Meet the
Duckalicious AKA Daffy treading water in the Batcrap Crazy pond. Adrienzgirl lovingly refers to me as the skinny bitch she dragged here. Not so I say! I came willingly. Frequently some oh-so-nice person will snidely ask why I’m drinking a diet coke and what reason do I have for dieting? Not only would I like to throat chop these people but also ask why they choose to dress the way they do when the circus only comes to town once a year?1? Shutyerignorantpiehole!
I am an insulin dependent diabetic. My life depends on my food choices just as yours does, regardless of my size. I also battle thyroid disease which means if I even dream about food I wake up with 10 extra pounds clinging my ass. Bottom line is not the number but how you feel in your skin. So whether you have 10 pounds or 100 to lose, if your goal is better nutrition or to physically be able to run a 5k, we all have something to gain (no pun intended) from being here.
I’m bringing the diabetic perspective to the table along with recipes that work in my home as well as tips and tricks for everyday weight and health management. Feel free to email me with questions or topics you'd like to see me talk about. I'm not a registered dietitian nor do I have a PHD in these topics. I do have over 10 years of experience and I'm still alive so that should count for something. Now, on to the eating part.
From my kitchen to yours I'd like to share:
