I've never been a soda drinker. I am a major water drinker. I have been for a good 15 plus years now. I've been told I drink too much water. (Not) lol Other then water I have my tea in the mornings, and when I'm out its ice tea. As to cooking dinners for me and hubby we WERE the meat and potato kind of people, but then I did cook a variety of other things. Including veggies with all our meals. Lots of fruits throughout the day. Big cereal eater in the mornings...be it boxed or oatmeal, malto meal, etc. My boxed cereals are NEVER suger coated...can't stand them. I ususally have bran flakes, Corn flakes, Shredded Wheat. Now I will sprinkle a tiny bit of suger on top along with a cut up fruits. My *worse* habit *was* ice cream. I got to getting into ice cream more then I should late at night. It got to be a BAD habit which I can now stay I don't touch it since I was DX. The other major player for me as Rhonda mentioned is stress. I have had far too much stress in my life...one thing after another. Major stress, not little stuff. I use to always tell everyone the stress alone was going to kill me.
Plus I was disabled before bc due to a serious back problem which seriously keeps me from the exercise I need so bad. But I did ride my bike often and used my pool throughout the summer. But exercise I feel is so important. I was the first one in my entire family to ever be DX with any type of cancer...I was in shock. But then I did wonder if the over exposure to repeated x-rays of my back for scoliosis from age 5 to 15 yrs old wasn't behind it? Guess I will never know. Susan Komen site mentioend the excessive x-rays.
But this is an intersting and fun post just to see if we can see any type of a pattern here. But when it comes to sweets, I don't think I really over did it. Maybe at *times* during Christmas & Holidays if someone bought me some See's candy or something yummy. But I was not one to just sit and snack on donuts, cookies, candy bars. Again, my worse thing was my ice cream.
