Cholesterol Fighter

As you may or may not be aware, my cholesterol is super high. It's so high my doctor recommended I speak to a nutritionist because according to him, "I'm too young to be on medication." Well, I'm too cheap to speak to a nutrionist. More or less, I'm pretty sure the nutritionist will just tell me to stop eating fat, crawfish, cow, shrimp, etc. [The fat thing, my sister has been telling me for years].

In efforts to carry away the cholesterol, I tried eating cheerios because in my mind, oatmeal is too nasty. Well, I finished off a box of cheerios, which was pretty disgusting, so I thought I would try my hand at oatmeal.

Day 1: It took me an hour to finish one package. But I wasn't hungry for a long time.
Day 2: I adjusted to the oatmeal and finished it in a reasonable amount of time.
Day 3: One package doesn't hold me down. I get hungry as usual... but not as hungry when I eat a rice krispie treat w/ a glass of milk.

Day 4 - yesterday: Still having oatmeal for breakfast. I still think it's disgusting, but hey... I gotta do what I gotta do.
Today: This is what my oatmeal did to my spoon...

Yes, the spoon is broken into 4.2 parts. A colleague came into my office to ask me a question. By the time he left, the oatmeal had hardened. When I dug my spoon to get a bite, the spoon broke, with one piece flying across the room and landing in my book shelf.

This stuff better be taking away my cholesterol.

    maybe tried the flavored instant quaker oats oatmeal. it's a lot better than the plain one. banana nut is my favorite!

    haha, i tried the special k diet for like a week to shed a couple of pounds. i think i ended up gaining a few extra pounds because it was just extra meal i normally didn't eat. good luck with the oatmeal!
