Something in my Crawl….

So last night, I talked to some people who I thought were my friends about my grocery bill, and the injustice of having to pay more to eat healthier as opposed to paying less, and having all these things in your food that contribute to so many diseases and malities. And we’re talking about just in the produce section alone.  And then of course is the outbreak of the E. Coli in the romaine lettuce which is probably healthier for you than regular lettuce (though I have also heard that lettuce has very little nutritional value for you. I don’t remember where I heard that, but it’s kinda stuck with me.

Anyway, I’ve digressed.  So I have this one friend in my RPG group that I call Momfriend.  I used to call her that as a term of endearment. Now I say it kinda sarcastically, and with some annoyance.  So I told her last night about what was going on with my health, and my probable and eventual diagnosis of Diabetes.  I had decided to start eating as if I had already been diagnosed.  It wouldn’t hurt, at the very least. But this chick was all, “what makes you think you have diabetes” and “Did the doctor put you on meds” and things like that. And honestly, she talks to me like I’m a child most of the time. So annoying.

I don’t need so many cooks in the kitchen just to eat healthy. I am going ot have to do this slow and steady. I’ve witnessed the effects of a sudden diet change  before It’s not fun, and it’s definitely not pretty.  And i feel like sometimes she really does overstep her bounds. Sometimes it’s okay, and the advice is appreciated, but when she words it the way she did last night, it makes me feel like a child instead of the 37-year-old adult I am. Ugh.

The end of the conversation was me saying that only the doctor can tell me what is working and what isn’t since I’m not a medical professional. And even though I think Momfriend  is or was in the medical field at one time, she doesn’t know my full history. That’s for my doctors to deal with.  Anyway.  I ended up going to bed, and i thought I was over it, but I guess I’m not.  I have decided not to talk to anyone in that particular chat about my health issues anymore.
