A Cup Half Full

A long time ago I agreed to share my PKU pros list.  Well, I'm finally getting around to it!  I know there will be things I haven't thought of so if anyone thinks of any just comment below and we'll add it.  :). I'm positive this list will help other PKU'ers who are struggling to look a the bright side.  It helped me.

PKU Pros:

1. You have an army of doctors monitoring your health.  So if you ever have a tumor or a virus they'll catch it pretty early on.

2. You're healthier.  Think about it, have you ever seen an obese PKU'er?  Didn't think so.

3.  You don't have to worry about carbs... Just PHE. ;)

4. You can still live life and interact with people around you.

5. You are really good with scales.  (just in case you wanted to be chemist)

6. You can cook, and more importantly mess with recipes to make food you can have.

7. You always get to bring home lunches, and don't have to deal with the "mystery meat".

8. You learn self-control.

9. You can refuse weird looking foods, blaming it on your diet.

10. You aren't alone.  There are others who have it and understand everything.

I had fun with this list.  I hope it brings a smile to you're face because as I was typing it I was laughing hard.  My roommate probably thinks I'm psycho now.  Sometimes you've just got to laugh at life.  There are serious ones along with the funny ones, so that if you're having a blah day and funny justn't helping... The serious ones will remind you there are some good things about PKU.

Like I said earlier, add to this list.  Have fun with it!  :). See you later!
