Now I have four months.

I figured that since I had that under my belt, I can work on cutting another poison out of my life - high-fructose corn syrup. Wish me luck on that - I am quickly finding out that very nasty stuff can be found in anywhere at any time. My family is trying to discourage me from this new venture of mine. It's been a week since I knowingly consumed it, and I feel healthier and less sluggish already. I can't help it if it's in something I order at a restaurant or it it's in one of the ingredients of something a family member cooks for me - but most of the time, when I am shopping and cooking for myself, I find that it can be avoided rather easily. There are variations and brands of almost everything that are made without HFCS these days, after all. Just have to know where to shop for them, and I just have to keep reading the ingredient labels before diving into a purchase.

Hehehe.
