Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today
Because I am still depressed with the idea that I am not allowed to eat almost all foods that I used to eat, I'd like to change the concept of today's supposed blog which is "a photo of something that you ate today" into "photo/s of something that you wish you had eaten today."
So here they are:
* Home-cooked Khal-Style Chopsuey -- This looks very nutritious right? But how come I can't eat it anymore? Well, it has potatoes that are high in carbohydrates and calories, broccoli and cauliflower that are high in purine (culprit in increasing uric acid), carrots that are bad for asthma (especially when I found out that I am allergic to carrots after undergoing skin test).
* Sardines, danggit and rice -- obviously, sardines and danggit (dried fish) are both high in uric acid.. rice on the other hand is so high in carbohydrates which will become sugar..
* Thai Me Up's Moist Chocolate Cake -- This sinful rich chocolate cake can ruin any diet. LOL My Mom, Nana (Granny) and I shared this cake last February 4 during my Nana's visit to CDO.
* Kyla Bistro's Oreo Cheesecake -- The serving size was so big that my Mosshi and I had to divide it (unequally, he got the bigger part). Truly mouthwatering. Hmm as soon as my diet is over, I would definitely reward myself with a slice of this cheesecake.
So here they are:
Realty Bites, How Come I Could Not?
Okay. Here I am again in this time of the year -- wishing I'd be healthier, better, slimmer and more toned. Just to exempt myself from the typical wannabe-sexier women who think that they need to shed more pounds to be beautiful, I don't have beauty issues. I am beautiful inside and out.
The thing that haunts me every morning upon waking up, especially in those momentous eating times of the day, is my "bad" health. I have been sickly since November 2010 -- or should I say ever since I gained weight (as far as March 2006).
At this point of time, I have already accepted the painful reality: I am not healthy and I need to do something about it. I am tired of putting a pink blush over my anemic pale skin or of wearing clothes that would make me look slimmer and taller or of smiling even with the discomfort of prolonged menstruation (plus the painful dysmenorrhea due to hormonal imbalance and PCOS), constant migrain, aching joints, asthma attacks and frequent and painful urination due to UTI.
By the way, I am only twenty-seven.
With the above mentioned ailments, I am really dead-serious to lose weight and be healthy as soon as possible. Right now, the only thing I can do is to watch my diet since my physical activities are limited. I just had a fractional curretage two days ago (due to endometrial hyperplasia) and I am still recovering from asthma. Also, I need to get a go signal from my cardiologist since I have mild mitral valve prolapse.
I have been raiding the internet as to what to eat since my dietitian crashed out almost every food from my list. I cannot eat the following: oats, wheat bread, tomatoes, eggplant, orange, lemon, papaya, pineapple, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, all kinds of beans, full cream milk, all kinds of nuts, coconut milk, bread spreads, cakes, desserts, fried foods, dried fish, sardines, seafood, tuna, fish (my favorite malasugi, tangigue and other big fish), internal organs of meat, egg yolks, chocolates, ice cream, (ah!) cabbage. So what else can I eat? Just to make the record straight, my dietitian is not the villain of the story. I have very high cholesterol (303), high uric acid (8.89), anemia and weird allergens. That's why it took sometime for my dietitian to create a low-fat, low purine, low-cholesterol, hypo-allergenic diet exclusively for me considering the complexities of food. (E.g. Oats may be a good source of fiber, good for lowering the bad cholesterol. However, oats may also increase uric acid and instant oats are high in sugar.) Yes, my diet is very very complex and complicated. Food used to be my ultimate best buddy. But I never realize that every food has a disadvantage. What could be the healthiest food on earth that any person with any disease can eat it anytime? (Please let me know it there is any.)
So as soon as I am ready to move a muscle, P90x and Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred, you two better watch out. LOL
Reality bites, how come I could not? Oh well, who says I cannot swallow it whole? *winks*
