Since Dyl's Diabetes stuff last July, our family has gone through a complete change in eating habits. Dyl's glucose levels haven't had any spikes since then, I have dropped 65 pounds, Dawson and Emma have adjusted really well, and Dave................. is miserable.
He is an incredible example to the kids, puts on a happy face, and eats whatever whole food, high fiber, low sugar, healthy stuff that I make, but every once in a while, I get little reminders of how hard this is for him, and how much he misses his old life. See above.
This particular ploy may have worked, if when I heard the announcement for the scout drive, I hadn't turned right to him and expressed my relief in what to do with all our "white" food, Chef Boyardee, and other unhealthy pantry items, leftover from our pre-health issue life. (yes, I was planning on giving our unhealthy food to the poor. Judge me if you will.)
He will thank me one day when he is a hundred and ten, and still kicking.
65 lbs?? Holy hanna girl,way to go! Share that eating plan with me! And I'm sorry about Dyl, I didn't know that has to be hard. Take care Lins, love you. xo
