Life Without Mayo

To me, mayonnaise was a food group all to itself. I used it on everything.
I think it started way back when I was seven. I had been really sick, and for some reason mayonnaise sandwiches didn’t make me sick. So I got hooked on mayo sandwiches. My love for mayonnaise transpired into everything I ate. French Fries meant blobs of mayo. Chicken, covered in mayo was my favorite food. When meatloaf was served, the mayo jar was right next to me. So my love for mayo was born.
There is a few food items I have not put mayo on, like cold cereal, but most everything I ate required mayo on it. And I mean mayo. I would glob it on so it would ooze out the sandwich. If it didn’t ooze, it wasn’t enough.
For now, those days gone. Being that I am actually reading labels much more carefully, I realized how much fat I was putting in my body. I am on a mission to lose weight, and even a teaspoon of mayonnaise has 11 grams of fat, and 50 fat calories. And it isn’t like mayo adds any fiber or other benefits to my diet. So out it goes.
Sorry Helmans.
