Funny thing is, prior to diabetes I rarely ever had bread in the house.
When I did, I usually made it myself and ate it with soup. If I had a
sandwich, it was in a restaurant. Thinking back on it now, I remember going
to a place called Sandwich Isle sometimes when I was at work because they
were right across the street. I only did this a few times because not long
after eating I would get sick to my stomach and have to go home. I now
realize it was probably the mayo they put on there. I have that egg allergy
but didn't realize it then. Since I didn't have a very long lunch break I
opted to take the sandwich the way they normally made it because I got it
quicker. But if I ordered a sandwich in a regular restaurant I would always
ask for no mayo.

I started buying the bread because back when I was diagnosed they kept
referring to the starch or carb choices as breads. And they weren't the only
ones to do this. I remember a friend who is not so bright looking at a
Weight Watcher's eating plan and telling me that she didn't know peas were
bread! Anyway... I guess I kept hearing the word bread so much I felt I
should buy it. I still don't eat a lot of bread but I think I eat more now
than I did before diabetes.
