Yes, I Know That I Don't Always Eat Healthy

Tweet

I've been nothing but transparent about both my good eating habits as well as my bad eating habits over the years. Last year I lost 30 pounds in six months and didn't eat a single bite of chocolate. That was good. Two years before that I ate the Carnivore Diet (high protein/low carb, mostly all meat) and successfully lowered all of my cholesterol, A1C, inflammation, etc. No, I don't eat vegetables and no I don't eat fruit. Most fruit has too much sugar in it and most fruit I'm allergic to. I'm allergic to lettuce now too. I'm also a picky eater. So when you put all those factors together, you see that eating is not an easy chore for me. The truth is that I don't like food. I truly don't. And I don't get hungry. I just "snack" or "graze" throughout the day. That is a definite problem and it's a constant struggle for me. So yeah, right now I'm eating too much chocolate. I know that. I've said that. I also said that I stopped eating it as of yesterday. That's two days now without chocolate. That's a very good start. I also said that June 18th last year was the date that I started eating healthy again, so it was the same date this year that I am getting back on track. I'm not perfect. I get on track, I get off track. I'm human. I generally am on track more than I'm off track. That's all I can ask for. Somehow during my trip over the Christmas and New Year's Holiday to India and Nepal I let chocolate get back into my diet and I wasn't ready to work on it until yesterday. Please don't lecture me on moderation. I'm an all-or-nothing kind of girl. If I have a weakness like chocolate, I have to avoid it altogether or else I'll eat it exclusively. That's how I'm wired. You wouldn't lecture a junkie to smoke less weed; you'd tell them to not smoke weed at all. So yes, I appreciate your concerns about my bad eating habits and my health. I have an addiction and addictions are hard to beat. I am working on it. I'm a work in progress. So I appreciate your celebrating my wins with me but please don't beat me up too hard when I fall. I'm trying. My doctor has asked me to go on a High Protein Diet, which again is the one you all chastise me about - the Carnivore Diet, but it works for me and my lab tests are excellent when I eat all protein all the time. So that's what I'm going to do. I'll post weekly on my progress.
