There are lots of good questions today. I’ll try to get caught up on the daily word prompts tomorrow, and my recipe list for last month

I could eat pasta all day, every day. Also, I could really use your dietary restrictions instead of my own, haha!

I’m the same with pasta! I am learning to eat less of it and more fibre because I have had two colonoscopies with polyps removed both times. I can’t think of anything more horrible than colon cancer, but here I am at high risk for it. Nothing like a health scare to encourage better behaviour - an app to help me track my nutrition is really helpful too.

I was also told to increase my fibre intake due to my GI problems. I have only had pasta once since my hospital episode. It is sad for my taste buds, but you are correct. Health scares are the best motivators. It's what convinced my father to stop being an alcoholic. After over 20+ years of drinking, he quit cold turkey.

Good for him! That is really tough - there is a strong physical element to addiction, not just the mental challenges for those of us dealing with pasta withdrawal.

It's so true. I don't know many people that can do that, but I am very happy he was one of them. He has liver cirrhosis & I feared how bad it would get if he did struggle with quitting.
