Focus On Life Week 22~Foodie

Since February I've completely changed my eating habits.  I became violently ill and ended up going to the ER one frozen night and was informed I have 2 rather large gallstones.  I was in ER for 5 hours and accrued a $2500 bill, thank you very much. 

I don't have health insurance.  And no, the hospital would not work with me.

I digress....

I met with a surgeon 2 days after to discuss my options.  Of course surgery is ideal but where would I cough up almost 20 grand???

Not gonna happen.

My recourse, according to the doc, was to go fat free.  So that is what I am doing.  I read the labels, cut out all red meat, which wasn't hard because I didn't eat much meat anyway, no cheese or dairy products or very little.  No fried foods, which I didn't eat anyway and no oils, dressings, etc, which I also never ate.  But the cheese was hard to give up.  On the upside, I've been maintaining my health (such as it is) and I've lost 20 pounds!!!!  I find it amazing, really. 

It really hasn't been hard, I've even found some snacks that are very low in fat, there is also low fat gelato and I find if I just check the lables I can find many things that are low fat.  I even found some ice cream bars that are only 2 grams of fat per bar.  Whoohoo!  That made my day when I found those!  lol...

But I really really really miss pizza.  To think I haven't had any since February when I used to have it once a week, really boggles my mind.  Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to smell it, if I would really crave some then?? 

I dunno...

So right now in my life food isn't a big deal anymore.  Not sure if it ever really was.  Instead of posting a photo of some food I'm going to post a pic of a place setting I did a couple winters ago when I was bored one day (when you live alone and don't know anyone, you find things to amuse yourself, lol).

Have a great week and stay safe.
