Food obsessed, always feeling guilty

I also remember the good ole days when I didn't have indigestion.☹️

I do try to limit all the 'oh-so-bad-for-you' foods, but sometimes I eat the 'wrong' food types and just put up with the guilt.

Yes,*Antonia*... I am much the same these days, a bugger isn't it?grin
Still, I have what I want on high days and holidays and when we have guests, so not too bad.

These days I can't seem to eat much without feeling guilty about it. I have high blood pressure, so shouldn't eat much salt, pre-diabetes so I shouldn't eat sweet things, or many carbs. I am about a stone overweight, so shouldn't be eating anything high in fat such as cheese. Red meat should be limited as it's bad for you. Ditto processed meat. I shouldn't be drinking more than a glass of wine a day.....And so the list goes on. I realise there is a lot left (fish, chicken, salads etc) and I do eat those, but I can't help regretting the days when I was younger and could eat anything. I feel guilty about eating pretty much anything that doesn't have the word 'salad' in it. Does anyone else have these thoughts or is it just me?
