We are staring down the month of October, aka Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I like to think that as breast cancer survivors we’re all very aware, and you probably agree with me on that point. What I don’t like to think about is the barrage - much of which is ridiculous - of pink EVERYTHING you’ll be marketed over the next 31 days. And the overwhelming (suffocating?) focus on breast cancer? It can be a bit much. Join me as I kick off the month of October with my take on pink, awareness, and where we as survivors find ourselves in all of the breast cancer month hoopla.

Does that title shock you? Good! I wanted to get your attention and entice you to tune in to learn whether or not there’s truth to the missive, “It doesn’t matter whether or not you eat more fruit and veggies. It doesn’t matter at all what you eat!”  Perhaps you’ve heard that from your oncologist or another person on your after-breast cancer team? Today I compare and contrast fruit and veggie guidelines from the American Institute for Cancer Research with the Dietary Guidelines USDA MyPlate recommendations, as well as offer a delicious example of what one day’s worth of fruit and veggies looks like!

I know you thought you ate well before your breast cancer, but now? You’re just not sure. When you don’t trust yourself, your feel like you’re getting your food “wrong” or that you’re eating all the things you think you “shouldn’t”, you’re second-guessing your food. Tune in and learn why the way you “think” you should manage your food isn’t working, and two ways to make food choices you feel good, not guilty, about.
