growing old. Dealing with diabetes, high cholesterol and gout is not for the faint of heart. Have to watch everything. Had to cut out all carbs , sugars and double meds. Should help me lose weight is the bright side. Plus I get to continue to play the game.
I agree. Getting older brings a lot of challenges and we have to adapt the way we eat, exercise, etc. It is important to make the changes because being able to continue playing the game is important.
There are good upsides! Hope you can keep playing the game a long time!

Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Awesome! This will keep you around for a while. I will skip posting the sweets for a few months to cut down on the "Temptations". Best to you and your healthy diet.
Getting old is not fun some days but it beats the alternative I imagine.
Bon Temps!!
That's a nice gesture, but then again I can't skip going grocery shopping, and the very first thing I cross going in the store is the bread and pastries...Very, Very Tempting...Quote:

I believe we should mainly eat like this for our health but I also believe in moderation for other things. I’ve changed my diet this last year and have lost 35 lbs so far. I’m trying to play the game as long as I can for my girls.
Good for you Dave. Growing old certainly isn't for the faint of heart. I am trying to find the fine line between happiness in the present and longevity for the future. Certainly a tight rope walk. I certainly spend more time at work than I do anything else. Especially hard when you can crank up some cooking gear and make things you like to eat.
I have to say that I’m in the same boat. More issues then I Like to talk about. When I was sick last year I basically couldn’t eat. I went into it at 248 and came out at 203. I like the results but the method I don’t recommend. The plus side is my A1c came down 7 points to 6.2. Getting old ain’t for sissies but it’s the cards we’re dealt and we have to play the hand. We’re supposed to be the smart ones but sometimes I wonder. I eat much less than I used to. Moderation and portion control make things easier to deal with. You can eat many things but you can’t have much of it. Take joy in that. Merry Christmas everyone, and don’t eat too much.
I love fire :Fire
but man do I pay a heavy price for tying to eat it now ...
Love me some food others can't even think about eating ....
pure fire HOT stuff , them days are sadly over though ......
if I eat EVEN a bit too spicy now , it eats on me in return ...
I feel your pain bro :highfive
So far no issues with spicy myself. Love me some spicy foods, but not insane hot. I do like to taste it….:Rofl
My sweet heart introduced me to Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning Then I found it in "More Spice". I introduced her to Fiesta brand Fajita seasoning. Both go on almost everything as ell as cayenne pepper. Not to much, but enough to arm you up a bit, not burn you up. Used to love me some extra hot, toenail sweatn' hot, but just can't do that no more...
Cayenne , tabasco pepper , jalapeno all okay. Black pepper is bad for you. Stay away from it as much as you can. I don't think you can digest it, only pass it. If it sticks to your intestines it can cause problems . I know this personally.
Doctor has “ordered” me to do the same. Not fun at all….
