You ARE what you EAT

Life as I once knew it is no more! I "WAS" what "I ATE", hence... HEART ATTACK!

NOW it is Low Fat, Low Sodium, No Salt... the list just goes on and on. The funny thing about it is, one would think that all of these things being "taken away" would be hard. Amazingly, someone telling you that you had a Heart Attack... well it makes the choices a bit easier. The food seems to taste good as well. My husband has ALWAYS told me, it is MIND OVER MATTER! God, now I have to tell him once again that he is Right...

Here is the fridge with all the good stuff in it. However, just since I took this picture, I see so many things STILL wrong with it. The Milk is WHOLE (too much fat), the Sodas there in the back, they might be DIET/CAFFEINE FREE, but there is soooooooo much SODIUM in just one small can. I haven't had a soda in a week now... ahhhhh

Here I get to share with you how much I am LOVED. Trust me when I say you would have NEVER found this stuff in my old pantry! Really, NEVER! But thanks to all those that think I am worth having around, instead of flowers I got FOOD, GOOD FOOD, FOOD THAT IS GOOD FOR THE HEART! Rex and Carmel showed up with bags of groceries, and then my sister Tammy came with good treats. The funny thing is, she is still writing how much of what I need each day on the tops of everything... and with the help of my GREAT FRIEND CARMEL, I am learning more and more about label reading, ingredients and just the "ART" of knowing what you eat... THANKS!
I beg anyone who has ideas about COOKING??? DINNERS???? TREATS????? Please, oh please send my way!!! I have such a brain block about food and what to fix. That is what got me where I am. So please, send me anything that you find, read, made up yourself...
