I don’t long for sweets like days gone by. Thirteen years ago in July, I radically changed my diet by vastly cutting carbohydrates and reducing added sugars to a nearly immeasurable amount. My health improved, my weight dropped, and I avoided diabetes; my doctor had been ready to put me on an insulin regime. Not necessary.
Discipline and self-control are possible, and I say that to everyone who wants a lifestyle of having your cake and eating it, too. You can’t have both. Eat your cake, or donut, and there will be consequences to your health. I love pasta, for example, and consumed it heartedly. I gave it up. You can, too.
If I rightly recall, I took the Featured Image, on May 30, 2016, as a reminder to myself—what life once was and what it could never be again. The donut shop is located in the Clairemont community of San Diego. Oh, yes, I once regularly delighted in the fresh, glazed Krispy Kreme. But my eating habits are different now. Would you change yours?
