Talking about weaknesses is always something that can be difficult because it is a topic that covers many parts that are sometimes very personal and about which people do not feel very encouraged to talk, to share.

So, I think it is a topic that is very delicate and very personal.

I am going to talk to you about my weak point, which has always been food.

Well, in addition to other weak points that I am not going to share here because I don't want my enemies to know it and find myself vulnerable to possible attacks because that's something I've always learned from Sun Tzu's Art of War.

So, I am always very careful not to show my vulnerabilities so that the enemy does not have elements and know where to attack me, where it hurts me the most, but I can talk with peace of mind about this weak point that is food.

For many years I have had a great preference for eating for different reasons, out of anxiety, for the simple pleasure of tasting different foods.

Throughout all these years I have had the fortune of being a chef and learning with people who are specialized in this.

For many years, I remember that around the years 97 to 2005, I worked in a fast food chain that was dedicated to Italian food.

Since 18 months I found myself facing my greatest weakness, food, and of course working at a fast food chain and having virtually unlimited access to the food because I was tempted all the time to pinch and taste each one of the things I had to prepare.

Also, imagine that it was a requirement to taste the food to see if it was in order.

His point, because the chef who came from Mexico to train and educate me on how to make the different dishes, I had a grade to rate whether the food was optimal or not, and then one had to try the foods, the lasagnas and the different sauces to spaghetti that we prepared to see if they were the right point.

They had to have a level of acidity in some cases and they had to have a level of sugar in other cases, and also on other occasions it was important, for example, to measure the pH that I had water or food after it was prepared, so that was my weakness and because of that weakness it brought me other problems such as being overweight and the current problem of circulation in my legs, since I like to eat a lot and enjoy these meals.

Because of this weakness towards food, my anxiety also drained of all the childhood and adolescence traumas that were difficult and added to that living in a country that is in a serious financial crisis, and if you also add to that the not having enough resources to take care of health problems that I have currently.

That produces great anxiety and through my weak point, which is food, I try to satisfy it, so currently I do my best to work and carry this food problem is the best I can, but unfortunately there are things that cannot be corrected so easily.

Because by not having the amount of financial resources to be able to buy the foods I need, like vegetables and other things that are really very expensive and which I cannot cover, because apart from that I do not receive the necessary rewards in hive that allow me to pay for those foods that I need so much.

For a series of vegetables and a series of things that I need to buy and that if I buy them with the rewards I earn here in hive I will stay unable to pay for basic services, such as internet and electricity that I need to be able to live and that allow me to maintain the minimum pace of life that I lead.

And well, I think that we must all work to improve the elimination of these weak points that we have because it is something important in my case, to the extent that I can, I always try to control the anxiety that I have.

This weak spot when it comes to food, but it's something that really costs me a lot to control and it is something that, in addition to being a weak point, is extremely pleasant, to enjoy some delicious spaghetti or a delicious sandwich with chicken and meat.

Let's really admit that it is a delight for everyone.

And this has been my participation for the topic of the week in hive learners about "the weak point".
