Eating Dessert First

I've realized a truth I've heard all my life.  Life is short.  As I get older that reality becomes more and more real to me.

I've always thought it would be nice to be "free" to do non-traditional things. So I decided today was a good day to do something I've always wanted to do but haven't.

So I ate dessert first.  An ice cream sundae... not a sugar free, diabetic-friendly sundae.  Not a weight watcher's portioned sundae... a real 2-scoop full fat, full sugar vanilla ice cream with Hershey's syrup, sundae!  Oh have I missed those!

I followed that dessert with a lunch of veggie pasta with fat free cheese, venison spaghetti sauce, and a side of radishes (raw)... rather mundane in comparison. But for a few moments it was nice to remember what life was like before I was diabetic, before I was trying to lose weight, back in the days when I could eat anything I wanted and not gain weight.

Now I'm back to reality. Once in a while, however, we do need to just enjoy the simple things.  Today was one of those days.
