here's a funny comment about eating properly. i lost so much weight from my treatments and surgery, i have been told to eat as much fatty foods as possible. last month i was given the deadline of december 11 to gain 10 pounds. try as i might, so far i only have reached half of that goal. i'm hoping thanksgiving will help me reach the other half.

this has been quite a life change for me because my family has a huge history of heart disease. i have been buying low fat/no cholesterol foods for years. now i'm eating hagen das daily. it's quite an adjustment, but a fun one.

throughout the past few months, i have had the worst diet in the world......but i am eating the foods that i can swallow easiest and which taste the best to me. someday the good foods will come back in, but until then i just rationalize it by saying that i just survived something huge and get to treat myself for a while.
