What To Eat

Hello, all. What to eat, that's the question. Shakespeare could have had a ball with that one, or has he? In the developed world, there are so many things to eat, it makes my head spin, when I really put my mind to it, and think about what I have on hand. I can eat cereal, bread, vegetables, cake, eggs, meat, fish, chicken, anything pretty much at all, even if it means a trip to the nearest shop. For sure, some of these things need cooking, and I am lazy, but what the hell? I'm sure I can find something really fatty and sweet, if I genuinely look. Nah, too much trouble, I'll settle for these fruit pieces and some cereal. Hey, who put those fresh fruit pieces in the fridge? I don't think I did. Oh, well, they'll do anyway. The Blood Test was four point six this morning and I feel good, so let's not wreck this lovely feeling just yet, there's plenty of time to really do so, if I want to.
It's amazing, when one feels in control, how good that makes the world feel. Of course, if one has a self destruct button like I have, and like to play with it, much like Russian Roulette, it's easy to ruin the mood. But today, I feel like following this good feeling for as long as I can. I know eating wrongly will blow my day right out of the water. I feel oogy, and like the flu rushed in and hit me like a train. Limbs are heavy, stomach has glue in it, head is full of paper, and I do not feel on top of my game. And, I am cranky, all from eating the wrong thing. Not worth it. I never feel good, if I haven't eaten properly for breakfast and it is really so easy. The fruit pieces, healthy cereal, no sweat. These days, I never use milk, I've always hated it, but there are ways around the calcium hangup. One of my snacks in the day is a slice of cheese, or some yoghurt, or I cook with milk, so no problem. I use skim anyway, or milk with added calcium, so that takes care of that.
It really is easy to eat healthily even if one is a diabetic sufferer. There's a world of things to try on the Internet. Years ago, when I started nursing, the diets available for diabetics then would have made me shoot myself. Bland, revolting food, right? Yes, but it was how it was cooked and served, not the food itself. Make use of the right herbs and spices, and everything tastes good. One doesn't have to load one's food with salt, or fatty things, do a little research. There are other things to add that are natural and help the food assume wonderful tastes, even if it is almost tasteless to start with.
