The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Her husband was diagnosed with a cholesterol of 220 in June 2012. In late November 2012, it was down to 140. His wife was in charge of his diet.
It all changed when he went to Cheezeburger Cafe with his co-workers.
jenteacups79: I have worked TOO damn hard for you to do this ****
Husband : yeah was just one single patty burger in 4 months...
jenteacups79: downward spiral.
jenteacups79: It starts off as a single patty, pretty soon I'll find you in alleyways chasing the dragon with cheese doodles and cheese covered pretzals.
jenteacups79: then you'll move up to pies...then cakes...
jenteacups79: then you'll have to go to a rehab...get kicked out for smacking a supermodel or something for her cosmic brownie..
jenteacups79: be back snorting cheese fries at outback..
Husband: So..I shouldn't admit it was a double with bacon?
jenteacups79: downward. spiral. Dude. Downward. Spiral.
Yea. I freaked out a little bit. But seriously? He was so happy that his cholesterol was down. And this is an occurance that happens so often when he goes out with them! Whole platters of chicken nachos covered in cheese and sour cream..whole plates of kebabs with tahini...I just wish he would control himself when there's peer pressure and not rely on me 100% to make him his meals at home when he can't do it when he's out.
