So I get some of the eating-blunted-by-anxiety concern.<br /><br />I was out running errands this weekend, a half-hour from home, needed to eat lunch. I fretted the rest of the day because the "lowest sodium" choice in the menu was still higher than how I had been eating.<br /><br />For me, it's the loss of spontaneity that I mourn - on days when I'm super busy and have an evening meeting, there is no more picking up a pizza or Chinese; instead I have to plan ahead to take my little damn salad and my damn steamed snow peas and my damned apple with me, and eat them while in transit from one place to another. <br /><br />I don't mind eating low sodium; what I mind is that I have to think about it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. No, EVERY. SINGLE. MEAL.<br /><br />I also have a family history of diabetes, so I suppose that may come, no matter how hard I try to eat healthfully and exercise...fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-84304660913745512802012-12-03T08:10:47.609-05:002012-12-03T08:10:47.609-05:00So are you a "fun" person?So are you a "fun" person?
