What do you do when your day starts like this?

@LILY61 Well, I actually had it twice as a child. But no lingering effects in adulthood.

@dancingtongue twice? i thought you only could get it once?

@LILY61 Nope. There always is the risk of a relapse if you get another serious infection. I first got it half-way through 1st grade after a bout of whooping cough and scarlet fever. Then I had a relapse from the middle of 4th grade to 7th grade after a bout with pneumonia.

@Spoiledbrat yummy twinsies

@LILY61 well I never have touched alcohol or anything like that
And about sugar I eat it
We prepare a lot of traditional sweets, cakes etc here
Sugar is like an integral part of life
It's hard to live without it for me
I really love sweet things, fruits and vegetables

@Raaii well the natural sugar in fruits is not the same as eating baked goods. so when i diet i try to eat fruits and stay away from the processed baked stuff or my own baked goods. Boy, is that almost impossible at first. but then you get over it. it is like nicotine...after 8 days it doesn't hurt any more.😆

@LILY61 here the general type of sugar we eat is the one we get from sugarcanes
And I love jaggery, honey etc a lot too
Having food is actually fun
As long as it's all healthy we should enjoy it
And never starve yourself
Life is short
There's no perfect shape
Just stay healthy
And eat sufficient
