Thanks for the Vote of Support

Day 64,

Thanks peeps for the support. My quest to eliminate High Fructose Corn Syrup is a personal one. I've been reading a lot lately about it and its link to conditions like Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance. I have both. One begets the other. Unfortunately, when a person has these conditions, weight loss is difficult.

My struggle is no secret. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a quick fix. I'm looking for something to help me break this addiction to junk. Getting rid of the HFCS is my first step in that direction. I didn't realize that it's in so many everyday food items. One expects these things to be in candy and I knew it was in a variety of crackers, cakes and snack foods. But, you may not know (as I didn't) that many salad dressings, yogurts, breads, and fruit juices. etc.contain this additive. It is not in potato chips. I checked....

As my friend Clara suggested, "Pick ONE thing". It's a good suggestion because I frequently get bogged down in the all or nothing approach.

Grocery Shopping tomorrow should be fun. :) 40 Days of no HFCS starts Wednesday.

Cheers!
Margaret
