In an attempt to forestall my falling over from a heart attack, or some similar result of my life long eating of junk food, I have changed a few things in my diet.

Cut the salt. No biggie. Or so I thought. EVERYTHING processed has salt in it. And a lot of it.

Cut the sugar. Easier. Or, again, so I thought. I like sugar. I like sugar a lot. Sugar tastes good. Sugar makes me happy. Sugar has also contributed to my bulk. Why does that which we love has the power to do so much harm to us?

Sigh.

Exit Snickers, enter fruit. Bananas, grapes, cherries. Oh, and nuts. Lots and lots of nuts. Unsalted of course. Dark cocoa almonds.

Exit pizza, burgers, any fast food…though I did cruise through a Chik-Fil-A the other day and got chicken strips.

Sunflower seeds, almonds, trail mix. Damn, it sucks getting old.

Cravings are killing me. I salivate at pizza commercials. I don’t even LIKE Domino pizza, and I still have pangs when their commercial comes on. Papa John’s is about the only pizza chain that I could stomach….pun intended….and I hate watching their commercials.

Burger King, Taco Bell. Good bye.

*sigh*
