Introduce myself
I've just read over the last 500 messages in this NG and it looks like
there is a lot of support, knowledge and good advice here. I just turned 65 after retiring early 3 years ago due to multiple health problems and have been living on a very modest income and having to use the food bank next door, so my diet has been terrible! I've put on a lot of weight so I now have to work to take it off. I have sleep apnea (treated) but have an enlarged heart because of it as well as muscular and osteoarthritis. I use a cane, can't handle more than a couple of stairs and on a good day can walk about 500 feet on the level. With the Congestive Heart Failure and Asthma, I can't go very far or very fast. Now that I've got my first pension cheque, I can afford to buy proper food for a change, but found when I went to the store the other day, I would look at something and the little voice would say that I can't afford that! Some retraining is in order, I guess. I live in a seniors apartment building and they have a residents support bus that takes us to the mall to shop and I'm going tomorrow for my first real shopping trip in over three years. I've been sitting making a list (my memory is really crappy). They have red papayas, strawberries, yellow mangoes on sale, so I'm going to load up. I need to go low-fat and learn to eat regularly as I've developed a habit of only eating once a day, sometimes going 14 or 15 hours without eating, just having an occaisional tea. So..... lots of fresh fruit and veggies Fish No fat yoghurt Cottage cheese Quark cheese if I can find it Whole wheat bread Green tea If anyone can think of any healthy things to buy, I would appreciate all advice.
