RE: Fw: lab

[Guest guest]

Mark... another lazy thought we have to fight is ... " oh well, I'll start

tomorrow. " No we won't *laugh*. If we cannot say no to food today, we are not

going to start tomorrow. That is an excuse. If that was true, why are we not in

control of the diabetes right now? How long have we been telling our selves that

lie?

At least that is how my mind works grin. So, let me encourage you to put off

that " I'll start tomorrow " thought it doesn't work!

Re: Fw: lab

:

Just got my lab results back on Friday. Remember, I've only been a Type 1

diabetic since March. My A1C last time was 6.1. Now it's 5.7.

I think one of the hardest things to learn if you're a " helping person "

by nature is that there are people whom you cannot help and that,

ultimately, the determining factor as to whether someone succeeds in

improving health (barring the unexpected) is whether he or she has his

or her heart in the effort.

That said, I must confess (and please don't interpret the following as

intolerance) that I just don't understand food cravings or, as so

eloquently put it, junk " calling your name " . Yes, food can be delicious.

But there isn't a food I can't pass up, especially if it means the

difference between life and an early death.

But perhaps there's something else at work here: I dare say most of us

thought when we were twenty that we were immortal. Likewise, I suspect

that far too many of us think complications happen to " those other

people " ; they're not going to get *us!* And all-too-many of us find

otherwise the hard way when it may be too late (but isn't always, thank

goodness).

Put another way, in situations such as with 's friend, what

we're dealing with is an inability or unwillingness to apply rational

thinking to the situation and a lack of self-discipline or, perhaps,

even a fatalism ( " eate drink and be merry for tomorrw you may die! " ).
