As a lot of people I know and probably some I don't know - I have not always been happy with my weight. So, when this all started - general consensus was - well, I'll lose some weight being on chemo...right?? Ahhahahahaaaa - WRONG!! I believe I've gained a few pounds - but hey, I've been told - I look good!! So, here's my thought - ya know that Atkins diet - the high protein, low carb diet?? I think that might be beneficial to me!! I can't really exercise - not that I don't want to - I would love to be able to - I can't - I still have issues breathing when I walk down the hall - so that's out BUT - I can eat!!!! So I think I might try that - once all the cookies are out of the house - and the Pop tarts - I just might try to eat better!!
Also, the high protein will be good for me, I need it to boost my blood and it says it helps with energy - so, I'll give it a try :)
And with all this time on my hands - I'll have time to cook - really cook!! I may not feel like it but I think I can pull this one off - It might even help the rest of the family eat better too - I guess I have to look at and try to find the bright side of cancer and all the things that its taking away from me - like my independence - but that's another post :)
