Lupus improves my diet

Lupus only lets me eat the best of foods!

Oh, Lupus, you are a clever girl. You even help me eat healthier. You make me pay dearly for falling off the wagon every time. To the point where I think twice before having that second helping or eating anything that contains empty calories. And if it's bad for me? Just forget it. To put it as gently as possible, putting anything bad in me is pointless because it just doesn't stay in.

I am rarely tempted to have soda pop any more. Lupus rejects it in the form of acid reflux. Yup, it's not staying in there, so why bother? Lupus also reminds me not to consume too much salt. If I do, my legs swell up like balloons and hurt like crazy. In fact, just about everything I do that's bad for me has instant bad results.

And that's important, right? Because most bad habits have eventual results. But with Lupus, I know right away that I have made a huge mistake. And since I feel the effects right away, I'm more likely to avoid them.

So, thanks, Lupus, for making it obvious what I should and shouldn't eat, in no uncertain terms. It keeps me on track!
