Cookies anyone....
Healthy this, healthy that...eat this, not that!! Today my husband and I saw a dietitian. The appointment was for my husband but our doctor ( did you catch "our") recommended that both of us need to attend because we are both responsible for who does the cooking in the house, and knowing I am not in the best of shape I didn't disagree. However, as a nurse I know and understand the the fundamentals of foods, and how the breakdown of foods works in the body....so I didn't go in with the best attitude! I can't say I disagreed at all what the dietitian was saying, but I think I was more embarrassed maybe because my husband and I resulted in having to see a dietitian...
After the appointment I heard what I knew what was I going to be told....but I can say she "the dietitian" never said stay away from, or avoid...but her words were " with modification"...so although my attitude wasn't the best I can't say it was a bad thing to do. My husband states that he learned a lot today and it was exactly what he needed. So, I guess all in all that is what matters the most!!
It's funny before getting married most people really only need to think of themselves...and they don't care what their friends are eating or what their cholesterol level, or risk for heart attack is..but when a person marries it changes! This person you marry is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with and just the thought of your best friend having a heart attack and possibly leaving this earth and leaving you alone! That thought alone makes me scared! Although this diet modification will be a struggle and will probably tend to be a struggle for awhile now, I know that I will try my best to help and be supportive for not only my own health but for my husband's as well..... I want to live a long life with my husband!
