I've been looking at my diet today and have decided we need to change the way we buy groceries. Although we already have been trying to get the food for my diet, we have also still been buying too many salty and sweet snacks. We have rationalized these are for the grandkids, but have been way too tempted to eat them ourselves, too. I am not supposed to be eating these foods. So what I seem to have figured out to do is buy extra food for the diet; since the kids like the fruit, and have already been eating it anyway. They also like fresh vegetables, although they like dip along with them. I suppose I can create a low-fat, low-sodium dip they will like, that I can eat, too. Also, if we even get chips at all, we need to buy a package, with small bags in it, just for them. I haven't decided for sure about this yet, because I think it might still be too tempting. The best idea is probably to just buy the food on the diet and only have that in the house to eat. My husband, Alan, has diabetes and high blood pressure, too. He also needs to lose weight. So we both really need to be on this diet, anyway. He doesn't need the Kidney disease part, of the diet, but I'm sure it will still be good for him. It will help him control his blood pressure and lose some weight, along with me. I just hope he likes this idea as much as I do, or at least enough to give it his best effort. Also to help me with it, and help himself in the process. We will see. I will discuss it with him and post how he feels about it later. Check back later to see how all of this is going. Hopefully, if I can make these changes, I will lose weight more consistently, and he will, too.
