Ok ok I know that I have been struggling lately and today is the last day with that!!!!! Today was a hard day for my family (my much loved father in law passed away suddenly a year ago today) Most of my in laws are over weight, diabetic and have heart problems. Today we all got together at a buffet....well I was kinda upset about it because I don't have much self control lately. As I was eating a big taco salad every one started talking about how pappa would have loved this place. Then as I was on to not one but my 5th lemon bar every one started talking about how pappas passing has changed their lives. I thought about how he ate and how that effected his health. I realized that life is so short and I have NO right to cut mine short eating the way I have the last few weeks. I have a big family that I love and they need me around for a long time! I can't let food and lack of exercise cut my life short. So I guess in short this is my way of recommiting to a healthy life style! Love and miss you pappa.

    That was beautiful. I have a huge wonderful family, too. Like yours, mine suffer from obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
    I had to make a choice very young....20+ years of high blood pressure, and after my son was diagnosed with type I diabetes, I had some hard decisions to make about the reality that type II diabetes plays in my family's history.

    So glad you have made a healthy decisions to live your life the best possible way...wish you all the success :flowerforyou:
