I’ve had several people criticize me lately, saying I don’t eat well enough or that I don’t take my health seriously enough. Now I grant you, I should get more exercise than I do currently, but I think overall, I take my health pretty seriously.
In my defense, from CalorieKing, here is my average daily food intake for the past year.
Now granted, I didn’t enter what I ate every single day, but I did do it fairly regularly for several months, and very honestly. Although I haven’t entered it as religiously lately, I did enter what I ate for the past few days, and it’s in line with the averages.
As you can see, it’s a fairly high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar, low-sodium diet, while still maintaining plenty of calories and a healthy proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
I am also within 5 pounds of my ideal weight.
Of course, none of that seems to matter, since I have developed gall bladder issues, I’m viewed as a failure. It’s always the negative things people point out, never the positives.
It’s one of the things I don’t like about doctors – they are quick to point out faults and problems, but seldom do they mention the things you are doing *right* – they always focus on the negative, because healthy people don’t interest them.
Whoever told you that you don’t eat right obviously doesn’t know what they are talking about and should keep quiet. I know from hanging out with you on a constant basis that your overall diet is extremely healthy. Everyone has weekends where they indulge. This is normal. I should eat like you do. I’d probably drop a lot of this weight if I did! 🙂
I *did* walk to the nursing parking lot today from work! Even though I was tired after my shift, I know it’s the only exercise I’ll get today. I’m going to try to do that every day, unless it’s raining buckets or something. 🙂
Hey, you eat a helluva lot more healthy than I do! Other people are ignorant. I’d say the gall bladder thing is probably genetic.
