dieting wtf
So, I can recall mentioning a couple posts ago that I was going on a diet. I'd spent several years not giving a crap about anything, and my eating habits suffered badly. I was only eating once a day, in the middle of the afternoon, because that's the only time I got hungry. Probably because I'd have a huge cup of coffee with tons of sugar as soon

But then I remember that I was never as motivated to stick to it, as I am now. I told myself I didn't have the time, or the energy, or the whatever to eat properly. I don't have any of those excuses anymore.
It's a health issue now, too. I was flirting with dangerous territory with the diabetes. It's still possible that I could eat properly for the rest of my life, and STILL wind up with type 2 diabetes. It's hardwired into me genetically to be at severe risk. It really freaked me out when my father came down here for a visit, and told me he'd been diagnosed with it, and explained that type 1 and 2 also run on his side of the family. We're not close, so I never knew, and assumed that it didn't. Talk about wake-up calls.
I've already told you how proud I am of you, but you've also been a bit of an inspiration, too. You made big changes, and stuck to them, and they've paid off. I'm hoping that even half of your willpower to stick with things rubs off on me. lol
