Cooking! I’ve finally accepted the fact that I have a cancer. Live life to its fullest.

I'll bake an apple pie for Thanksgiving. Yummy. Up until several years ago, I used to enjoy a cookie after dinner. Somewhere along the way I lost my sweet tooth. I do enjoy a chunk of a very dark chocolate bar...not sweet.

I don't have an issue with avoiding treats during holidays.

I am still far under my pre-MPN weight. My Driver's license says I was 240 pounds, but the last time I weighed myself, I was 185 pounds. Every day, I drink a supplement with 240 extra calories and 25% of the RDA of bunch of vitamins. I try to eat ice cream at least 2-3 times per week, to help put on weight. I also try to eat a variety of healthy food. Whenever I have to give blood, I have to fast for some of the tests, so right after that, I go to McD*s and get a big breakfast with hotcakes. So, that is an extra 1340 calories! I tell myself I will stop caloric loading if I ever get to 200 pounds. Pass the pumpkin pie!🙂
