What did you eat today?

Just ignore diabetes. It's fake news.Quote: billryanFor some reason, the diabetic program offers mostly frozen food. I agree eating it every day is a bit much, but I find a day on, a day off works well for me. It's helped me in my slow journey towards 300. $150 a month is much more manageable than $300 for the everyday program. Today is an off day. Bought a large Pizza Hut pie, with meatballs and green peppers on sale for $5.99. Had four slices for lunch and will have four more for dinner. Both with huge amounts of ice water. Total cost for lunch and dinner- $6. Tomorrow is a NS day. Chocolate Muffin for Breakfast, a few grapes and slices of swiss cheese for snack, ravioli for lunch, turkey and stuffing for dinner. That leaves me two snacks. Might use one for a glass of milk, and the other will be a mystery reach into the snack box to see what I pull out.

I haven't had fruit in 40 years and the only vegetables I eat are the bad ones (corn and potatos).

*OK I confess I've never tried this before and thought it would blow minds. However, my new thing is to try different things out there now that can be eaten raw. Will let you know soon if it tastes good.

it's in the trash now. Bad choice for eating raw. Indication was to use it in a smoothie or whatever, thought it might be ok raw. Like trying to eat snot, plus hard to peel, and too expensive

Breakfast was nuked fragment of yellow pepper and nuked fragment of green pepper with large spoonful of peanut butter. Washed down with coffee . please note that despite spell check, the peppers were nuked rather than naked.
MoW arrived. Spaghetti with meat sauce, zucchini chocolate chip cookies, cranberry juice. Delivery volunteer had probably not even walked the sixteen feet to the building's front door before I had finished it despite having. Just consumed enough peanut butter to choke a horse.

I recently had a medical procedure with anesthesia and it has caused me to lose much of my sense of taste. It is so strange to eat things that you know you like but it is not satisfying at all when you can't taste it.
Last night was pistachios for dinner. I ate way too many as they had no taste so I kept eating them waiting for some satisfaction.
