I’ve Decided to Become Diabetic

Type II diabetes runs in my family, and its very likely I’ll land the disease by around age forty-five. Occasionally I’ll quit eating sugar and sweets just to make sure I still can and to help shed a few pounds. The last time I did it with any real vindication, I was in college. I dropped two sizes in about thirty days and felt great. I haven’t been  serious about taking on a diabetic diet again since then – until now.

My childbearing is over, at least for a few years. My teaching career is on hold for a year. I’ve finally got a bit of time to exercise and focus on myself, so its time that I do.

I’m going cold turkey. I’m quitting sugar.
