Parts of both of my Amazon and Target orders arrived today. My new nutrition shakes are chilling in the refrigerator right now for consumption tomorrow with my vitamins.
Today, I had an epiphany, a realization that floored me! I have always said in all of my MS support groups to tell newly diagnosed people that carbs and sugar are not your friends!!! Because they definitely are not and have not been for me!
But now, 22 years in to this beast, I am slowly discovering that both carbs and sugar are a necessary evil for me to exist. In talking with my nutritionist, it’s necessary for me to have more calories now. It feels so strange!!!
I am grateful that my new shakes arrived today and they’re in the fridge for me to try one tomorrow. A friend told me that they think it will taste a lot better and I agreed with them because they have 29 carbs! I have to change my way of thinking about all of this. Both carbs and sugar are going to be necessary evils for my existence now…
