Komabe pamene tinkalankhula ndi Susan pafoni, chisangalalo chake ndi mphamvu zake zidabwera momveka bwino, mawu ake akuwala. Titafunsa zomwe anali kuchita, adati "ndizabwino." Masiku ano, Susan ali ndi PhD muubongo komanso sayansi yazidziwitso, ndiye mwini bizinesi yabizinesi yochepetsa thupi, wakhala waukhondo komanso wopanda nkhawa kwazaka 20, komanso kuyambira kukula 16 mpaka kukula anayi. Ngati mukuganiza "Ndani, bwanji?" kenako konzekerani zinsinsi zomwe Susan adachita bwino komanso ulendo wovuta womwe adayenera kuupirira kuti akafike kumeneko.

Susan: Kale

Malingaliro Abwino Amalowa M'nyengo Yamdima

Susan anakulira m’dera lokongola la San Francisco, kumene ankakonda kuphika komanso kuchita bwino kusukulu. Koma monga momwe anadzadziwira pambuyo pake, ubongo wake udalumikizidwa ndi kumwerekera, ndipo paunyamata wake kumwerekera kwake kunali chakudya. "Kulemera kwanga kunandizunza. Ndinali mwana ndekha [wopanda] anzanga ambiri," adatero. "Ndinkakhala ndi maola awa ndekha kusukulu, momwe chakudya chidakhala mnzanga, chisangalalo changa, dongosolo langa." Pofika zaka 12, Susan anali atanenepa kwambiri.

Susan ali ndi zaka 14, adapeza "njira yabwino kwambiri yazakudya": mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Adafotokozera zomwe adakumana nazo ndi bowa, ulendo wake usiku wonse, ndipo chifukwa chake, m'mene adatayira mapaundi asanu ndi awiri tsiku limodzi. Bowa anali khomo lake lopita ku mankhwala olimba kwambiri, omwe adayamba ndi crystal methamphetamine.

Susan ananena kuti: “Crystal meth anali mankhwala abwino kwambiri okhudza zakudya, kenako anali cocaine, kenako crack cocaine. "Ndinasiya sukulu ya sekondale. Ndinali kuonda, ndipo ndi crystal meth ndinachepa thupi. Ndinali wosokonezeka maganizo. Ndinatentha moyo wanga pansi."

Mpaka pomwe anamaliza sukulu ya sekondale, Susan anali wophunzira wowongoka, koma mankhwala osokoneza bongo ndi zizolowezi zomwe zidamupatsa zinali zabwino kwambiri. Pofika zaka 20, anali kukhala kunja kwa "hotelo ya crack" ku San Francisco monga mtsikana woimba foni.

"Ndidatsikira pansi kwambiri," adatiuza. "Ndinali hule wometedwa mutu ndi wigi ya blond. Ndinkapita kukagwira ntchito, ndikupeza madola chikwi chimodzi usiku umodzi ... zonsezi zinali ndalama za mankhwala." Susan adati azisuta fodya kwa masiku angapo. “Umenewo unali moyo wanga.

Mu Ogasiti 1994, chidutswa cha chiyembekezo chidawonekera. Amakumbukira bwino lomwe tsiku ndi mphindi yake. "Inali 10 m'mawa Lachiwiri. Ndinali ndi nthawi imodzi, yomveka, yochenjeza pomwe ndidazindikira za boma langa, momwe ndimakhalira, yemwe ndinali, zomwe ndidakhala," adatero. "Unachitikira kumeneko ndi makanema ojambula osiyanitsidwa ndi zosiyana ndi zomwe ndimayembekezera ndekha, moyo womwe ndimayembekezera kukhala nawo. Ndinkafuna kupita ku Harvard."

Susan adadziwa kuti ayenera kuchitapo kanthu nthawi yomweyo. "Uthenga womwe ndinamva panthawiyo unali womveka bwino komanso wolunjika: 'Ngati sunyamuka ndikuchoka pano pakali pano, izi ndi zomwe udzakhala." m’nyumba ya bwenzi lake, anadziyeretsa, nayamba kudzikonzekeretsa.

Mnyamata wina adamufunsa pa tsiku loyamba losazolowereka ndipo adapita naye ku msonkhano wa masitepe 12 m'chipinda chapansi pa Grace Cathedral, ndipo monga momwe Susan akunenera, "Mnyamatayo anali wolumala koma ndinayamba ulendo wanga. " Kuyambira tsiku limenelo sanamwepo mowa kapena mankhwala osokoneza bongo.

Susan: Pambuyo pake

"Ndinadziwa kuti ndikalemera ndikangosiya kuchita maphokoso, ndipo ndidatero," adatero Susan. "Ndidabwereza kumbuyo, ndipo zinali pomwepo ndikumwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo a rigmarole: mapiritsi a ayisikilimu usiku kwambiri, miphika ya pasitala, kudutsa munthawi ya chakudya chofulumira, kulakalaka, kuyamwa, [ndikupita] pakati usiku kupita ku golosale."

Susan anazindikira ndondomekoyi nthawi yomweyo. "Pamenepo ndinali mu pulogalamu ya 12, ndipo ndinkadziwa kuti ndikugwiritsa ntchito chakudya monga mankhwala; ndinkatha kuziwona ngati tsiku," adatero. "Ubongo wanga unali ndi waya wogwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Panthawiyo, ma dopamine receptors anali ataponyedwa kunja kuchokera ku cocaine, crystal meth, ndi crack. Ndinkafunika kukonza ndi shuga zomwe zinali kupezeka."

Ubale wake ndi chakudya unali wosiyana kwambiri pakadali pano m'moyo wake kuposa momwe unalili ali mwana, amatumizira chakudya chamadzulo kuchokera kukhitchini yabanja lawo. "Ndinafika poti ndimadya ndikungotsika misozi. Sindinkafunanso kukhala Susan ndi vuto la chakudya; ndinakhala nthawi yayitali ndili [iye]."

Susan anadziwa kuti ayenera kuphunzira zambiri za ubongo wa munthu - makamaka ubongo wake - kuti adziwe gwero la zizolowezi zake zosokoneza bongo. Kungakhale yankho lokhalo pazaka makumi ambiri zolimbana ndi chakudya, kunenepa kwambiri, komanso kudzitsitsa. Adachita maphunziro olimbikira, ndipo pamapeto pake adakhala katswiri wamaphunziro amisala ndi madigiri kuchokera ku UC Berkeley, University of Rochester, ndi UNSW ku Sydney, komwe adachita ntchito yake yaudokotala. Anapereka ntchito yake yophunzitsa kuti aphunzire za ubongo ndi zotsatira za chakudya pa izo.

Kubwezeretsanso Ulamuliro Wabwino

Iye adalongosola kuti lingaliro la "chilichonse mosapitirira malire" silimaganizo amodzi. Anayerekezera chizoloŵezi chake cha zakudya ndi munthu amene ali ndi emphysema chifukwa chosuta fodya. Simungamuuze munthu ameneyo kuti atenge "pulogalamu ya chikonga" - mungawauze kuti asiye kusuta. "Chakudya chimabwereketsa mtundu wosasamala. Pali ufulu wopewa."

Susan nthawi zambiri amakumana ndi anthu akunena kuti, "Chabwino, uyenera kudya kuti ukhale ndi moyo!" Susan akuti, "Uyenera kudya kuti ukhale ndi moyo, koma suyenera kudya donuts kuti ukhale ndi moyo." Kudzera mu maphunziro ake, luso lake, komanso chidziwitso chaubongo, anali wokonzeka kusintha moyo wake kuti ukhale wabwino ndikuwongolera ubale wake wozunza ndi chakudya.

Atapeza Chikhulupiriro cha Baha'i, Susan adayamba kusinkhasinkha. Tsopano amasinkhasinkha kwa mphindi 30 m’maŵa uliwonse monga mbali ya mwambo wake watsiku ndi tsiku. Mphindi yosintha moyo idabwera kwa iye m'mawa wina, "Ndilo tsiku lomwe ndimawerengera ngati chiyambi cha kupambana komwe ndili nako tsopano ndi chakudya," adatero. "Mawu oti 'chakudya chamzere chowala' adandifikira."

Kodi mizere yowala ya Susan ndi iti? Pali zinayi: palibe ufa, palibe shuga, kudya kokha pa chakudya, ndi kulamulira kuchuluka kwake. Wakhala akumamatira kwa zaka 13 ndipo adakhalabe ndi thupi lokulirapo-zinayi kwakanthawi kofanana. "Anthu amaganiza kuti anthu amawonda ngati ayesetsa mokwanira, koma nthawi zambiri sizikhala motalika; anthu amawapezanso." Koma sanapindulepo, ngakhale paundi imodzi. Umu ndi momwe.

Susan: Tsopano

Lamulo la ufa wopanda shuga kapena shuga

"Woyamba si shuga, konse," adatero. "Sindisuta mng'alu ndipo sindimamwa mowa ndipo sindidya shuga. Izi ndizomveka kwa mzere kwa ine." Zikumveka kwambiri, chabwino? Koma ndizomveka kwa katswiri wazamisala monga Susan. "Shuga ndi mankhwala, ndipo ubongo wanga umatanthauzira ngati mankhwala; imodzi ndi yochuluka, ndipo chikwi sichikwanira."

Ngati kusiya shuga kotheratu ndikumveka kosatha, tonthozedwa chifukwa cha kupambana kwa Susan. Adatiuza nkhani yokhudza momwe adayimitsira makeke abuluu tsiku lobadwa la mwana wake wamkazi pabwalo lamasewera, ndipo atapeza chisanu m'manja mwake, zidamveka ngati "spackle" kapena "pulasitiki," osati chakudya. Anali ndi yesero loyesa kunyambazira chisanu m'manja mwake, chifukwa sizinali zokondweretsa kwa iye, ndipo amayenda kutalika kwa bwalo la mpira paki kuti akafike pamalo pomwe amatha kusamba m'manja. Amapanganso toast yachi French Lachiwiri lililonse m'mawa kwa banja lake, asanatembenuke ndikudzipangira mbale ya oatmeal. Iye akulamulira kwathunthu ndipo kwathunthu muulamuliro tsopano.

"Nambala yachiwiri si ufa. Ndayesera kusiya shuga popanda kusiya ufa, koma mwadzidzidzi ndinawona zakudya zanga zomwe zimakhala ndi chow mein, potstickers, quesadillas, pasitala, mkate." Katswiri wa sayansi ya ubongo ku Susan adazindikiranso chitsanzo apa. "Ufa umagunda [ubongo] monga shuga amachitira ndikufafaniza zolandilira za dopamine." Zomwe zikutanthawuza, mwachidule, ndikuti ubongo wanu sudzakhala ndi zifukwa zoletsa kudya, chifukwa dongosolo lanu la mphotho silikugwira ntchito bwino (izi ndi zomwe zimachitika ndi mankhwala osokoneza bongo, nawonso - ubongo wanu umakhala wabwino ndipo pamapeto pake simungathe Imani).

"Shuga ndi ufa zili ngati mankhwala oyera a ufa; monga heroine, monga cocaine. Timatenga mkati mwa chomeracho ndikuyeretsa ndikukhala ufa wosalala; ndi njira yomweyo."

Zakudya ndi kuchuluka kwake

"Zakudya katatu patsiku popanda chilichonse pakati," atero a Susan. "Ndine wokonda kwambiri kudya zakudya zopanda pake, palibe zifukwa zambiri."

Susan adatiuza kuti, "Kulimbika ndikosakhazikika." "Ngati ndinu munthu yemwe ali ndi vuto ndi kulemera kwanu kapena chakudya chanu ndipo mumalimbana nazo nthawi zonse, ndi chimodzi mwazinthu zovuta kwambiri kuthana nazo." Adafotokozera kuti timapanga zisankho zambiri tsiku lililonse komanso kuti "simudzapambana ngati kudya kwanu kukupitilizabe kukhala ndi mwayi wosankha. Ngati mukuyesera kupanga zisankho zabwino tsiku lililonse, mwafa m'madzi. "

Chifukwa chake amangodya zakudya zake ngati akutsuka mano. "Zimveketseni bwino mukamadya komanso mukapanda kudya." Amakhala ndi oatmeal ndi zipatso zokhala ndi fulakesi ndi mtedza m'mawa. Adzakhala ndi burger wa veggie wokhala ndi ma veggies osakhazikika komanso mafuta pang'ono a coconut okhala ndi apulo yayikulu nkhomaliro. Chakudya chamadzulo amadya nsomba yokazinga, zipatso za ku brussels, ndi saladi wamkulu wokhala ndi mafuta a fulakesi, viniga wosasa, ndi yisiti yathanzi.

Kuphatikiza pa kusinthitsa zakudya izi ndikumangodya pakudya, Susan amamatira pamiyeso ndi kuchuluka kwake ndi sikelo yazakudya zadijito kapena lamulo "mbale imodzi, yopanda masekondi". Izi zokha zimamupangitsa kuti asamangoganizira za chakudya, osasiya malo olakwika.

Kulipira Patsogolo

"Ndinachita chidwi ndi kugwedezeka kwa mazunzo ndi mapemphero a kutaya mtima kwa anthu mamiliyoni ambiri omwe akukakamira kuyesera kuchepetsa thupi."

Anali wokonzeka kugawana zomwe adakumana nazo, maphunziro ake, ndi chidziwitso chosintha moyo ndi dziko lapansi.

Susan adadzipatsa mphamvu ndikusintha mkhalidwe wake kukhala katswiri wodziwika komanso wasayansi, wochita bizinesi bwino, mkazi, ndi amayi, zomwe amanyadira kwambiri. Tsopano akuthandiza ena ndi bizinesi yake, yomwe imatchedwa Bright Line Eating, pogwiritsa ntchito njira yake yozikidwa pa sayansi yothandizira anthu kuchepetsa thupi, kusiya zizolowezi zoipa, ndi kukhala athanzi mpaka kalekale.
