Last Meal

President Obama's birthday is tomorrow. On the news, they showed that the last meal on his birthday eve was a burger, fries, and a milkshake. The First Lady has a healthy eating campaign. I wonder if she has the same problem thatI have. You know, he's eating that kind of thing and she's pushing health eating program. I think that must happen in a lot of families.

Several people in my family have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type II diabetes. I think people get these types of conditions as they age. I'm determined not to get these types of conditions as a result of lack of exercise or poor diet.

How we should eat

When I spoke with the nutritionist, it was funny just how focused she was on feeding your body. She didn't seem to get the fact that I just like to eat. Of course, if I actually ate the way people are supposed to eat, I wouldn't always have to count calories. I eat cottage cheese and greek yogurt for snacks. Who would want an extra helping of that? No, the things I overeat are fattening or sweet. If I thought about what my body actually NEEDED, I wouldn't have the challenges that I have.
