Do you care about your health?

I didn't for a good part of my life. I was 58, obese (246lbs) with type 2 diabetes and ate whatever I wanted most of the time. I was in denial. I was lazy. I didn't want to make the effort to do anything.
This past September my outlook changed for a variety of reasons. I began to change the way I ate by making efforts to eat less and eat healthy. I began to walk everyday, and have incorporated other types of exercises in my life.

I am now at 177 pounds. My diabetes is regulated much better. I don't want to go back to how I used to live.

If you are considering making a lifestyle change to get healthy, do it! And yes you can do it if you put your mind to it.

Somewhat. Honestly though I am not going to deprive or torture myself over a future that may or may not come.

Too often in life we try to do the right things but then things go to hell anyways.
Work so hard in exchange for so little.

@Punches I understand what you are saying. We all make those choices. I made too many bad choices for too long.
@Punches Great comment 😊
