I so want to make this
Found out from the doc that I have high cholesterol. This is the doc that can't draw my blood to save her life, and ended up taking it out of the top of my hand, resulting in several pinpricks and a bruised top of my hand. They told me to stop eating fast food and they wanted to see my in four months. Aside from a pizza I ordered about a week ago when I had to work some mandatory overtime, I can't tell you the last time I ate true fast food (grabbing a carne asada taco from a local taqueria doesn't really seems like it should count). I told them I would find a different doctor and have the send the results over to her and deal with my cholesterol that way; I'm really tired of this doctor's inability to draw blood.
So, I have to go on a low cholesterol diet, and this is depressing the heck out of me. Those who know me, especially in real life, know I'm a pretty obsessive foodie. I take a great deal of pleasure in eating. While I don't eat fried foods that often, I love heading up to Ruby's on the Square on Sunday for fried chicken or J&J's for a slice of pizza. I hate eating boneless skinless chicken breasts. I'm at a slight loss of what to cut out from my already fairly healthy eating habits without feeling like I'm completely denying myself (it's especially annoying on top of the stop smoking battle, which has already left me in a state of feeling like I am denying myself constantly). Also, there is a little of that feeling of "Why me???" I'm already slender; I don't want to get any skinnier, and I've never been on a diet in my life. Well, I was a vegetarian for a few years, but I at least didn't have to worry about eating fried foods or cheese. Heck, even vegans get to eat fried foods.
Oh well. Breakfast today was nice and healthy - quickie guacamole with lemon juice and garlic on whole wheat bagel with a handful of grape tomatoes and the ever present black coffee.
