i love sweden, but one of the big downsides of living in host families all year is i generally don’t get input into what food we eat.
at home i could go shopping with my mom and pick up all the produce and healthy stuff i wanted, because she never really minded the price since it was going towards our health. here, since produce is imported from south america, it’s expensive and i feel bad asking my host family to buy lots of fresh veggies and such when they usually don’t.
i can tell that it’s not been too good for me. my nails and hair look shabby and are generally weaker, i have less energy, am often lethargic, and it’s harder to lose weight.
i am so grateful to all my host families for the kindness they’ve shown me. don’t get me wrong. i love them to pieces. but i’m also really excited to go home and start eating super healthy again.
