A Better Me

I'm not sure how many may know much about the inner workings of my club, but Mons is picky. You have to be near the top of your game, physically, to work here. It took me five years to manage that. But, I've recently found that just because I'm here now doesn't mean I get to totally relax. As a good friend pointed out recently, I'm not gonna

I feel your pain

Hello, Christy. It's Rob from MySpace. I recently found out that I have diabetes and cholesterol so high they couldn't calculate it. I had to change my ENTIRE lifestyle from what it was. I cut out all soda except for some diet ones. I started drinking the Crystal Light stuff because I just cannot drink water plain. I had to get rid of almost all fat and cholesterol in all of the foods I eat, so NO fried foods at all. And, limit myself to only eating red meats once a week as a "treat" to myself. They also told me I had to lose weight because I was in the heart attack/stroke range. And I am only 33!

I made all of those changes and have now lost over 40 pounds, just through controlling my diet alone and no exercise. I am feeling much better every day and all of my health has improved.

I still struggle with the diet. The sugar thing is well under control, but not eating fast food just kills me. I hate to see my wife or daughter eating fast food while I cook one of my veggie burgers or soy chicken nuggets (which, by the way, are VERY good and may help wean you off the fast food nuggets).

I know you have more will-power and determination than I do, so you will be able to do much better than I have.

I wish you only the best, Gorgeous.

Rob
