The F-Word Diet

by Donna Kay Kakonge

"I've been trying to lose weight for so long and don't know what to do?" Cherise told her doctor over the phone during a check-up taking place at home.
The family doctor sat in her office at the clinic and shut the door to protect herself from the potential of anyone walking in with COVID-19.
"What have you been eating?" Dr. Jayne Smith asked.
Cherise started to cry, "I know I have not been eating well. Not the healthy stuff. I'm not on some f-word diet "
Dr. Smith's smile was not revealed by Cherise, but Cherise could hear the smile in her voice.
"It's OK, Cherise, you can tell me," Dr. Smith said. "What have you been eating? What is a non-f-word diet?"
Cherise started to giggle and wiped away her tears.
"Well, I love waffles with lots of syrup from breakfast "
"Yes," Dr. Smith smiled, thinking of diabetes. "What else?"
"I go to McDonald's about three times a day for a quick run to get out of the house with this lockdown," Cherise said.
Dr. Smith was silent for a moment.
