Cooking! I’ve finally accepted the fact that I have a cancer. Live life to its fullest.

I'll bake an apple pie for Thanksgiving. Yummy. Up until several years ago, I used to enjoy a cookie after dinner. Somewhere along the way I lost my sweet tooth. I do enjoy a chunk of a very dark chocolate bar...not sweet.

I don't have an issue with avoiding treats during holidays.

Just don't!

I love all of the treats but do have issues with sensitivities to certain foods. When you don't feel all that good after eating some things, it's not that hard to not eat them.

I am still far under my pre-MPN weight. My Driver's license says I was 240 pounds, but the last time I weighed myself, I was 185 pounds. Every day, I drink a supplement with 240 extra calories and 25% of the RDA of bunch of vitamins. I try to eat ice cream at least 2-3 times per week, to help put on weight. I also try to eat a variety of healthy food. Whenever I have to give blood, I have to fast for some of the tests, so right after that, I go to McD*s and get a big breakfast with hotcakes. So, that is an extra 1340 calories! I tell myself I will stop caloric loading if I ever get to 200 pounds. Pass the pumpkin pie!🙂
