In 2006 I quit smoking.
Â
In 2006 I gained a lot of weight.
Â
In 2007 I joined Weight Watchers and lost over 40 pounds!
Â
In 2008 I gained it all back. Every last pound.Â
Â
Now this year I have to do something about it. Last year I spent dwelling on all the things wrong with my life and did not take care of myself the way I should. And for what purpose? To feel worse? To waste a year getting fatter and feeling terrible?Â
Â
It's funny how easy it is to tell someone to keep their chin up and to help motivate others when you cannot do it for yourself.Â
Â
My last A1C was a 8.5 and I have yet to go back because I know it is worse. My blood sugars have been through the roof because of my eating habits and lack of exercise.Â
When my doctor drew my blood last week I knew I would get the number and would see the damage I had done. When I stepped on the scale and the nurse had to move that bottom weight over another 50 pounds I knew I needed to get my act together.Â
Â
My pants don't fit right. My shirts look awful and I have noticed a brand new chin on my face when I look in the mirror.
Â
No my friends something must be done and soon.Â
I wonder if this has anything to do with the numbness I was feeling in my arm? I know it has everything to do with my cholesterol that is for sure.Â
Â
With a dad who died at 43 of a heart attack, losing weight and dropping my cholesterol should be a major priority.
Â
I must make a priority.
Â
I have to.
