Lovely read, yet again. I became a diabetic by 35. A family of diabetics but I was the youngest of all of them. It was depressing to me that I'd have to forgo most of the food items I enjoyed before that. But it was also clearly evident that I had to do that in order to live well. But more than diabetes, what affects my food availability and quality is my health care job. 😂 Prolonged periods of fasting is the occupational disaster I have been living with. But as you write, we can only wish people who eat unapologetically. I really admire foodies. Long live!!
Ah, my father developed diabetes at 32, and my mother has been paranoid about us kids getting it from childhood. From the time I hit 30, I've been doing regular bloodwork since it's in my genes. Managed to stick to an exercise routine but can't say I've done great with the diet :/ I totally understand how difficult it must be to stay healthy in such a busy profession as yours - especially when you're more aware about the consequences than the average person.
Hilarious! I can totally relate to swearing off Swiggy and switching to Zomato over a non-delivery of a flask of tea when I was "very sick and dying" and had run out of gas! However, I would have unsubscribed to the notifications because I am bad at handling temptations, especially when it comes to food :D
Hahaha, I know right! I cried when the banoffee pie didn't come. I had such an awful PMS headache and I badly needed the sugar. I uninstalled the app and have never gone back. I'm impressed with my own Draupadi-level oath :D
burst out laughing at this: "No, this event did not mark a turning point in my health journey. I merely shifted to Zomato". Loved this piece!

The pleasures of guilt -free eating!
Much of what I eat is accompanied by a huge ge dollop of guilt.
