Food !

Does anyone else have the same problem as I?

I find it very difficult, and more expensive, to eat a proper diet. All of my favorite foods are not necessarily the best things to be eating. That's not to say that I don't like good food, and food that is good for you. But I have a tendency to eat too many fatty foods and foods high in carbohydrates. And, .... for a diabetic, I like, and eat, too many sweet things.

I like doughnuts, pastries, breads and butter. Pastas, biscuits, popcorn (with butter and salt, of course), hamburgers and all sorts of snack foods (commonly referred to as "Junk Food"). Let's don't forget Pancakes, French Toast, Crepes, waffles and a myriad of other things best left alone. Let's, also, not forget Taco Bell!

Now, ... I like the good stuff,.... tomatoes, beans of all kinds, multiple varieties of peas, carrots, celery, broccoli, squash, Fish, salads with vinegar & oil for dressing. Then there's corn (especially boiled or steamed on the cob), stewed potatoes and fresh fruits galore.
But for some reason these things seem to elude my table, ... at least the majority of the time.

So, ... why is it that I can't seem to eat the right stuff instead of the wrong stuff?

I learned, years ago, that a properly balanced diet combined with daily exercise caused me to lose weight and feel better.

Will power is a strange thing. We can be so determined in some areas of our life and so relaxed about the things that are the most important.

Think I'll go eat a banana.
