Your health

Taking care of my health is always an issue with me. I always seem to like what is not good for me. But in these uncertain times it is far better to correct an issue before it becomes a problem than wait until it becomes a problem and shell out big money to maybe have your problem fixed if it can be.

Case in point, My doctor told me for a few years I was pre-diabetic. I just blew her off and continued to live and eat the same way I had. When I became diabetic it escalated quickly.  First to blood testing and pills then to multiple injections. No matter what I did it seemed I could not get good control over my blood sugar. I had to live with this for a number of years until I learned about bareatric  by pass surgery. Now this seems to have cured my diabetes but it comes with its own set of issues to deal with on a life time basis. Some foods I cant tolerate anymore. My eyes are always to big for my stomach now. Over eating can be a real problem. And I will be on supplements for the rest of my life.

All this could have been avoided if I would have listened to my doctors advice when she first discussed my imminent problem. Diet and exerciser would have taken care of the issue.

I have always been one to exerciser, but it would go in spurts, and I always figured I worked hard so why couldn't I enjoy a few more cookies or that bowl of ice cream. 

Do what you can to take care of your health now. It is way easier than correcting a problem after it becomes a problem.
