Lard, yuck!!

This afternoon at work, as I was stocking shelves a guy was looking at the cooking oil stuff, he was there for quite a while, and finally he asks me, mam, which would work better cooking oils or lard? He wasn't sure if it would double in quantity or not. I went to one of the olde cashiers and asked her, and she said no it wouldn't double, but it's doubly hard on your arteries! Duh...I told that to the customer, he was like, ah, I really don't care, and I was like you only live once right? He was like yep!
But it truely amazes me up here! Almost everybody bakes! From Cakes, to dinners, fried etc....and much to my surprise, everybody up here has this guys same outlook on life, you only live once! While I'm doing my daily routine, walking around the store, and bagging, I just look at the customers! (exciting life, huh?) 98% of them are on breathing machines, walkers, canes, can't half breath. and most of it is because of the way they're eating! and they are too stubborn to change!
As for me, I don't want to be 85 and on a breathing machine, not being able to walk 5 steps and be longwinded! I know I can't change the world, but hopefully if people see my family and I eating right, maybe, just maybe they'll ask. It just truely amazes me how much "junk/carbs" people put in their carts, and it is soooo freakin easy to do the 20 carbs or less! All you gotta do is cut out the junk!

Hi Stephanie!

I imagine a good number of those folks with breathing machines are ex-smokers.
That's why quit smoking last year (right before I started FTS).
I was a ticking "time bomb".

I pray that I quit in time to avoid one of those machines later on.
But I'm confident that if I did not quit smoking and start FTS when I did, my funeral would have been visiting me shortly.

Yes Tony I have a sister that smokes like there is no tommorrow and she will not stay on FTS . She did try and I did get her to give up her drinks that she was drinking .We have almost have  quit going over to her house because of the smell and second hand smoke .

She is  a ticking time bomb ,like you were . You can lead a horse to the water ,but you cant make them drink . If the cigs dont give her the cancer the sugar will . I stay on that a@@  but what can we do 

 I thought not going over to see her would do it  ,but it has not

@Joeagain, addiction of any kind weather sugar, cigaretts or drinks is a funny thing, isn't it? Funny what one is willing to do or give up for a fix.
