So my uncle on my moms side has just been diagnosed with celiac disease. Basically means he's forced to eat glutton free foods for the rest of his life or else his intestines will begin to shut down (again). No beer. No cake. Hardly anything good.
Oh yeah, and it's genetic. Yeah, my grandparents definitely had one of those "Oh, that explains why so and so was that way."
Diabetes. High blood pressure. Thyroid problems. And now, celiac disease. All things I'm finding out I'm prone to WELL INTO ADULTHOOD.
On a positive note, I have kept myself steadily under 250 pounds for two weeks now, despite my levels of activity going down. I'm eating less and eating better. My goal is to at least be in the 230's by the end of the year.
