Sugar Hater Me


Kaycee

674 views

There is nothing worse than a drop of rain (it was a big drop) in the middle of the night to remind me that I have washing on the line! And then, this morning, my son, the big 6 footer can’t find any jeans. Guess where they are? On the line!

I wake up this morning feeling like a truck has run me over. I only had a small glass of red wine. Usually not a problem. But then the sugar hater me, indulged in 2 cans of orange fizzy. How could I do that? That was easy. It might be the sugar buzz making me feel hung over, but I did feel a bit rough during the night. I will deal to that last can of fizzy quite ceremoniously later on, maybe after I get out of bed.

 

At work yesterday, a fellow colleague commented that I must have half my pantry at work, as I have pottles of this and that. Ha ha ha. Well it is a bit hard to spread my crackers before work, they go soft, so I usually bring it all in along with my lactose free milk. I just so hate making my lunch in the morning. I try to use as little preparation as possible for foods, or else it could be an all day thing, and I need to work, and have time to read this forum. So it is either left overs or crackers. Just think I will have to get into making salads soon when it gets hotter. They take just about as long to make, as to eat.

 

And then a couple of other workmates come to me with their food issues. One who can identify with coeliac and was wondering whether she has it, but the tests came back negative. But there could be a chance, I did say there could always be a false negative. The other was questioning me about fibre and how to get more. Wrong person to ask I am, as it is hard for me to eat a lot of fibre, (do I need much?) but I do know where to get it, so I try to help her. Do they see me as a bit of a health guru, which is so totally not who I really am. Once I used to eat anything I wanted, just worrying a little bit that there might be a bit too much fat in it, but not overly concerned. But now fat and sugar and gluten are dirty words for me. Someone said, with what I eat, I will be fading away soon. I wish it was that easy, so far, not fading away. But I do think my tum is not as big, that is until I eat or drink milk, when it becomes a bit bloated, and hey, my jeans aren’t quite as comfy.

 

Later, much later today. We went down town, and it has been awfully wet all day. Yuck, and it is still raining. I bumped into someone I hadn’t seen for ages, and she kept going on about me having lost weight. That made me feel so wonderful, as I haven’t lost any for nearly two years! She was telling me that she has diabetes. I know which disease I would rather have, and that would be coeliac, as I think in the long run it is easier to manage, but I guess it is harder than others, because one little slip up and then I will be crook. That is why I have to be so vigilant with what I eat and unfortunately, drink.

 

Still life is great and I am happy. I feel the fog is finally lifting and getting on top of everything.
