[QUOTE="Duncandl, post: 3886772, member: 4389"] My wife and I are currently eating better for the 4th or 5th time over the last few years and we have come to realize, at least I have, that until you make the decision to eat better it doesn’t matter what opinions are out there. We have attempted all of the crazy eating fads believing each time that this is the one! Until we stop believing a few weeks into our new life. We grew up with the meat and potato parents on my side and Ronald McDonald was possibly having an affair with my mother in law, lol. So we are opposites in how we grew up and what was drilled into our guts. I had kidney disease and got up close to 300 pounds while being treated by the Navy and was very fortunate to not be medically retired before hitting the 20 year mark. I walked away from that with insight that no matter how many times I heard about diabetes, seeing it in the same waiting room I was sitting in made me sit up straight and relearn what I thought I knew. I encourage all of you to visit a Nephrologist office and see who is sitting in there with ankles oozing puss and blood from edema that stretches your skin beyond capacity. I had a choice, I made a choice and hope that I live a long life without ever seeing that again. It was a hard wake up call and I love to eat, lol. If you are serious there are great resources right here in Okc to help you out, I bought a book and even though we mess up our eating plan once in a while with trash food we recognize what that food makes us feel like rather than before and get back on the healthier side as soon as possible. Good luck, great questions and consider your audience when reading their replies, don’t get discouraged because it’s never too late until it is too late. [/QUOTE]
