Grocery Store Problems

March 25, 2013
 It's really the 26 now because it takes me 2 hours to grocery shop! It's ridiculous reading all of the labels and finding things I can eat that will also last me a while. Oh well, now I have food that I can eat and I won't have to do it again for a little while. I'm getting better at just ignoring all of the good stuff. All the things I really want to fill my cart with. Sometimes I'll look at the labels just to laugh at how much I really can't have all of those things. It's kind of weird, I don't know if I like it.

 Today I felt was very productive. I got some cleaning in, did a few applications for jobs, spoke with an insurance representative about my benefits, did some relaxing, went to the gym, and went grocery shopping. I'm getting a lot better with all of this and I'm starting to feel really healthy. I was even sad tonight when I was at the grocery store and they didn't have the vegetables I wanted. It really is so strange how a few moments in your life can change it forever. Those seconds in the emergency room when the doctor said I had diabetes changed the rest of my life. A couple seconds compared to decades.. I guess it just makes it even more important to hold on to everything good in life because you don't know when it could be changing. I'm not saying my life is bad now it's just very very different and I miss when I could eat whatever whenever. Being healthy will be a great way to live and I'm excited to do it. Struggles and all. :)
