A Humorous Look at the Bright Side of Cancer... and There Is One

Grocery List
I’ll let you guess which entry is from my smart aleck son, Jonathan.

Dear Fran,

I have been driving myself crazy with this no-sugar bender I’ve been on. Thirty days I lasted with no sugar. Thirty. I finally broke down and had a few homemade chocolate chip oatmeal cookies on Saturday night. They were delicious. A bit sweet, but still delicious. I’ve been sneezing ever since because chocolate hates me.

Do you have a hard time with sugar?

I make it sound like I eat badly all the time and I really don’t. I eat five to seven servings of non-starchy vegetables every single day, a little bit of fruit, organic meat, and small portions of seeds and nuts. I’ve been staying away from sugar and processed foods like the plague and exercising four days a week. And I haven’t lost a single pound.

I’m going to see Haley this afternoon—that’s my naturopath—and ask her if she can put me on thyroid medicine again. I’m scared. I think I’ve told you about my experiences with that stuff before. Wish me luck.

Wish me luck with my sugar sponsor as well. She doesn’t know yet that I fell off the wagon and she reads my blog faithfully. I’ll be getting an email from her later….

Best friends always,

Marie
