I went for my follow-up doctor's appointment today for my diabetes. My numbers improved significantly over the past 3 months. In September my triglycerides were 2,062, but today were at 242. My A1C in September was 10.7%, but today was 7.6%. I'm taking prescription Mounjaro, which is an awesome drug in my humble opinion. I've lost 12 pounds in 2 months so far. The FDA just approved the exact same drug under a different brand name for weight loss, called ZepBound. Mounjaro is strictly for diabetics. My cholesterol in September was 342, but today was 120. My blood pressure went from 160/96 in September to 109/64 today. So far so good, praise the Lord. I thanked my doctor for her help.
But I feel like I sinned on the way home because I stopped at McDonalds. I hadn't been to McDonalds since once last month when I saw they had McRib's for sale. I am trying to avoid junk food, but I wanted to treat myself a little. The fish fillet wasn't hot. The fries were lukewarm. The Diet Coke with extra ice was great! I was shocked what they charged me! The fish fillet cost $5.49 by itself, plus $.050 for extra cheese, $.0.55 for extra tartar sauce. The Big Mac Meal cost $9.49 which came with regular size fries and a medium soda. Plus $1.20 Florida tax. All toll, I paid $17.23 for an inferior meal. I seriously doubt if I will go to McDonald's once in the next year (unless the McRib's come back...lol). I remember when you could buy 2 Big Mac's for $2.
This past week I ate a bunch of Chinese food loaded with lots of fresh vegetables. I blew it today by succumbing to my cravings for McDonalds (that cursed place...lol). Fast food isn't worth it anymore, being way overpriced for garbage food in the first place. After my weakness today I am resolved to stay away from fast food this coming year in 2024 as much as possible. Eating at home is so much cheaper. I do plan, God willing, to eat plenty of fresh vegetables from the local Chinese restaurants. It's 100% better for one's health than Burger King, KFC or McDonalds.
I didn't even eat the Big Mac and half the fries, because I wasn't hungry after eating the Fish Fillet sandwich. The Mounjaro curbs my appetite. I feel full much quicker than I did before taking the medication. The Bible teaches us to revenge all disobedience. 𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭𝟬:𝟲, "𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱." I apply that verse to my eating habits as well. I regret stopping at McDonald's today, but it was good that I finally realized how ridiculous prices have become. At least 50% of the time when I have gone to McDonald's, their food is cold, dry and dissatisfying; it's garbage food. McDonald's is pricing themselves out of business.
