Kombucha Saved Me from Bedbugs!
Lately I've been gaining a lot of weight. At least 10 pounds because I let myself loose once again by eating unhealthy junk foods and I'm not on a real vegetarian diet because I eat whatever my mom cooks for me, not wanting to be difficult and annoy her. She was annoyed with me in the past for going on a vegan diet. She didn't really like the food I was eating. So that means I've been eating chicken for sometime. I don't like meat, but I eat it to make her happy. She said that I don't have a reason for not eating meat. I actually have a reason, but I would rather keep it to myself and not tell anyone. So yesterday morning, I bought a bottle of Kombucha because the health benefits includes appetite/weight control + other benefits. I put it in my bag because I was in a hurry to get to work on time, but when I was there on time, the owner wasn't there yet. I sat down, and took out my Kombucha drink and it spilled out from the seal because it was a carbonated drink, it started to spill out from the top even though I didn't open it yet. It already spilled in my bag. I took all my stuff out of my bag, and found over 6 bedbugs living in my bag! It was a nightmare for me because I've been bitten by bedbugs practically every night! I also noticed that my bag was a place for them to lay eggs. Later on, I called my mom and told her about what happened and she said to throw the bag away. I wasn't sad or reluctant even though I had my bag for over 7 years. It was time for it to go if bedbugs could live in there, that bag must be ancient too. Kombucha saved me! If it wasn't for the drink spilling in my bag, I would still get bitten by bedbugs until the end of this year! I've been searching for the problem anyway. They followed me to the theatre and bite me while I watch a movie. That's why I noticed that every screening I attend, my hands itch/hurt like crazy. I had my bag on my lap all the time.

Kombucha is going to be my favorite drink from now on. Every Saturday morning at work, I get bored and tend to find myself something unhealthy to eat. Sometimes I can't control myself because work is very boring and not a lot of customers come by. But I finally found the right alternative! Kombucha is what I want! A non-sugary/beneficial drink/tastes good and helps me to not crave sweets and carbs. I've been having trouble staying away from carbs because bread is my favorite snack. If I didn't have Kombucha, I'd be drinking Thai Iced Tea, which is made of tea and white sugar. Kombucha is only 30 calories. I'll probably have Kombucha once a week, since it's a pretty expensive drink. I don't have a lot of money so I can't drink it all the time. It's not that expensive, but for a student like me, I can't buy it all the time.
