So, I’ve been dealing with a serious health issue for the past three years.  It’s called ulcerative colitis, and there’s no cure for this terrible syndrome.   Despite being ill and in severe pain at times, I still try to maintain my diet and exercise regimen.  But, recently, I’ve been gaining weight.  I talked to my doctor about this, and he said it’s from my medications.  Say what now? And on top of this revelation, he wants me to stop eating healthy foods, like fruits, vegetables,and grains.  Now, I do like my doctor and I trust his expertise, but he’s going to make me fat.  So, I figure I have two options - 1) anorexia (yeah, right - I’m not really feeling the protruding bones look) or 2) fill my plate with foods that I avoid as if they were simmering in e. coli, such as white rice, white bread, and anything processed.  What’s a girl to do?
