ndikumwa mkaka wanga ndi mkaka wa amondi, ndikudya chotupa changa ndi mitsempha "kufalikira." Zondikhumudwitsa ndikuzindikira kuti mwina wotsutsa zanga ndiye zosiyana kwambiri tsopano kuposa momwe zinaliri pamene ndinali wamng'ono chifukwa cha

Kupititsa patsogolo malonda a zakudya. Mwamwayi ndipo mwatsoka, zambiri zachitika chifukwa chakuti ana ambiri akupezeka kuti ali ndi chifuwa cha zakudya. Chidziwitso chawonjezeka, zakudya zasintha kupita ku zosankha zambiri za mkaka, ndipo, motero, ndimapindula. Kuchokera ku zosankha za tchizi zopanda mkaka, kwa amakoka, ku kirimu wowawasa ndi maswiti, ndimatha kudya zakudya zomwezo monga anzanga komanso achibale anga onse.

Ngakhale ndikukondwera ndi zonse zomwe zakhala zikuchitika pakuzindikira ndi kufufuza zowonjezera zakudya, pakhala pali mavuto ena. Ngati pali chinthu chimodzi chomwe ndikulakalaka ndikanakhoza kugawana nawo dziko za chifuwa ndikuti pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa zovuta ndi kusagwirizana. Komanso, ndikanena kuti ndili ndi zovuta, chonde nditengereni mozama. Ine sindikuyesera kuti ndipangitse moyo wa waittaff kukhala wovuta kuresitora. Sikuti ndimakonda sandwich yanga popanda tchizi, kapena kuti izo zimandipangitsa ine gassy. Zidzanditengera kuchipatala ndikutseka kwanga, kuthamanga kwa magazi kwatsika, ndipo thupi langa likupita kumalo onse omenyana-kapena-ndege. Ndadziŵa kuti ndili ndi mankhwala osakaniza kwa mkaka kwa moyo wanga wonse. Ndinadwala kirimu ndikukwapula ngati mwana ndipo mayesero a zowononga anatsimikizira kuti akudandaula. Ndimakonda kuwerenga zowonjezera ndikudziwa zomwe zimakhala zotetezeka kudya ndi zomwe siziri. Nthawi zina ndimakhala ngati "mtsikana uja," koma ndazindikira kuti zovuta zanga siziyenera kulamulira moyo wanga. Tsopano, anthu ochulukirapo akuphunzira za chifuwa chawo m'tsogolo. Ngati mukuganiza kuti mungakhale ndi zakudya zowonjezera, lankhulani ndi dokotala mwamsanga. Amatha kukuthandizani kudziwa zomwe mungachite kuti mudziwe.
