I really like eating sweets every after meal, like you know, having sweets after having your lunch or dinner is the best! It makes me feel full and satisfied. I'm not sure if it's just me, but there were times that it became a habit of mine, and stopping it is super hard.
But when I realized that I'm having lots of sweets already, that's when I decided to limit myself and learn to get used to not having sweets anymore after meals. I don't want to have diabetes, my father is diabetic, and he died because of that, so it's better to avoid it while I still can because I might develop that too and that's not good.
But there are still times that I indulge myself to have sweets after meals, like chocolates, pretzels coated with chocolate, cookies, ice cream, and even sweet candies. It's hard to say no to those yummy treats, and it's hard to completely change them, you know. So there are times that I just eat them and only think about the goodness that those sweets have. They are that irresistible, lol.
But now, I really have to let go of that habit. I will be forced to do it, but actually, no one is pushing me to stop it. It's just a decision made solely by me. It's for my own good too, that's what I'm thinking, and this time, I decided to really be careful with my health. But most importantly, I am doing it so that I don't have to experience a recurring nasal polyp and suffer from it over and over.
October was when I learned about the growing thing in my nose for the second time. Yes, the second time, and just like the first time, the only solution that the doctor can suggest is to get surgery to remove it and not just sink it. I don't really have a choice, and if I want to live comfortably again, breathing in my nose and not in my mouth like I'm doing now, I have to do it.
So, I planned to go with the surgery even if I had to borrow the money. And, this time, I want to be extra careful and avoid some foods, including sweets, if they're needed, so that they won't regrow again. According to healthline.com, there is no exact known cause why polyps grow, but they are said to originate from long-term inflammation and may be related to different kinds of conditions such as allergies, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, and cystic fibrosis. And I am really not sure if I have one of those, but I suspect that I have allergies or chronic rhinosinusitis, or maybe both.
And with allergies, you all know that sweets have those ingredients that trigger allergies and inflammation, so I really have to let go of those sweets after my surgery. And even if I crave it, no more after-meal sweets from now on, this is just devastating. I can choose to still eat it, but nahhh, this time I will let it all go. I am bot rich so if I want to avoid spending another hundred thousand, I have to change this habit. I know I can do it, go self! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
And I even promised before that I would try more sweets, cakes, or even tarts this year, huh? I have to cross this off my list and really try my best to avoid those foods.
So for now, I have to enjoy these sweets with me because, after my surgery, which will happen on February 5, there are no more sweets for me anymore.
And yep, I already scheduled the operation for this nasal polyp on February 5, next month. I will be busy too to get some lab test and ughhh, it's mean I have to ready some cash again. This is where I really appreciate Hive more you know, in time like this. Good Luck to me! ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ.
