As many of you know, I had a heart attack(s) a few weeks ago which caused some life changing events such as changing my diet to a more healthy diet. It all sounds so easy to declare you will be going on a diet, but in acuality it’s very difficult to stay on a diet. I am very grateful to even have the opportunity to make a life changing decision to change my diet and eat better, but damn it’s hard to do. I eat my usual oatmeal in the morning with my cup of coffee so I have breakfast nailed down. But come lunch time, the difficulty begins. Today I was going to try some tuna fish. The question came to mind how would i eat it? I thought I could just put some tuna right on some saltine crackers (5) and be good to go. Even though I am supposed to limit my salt, I thought 5 crackers would be my limit. I opened the can, spread on some tuna fish on to the first saltine, and the taste drove me nuts. It tasted like the tin can it came out of…Gross!!!
So I don’t know if this has ever happened to you, but have you ever been through this scenario? I’m trying to eat right, trying to do good things. You would think friends and relatives could be more positive right? I’m having what I thought was a diet iced tea when so-and-so says “what? You are drinking that?” “That has this and that and definitely not good for you.” I am beginning to realize how the diet industry makes so much money. There is something wrong with just about everything we eat!
Quitting smoking was nothing for me. Finding what’s right to eat has become the real challenge. I’m making improvements daily. I am eating better. But I would just like to find a good diet I don’t have to stress and wonder about. The George Foreman grill is great to have. We have had some great meals from that. Wow, I just realized something. Due to me providing this link, I’m thinking I have found a great place for some potential recipes I might can use.
So in summation, the life style change and transition for me is a little bit awkward. No longer can I just eat whatever I feel like whenever. I have to be very choosy now. My heart depends on it. If any of y9ou have any good ideas or suggestions here, please feel free to let me know. I would appreciate any and all comments that you would have.
