I pretty much eat that way.

I don't use sugar at all. I use sweetnlow or equivalent of it. I eat eggwhites or egg beaters and have oatmeal for breakfast a lot.

I drink 1% milk and I eat lots of apples and veggies such as broccoli, tomatoes and lettuce. Lots of salads.

As far as meats, if I eat any it will be the deli low fat turkey. I have never been much of a meat eater anyway. I have a hog to be killed in March that my kids got for me and I don't know yet what I will do with the meat. I will keep some bacon around for Devin. I have also eaten the turkey bacon. It's pretty good but again I stay away from most meats anyway.

I have about 15 lbs to lose that I am working on now. I've started taking my walks again.

My cholestral had come down the last time we checked. It was still too high at 250 but better then 320. I am going to ask him to check it again soon.

I just have trouble taking off the last of the lbs I want off. I have been at the same weight now for about 7 years after losing 75 lbs.

I do feel better when I don't eat the wrong foods. At times I will eat something I shouldn't. I do keep candy and cookies around for the boys but I get sugar free or low fat and they like it. Susan cooks good meals for them so when they come over I have a few treats for them.

When I'm in more pain I tend to eat wrong. I pace the house because of the pain and eat from a nervousness that comes with the pain.
