My annual

Yesterday was my annual with my GYN to get swabbed between my cheeks. Not my favorite time of the year but it had been two years and was overdue. Before my swab the NP/C Ms. Caroline did my vital and my weight and she left out the room and came back with my chart and said, Ms Miller let me get your weight again just to be sure and I got back off the table like what now. And I stepped back on the scale and it was still in the two fifty seven range and she said yes it is right in her thick African accent and the she said Ms Miller I am proud of you, you have lost a total of eleven pounds, what have you been doing and I said cut out breads and sweets and she said it is working for you keep it up, I had to double check to be sure and I felt good and pleased as well.

It has not been an easy sacrifice, I love bread and sweets and I couldn't give them up easily, but the sugar was causing heart palpitations and bread constipates me something terrible and neither have any nutritional value at all other than tasting good and I have learned my way around with taste, I have increased my veggies as I go along but its hard when you work all day long a candy bar and a bag of chips along with a egg sandwich was my meal or a tomato and lettuce sandwich with onions and some mayo, that's yummy or a boca burger. I love the veggie burgers at Burger King and the Veggie subs from Subway, but the bread don't seem to like me.

I didn't go cold turkey I have been cutting back for over a year now and I'm finally at a point where if I'm hungry I want go to a slice of bread. I have my moments and the taste for something sweet hits my mouth hard and I try to ignore it and move on to something else. I remember what a dear lady once said. It can't get in your mouth if you don't put it there, but addictions are not that easy, I still have a ways to go and need to cut back on my beer intake but I try not to beat myself down when I over indulge...
