health update
had visits to diabetes specialist today and cardiologist all went well!!! Really sucks to have diabetes even though it's type 2 which is mild form. Still means i have to really cut back on sugar which means grrrrrrrrrrrrr POP!!!! One of my friends in seminary used to call me *squishy* because he said i drank so much pop i squished as i walked!!!! When we were little my aunt called me and my sister the *guzzlers*, our cousins were the *gobblers* because we drank so much. I hate that im so addicted to it!!!!! i mean as i sit here and type this my thoughts are a bunch of gripes and moans whining inwardly because i really need to give pop up. Water is just soooooooooooooooooooooooooo BLAH!!!!
My heart is doing well!!! Will do even better if i can lose more weight. i wish i had a device which made me not want to eat anytime i used it, as well as one to make me stop once i reached a certain limit. I developed really bad eating habits when young. Back then i was active all the time, mostly, and had a high metabolism. i used to eat and eat and eat.... never gain a pound!!!!!! Welll things sure changed once college years came. I wish that good food was advertised and made so attractive and appealing like the junk food is!!!! Any of you ever actually watched your heart at work??? or seen pics of your veins and arteries??? WEIRD!!! When i had my angioplasty done, the DR performing it told me to look over at the screen and he showed me the artery that was clogged..... man it was weird!!!!! i kinda went oh nice ok open it please.... (in my head) and laid back down waiting for it to end. God really did a fantastic job of freeing me from fear worry and panic the whole time. I just hope i can do as i need to and get my heart in even better shape pumping strong for another 45 years!!!! :)

You CAN give up soda, if I can give up chocolate and soda, you can too. It's mind over matter, you DO have control. Pop is so hard on kidneys too and makes you retain water. Another thing... pop doesn't let your food digest properly (that's the thought that cured me from wanting another one!). Although since I stopped drinking soda, most of my belching talent went with it, but I still shock myself how much water can make me belch. LOL
Find pleasure *snortle* in other things than food... You can do it, I know you can.
*HUGGLES*
Robert, I am so out-of-touch! Diabetes too? Man, that sucks. At least it's type 2. My son has type 1.
I'm one of those odd people who prefers diet pop. I drink one can when I get to work at 6:30 because it's easier than making coffee (does that tell you how sleepy I am?). If I remember correctly, you don't drink coffee at all.
So many calories in pop! that should help in other ways too.
When I lost 80 pounds in six months, I did it through eliminating sugar from my diet. Anything that had one of 40 forms of sugar as one of the top five ingredients, or anything that would turn to immediately digest to glucose (non-whole grains), were out.
Of course, I lost the weight and gradually reintroduced all those foods back into my life. Now I have those 80 pounds back again. *sigh*
Robert, I will pray that you will be able to surrender your eating to Him in a way which does not make you feel like a guilty prisoner all the time.
