I don't smoke, drink, use drugs or live a 'loose life," ha, like that is much of an option at 60, although if I wanted to I could. What I am saying is that I really do live a pretty clean, good life. I like living my life the way I do. I feel pretty good about myself, except for this one thing, food. Don't take my food away.
My doctor, who is a wonderful, humorous fellow, also fights the weight issue. He is very kind and understanding. He doesn't berate me for not being a healthy weight. He does let me know that it isn't fair and that it is a concern, considering that I am now dangerously close to being diabetic. I used to be able to get away with it, not anymore. Weight is no longer an issue of vanity alone it is now an issue of health.
I know, I know, I have gotten completely off of track. I wanted to recognize Nancy Canfield. She always makes me laugh. Nancy is funny, my age, and very, talented. She writes about her everyday life in her outrageously funny style. She should be a best seller with her humor and sharp wit. She is not afraid to laugh at herself and relates to other women who are in the same boat. Please take the time to visit her if you haven't' already. Nancy will get your day off to a good, uproariously, funny start.
Nancy's articles are not only funny but so is her poetry. I especially loved this poem that I read this morning. Her descriptions of doing yoga, among other things that would be ordinary are hilarious when Nancy writes about them. Her relationship with her sister and family will have you in stitches.
I am now off to slay my dragons for the day and to resist the evil temptations of sugar and carbs, one day at a time. www.associatedcontent.com/article/2841736/staying_abreast.html
