I hate to shop
don't like cooking or doing the dishes
but I do love to eat
over the past so many years it's mostly been fast food
or some sort of take out
eating in the cafeteria at work
always sweets
now that I have the time
that has to change
today is day 2 of low carb eating
not no carb
just eliminating added sugar
using fruit as my sweets
I've committed myself to 8 weeks
then will evaluate my progress
first thing I did the other day was a big grocery shop
my cupboards were bare
now they are not full
but full enough of healthy foods
to keep my blood sugar in line
the fridge is even better
fruit and veggies I will eat
chicken breasts galore, packed in the freezer for easy use
a little beef, a little Canadian bacon
will have to go back for ingredients for
the chipotle copy cat recipes
so much less sodium then from the restaurant
hard to read, sorry it won't enlarge more
basically going with berries and apples fresh
others when in season
I haven't taken care of myself in so long
this is a good start

Why the hell is it the last person we take care of is ourselves?
My eating habits changed drastically overnight...truly. When the doctor said he wanted to put me on cholesterol pills I told him "NO". I no longer ate red meat but would eat fish, boneless skinless chicken. Bagels and cream cheese was my morning breakfast and changed that to steel cut oatmeal. My variance from steel cut is the old fashioned just for a change or maybe a bowl of Cheerios with fruit. Candy and sweets was easy for me to give up.
It took a while to lose weight but it was a healthy way and stayed off. Do I miss some things previously on my diet? You bet, but I won't go back and am not on cholesterol pills either.
You're off to a good start, Kelley. It's not easy ~ just take it one meal at a time. Good luck!
Hugs :)

I am glad you are about yourself and starting with your diet and feeling better is always a good mood booster too. I eat mostly healthy foods with my diet and lots of oatmeal with my cookies. You would be surprised to find that you can make cookies without sugar once you get used to not having it. I use apples for me, but raisins are a good sweetener for oatmeal.
