- Go to Dinners Are Becoming a Bit Difficult to Plan, but I've Got This
Re: Re: Goldiec, you are a great friend. It really is hard, but I'm doing it.
Sherri, I think it will come easier with time. I think a little bit of anything is fine. Just not too much. Ever since I had COVID I have not been able to get my appetite back. I'm working on it. I still have dark circles under my eyes and I've got to find something that covers them up.

Re: Goldiec, you are a great friend. It really is hard, but I'm doing it.
I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. So far it has not proven to be hereditary according to my mother and siblings. It comes down to my drinking beer and choosing high cholesterol foods. I thought that my mom was taking a statin, but she takes high blood pressure pills, not cholesterol pills. I love McDonald's breakfast sandwiches, cheese, butter, pizza, cheeseburgers, and cheesy fries. I also love mayonnaise, mustard, dips, and salad dressing. I just have had to retrain my brain.

Good Afternoon
Sherri, I have to say how much I admire the way you are taking charge of your health to get your cholesterol down. I think your doctor will be proud of how much effort you are putting into your diet. There are so many people that ignore what the doctors tell them. I've been following the same diet you do for years and my cholesterol is right where it's supposed to be. It's just a way of life for me now. The medicine you are taking will help and remember if it's hereditary don't blame yourself. I eat maybe one egg per month and stay away from bacon, hamburgers, and things like that. If the price of eggs keeps going up I'm going to stop buying them so that will solve that problem. I make them for everyone else but I don't eat them. If I do decide to eat a hamburger it's just one plain one with no bread or condiments. If I find a good recipe I will share it with you.
