Matt, I think people generally thought that of me. That I was healthy but a bit of a hypochondriac being obsessed with eating healthy.
I actually got sick with a normal lifestyle. Not sure why, probably stuff like stress, not good at dealing with emotions, too high iron levels (genetic disorder caused it). Anyway, I never cared about health and though I was a superhuman that didnt need to eat healthy. I could eat what I wanted without gaining weight. On a lazy day I would wake up, open a drawer under my bed and take out the cookies, chocolates and chips for breakfast.
University was really easy for me, I studied very little but passed my exams. Still at a certain moment I was so fatiqued, always feeling like crap, that I couldnt even manage that. I stayed in bed more that half of the day, every day. And that at age 21 :/. Docters couldnt help me, my blood levels were a bit off here and there but noting clinically off. That is when I decided to get healthy on my own. Becoming a health nut actually made me healthier :). It probably took longer than needed because of few unproductive health practices, but that was all part of the journey. Not really healthy yet but doing loads better :).
