Food was a rarity at the time of Lucy’s adolescence in Guyana. Because of this, she overindulged in American food upon coming to America.
I- immediately- like I was eating everyting I want. Ouh you should say dat. I gained weight when I got here. Because I went crazy- I went crazy eating fried chicken. Every day I want half fried chicken and lots of ketchup. It was like- ahh my god I feel like I’m in heaven. Because in Guyana you barely have food. So every day dad- every Friday actually, dad when he gets his pay, he would buy half fried chicken – me and dad and sherry was here first – and we enjai our fried chicken oh my god. And then we does go to McDonald’s and Sherry will have the big mac and this- this French fries and this milkshake. We all gained weight. I didn’t realize wah it was doing. And chocolate I was going crazy about chocolate. Eating- and we were eating like crazy. Until we start gaining weight.
