So last night, after polishing off a small pizza by myself, I had another gallbladder attack.
Today I decided that enough is enough. I'm still tender and sore from the attack, but I'm determined to change things. I have my own elliptical sitting in my living room collecting dust and when I get home from work, I intend to spend 20 minutes on it. I've also been trying to focus on my food today, make sure what I'm putting in my body isn't going to cause me pain later - low fats and no fast food, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how to stay motivated. I can't just wait for another attack to kick my *kitten* into gear if I'm not feeling it.

If I were you, I'd use not wanting another gall bladder attack as my motivation. Been there, done that and got it out, so I won't have to deal with it anymore. But if you think you even might be able to avoid them through diet and exercise, I say go for it. Health is a great motivator! Good luck.0
