To know or not to know.....

My husband called me last Saturday & told me that he was at the JL family medical clinic getting his cholesterol screening done. The next thing I know, my Aunt Lillie was yelling at me over the phone to get down there & get tested as well. Since I hadn't eaten yet, I thought what the heck, might as well go & get it checked.
I was working in Covington Va on Tuesday, when my husband called & told me that the results were in & not to eat anything else until I heard what he had to say.
Apparently, I have a very high triglyceride number, it was 723. I am writing this in hopes that it will keep me motivated to get it down. In case you don't know, it should be under 200.
What a shock. I know that I pretty much eat what I want to, but I never really thought that my health was in jeopardy. So I have been eating nothing but fruit, veggies & boiled chicken ever since. It's absolutely depressing. I don't mind to admit that I love to eat!!
However, I have decided that it's either change my food choices, or go on meds for the rest of my life. I have chosen to watch my intake.
Ahhhhh, to know or not to know.. I admit that I am thankful I found out & I guess that my aunt & uncle probably saved my life, but at the same time, I stress about eating anything. I cringe when I think of food now. I guess that I'm scared that if I put just one wrong thing in my mouth, I could spontaneously combust!!! lol lol
I can admit that I've been doing pretty well with eating different though. I thought I would miss all the potato chips, cookies, & beef jerky that I have been inhaling, but I am feeling better.
My one vice that has been the most difficult has been Coca Cola!!! I love Coca Cola!!!
I have been drinking water & tea, but it's just not the same. Jimmy keeps telling me that it will get easier, & has been extremely supportive. He tells me that he wants to keep me around a little while longer. (I wonder if it's because he probably wouldn't have any clean underware if I didn't lol lol lo lol lol lol)
Look out Jive!! I'm gonna look different the next time you see me!!!!!
