Do not lose your Health getting wealthy --

Sometimes when we are so engrossed with our work that we sometimes delay, skip or even forget a meal because we want to finish our work... It has happened to me many times and one time after i had lunch at 3pm, i had stomach ache until late that evening. It got me worried and have wished i have not skipped lunch that day. My next other meals i have to eat little by little or else i will have again the stomach pain. It lasted for some weeks before i got back to normal meals. So if you are one workaholic person, contemplate on this - do not lose your Health getting wealthy or you'll soon lose your wealth trying to get healthy again. Has anyone of you been neglecting his health lately for the sake of earning a living?? Was it worth it or did you regret it?

I was sleeping during lunch because I needed to keep my job and I felt so terrible that if I didn't get that nap, I couldn't work the rest of the day. But then there was the day I had a car accident because my blood sugar was too low. After that, after my nap, my boss let me eat at my desk because she didn't want me missing work because of a car accident because of low blood sugar and she knew I needed the nap just as much as the food.

I worked over 30 years, rarely eating lunch. And I rarely ate breakfast. And many times I'd go without dinner, when I was working late. I got use to it. I know it wasn't healthy, but I had too much work to do...and I didn't get wealthy.

LOL where did all the money go? I hope you are now eating all the meals that you have missed before.

I put all the money I had in to building a house and my retirement account... And yes, I'm eating somewhat better than I did...and I'm gaining weight to prove it.

My partner works long hours and I have to make sure that he has proper meals. I make him a packed lunch to take with him and always ensure there is a cooked dinner in the evening. I know that without his packed lunch he would probably not be able to eat properly, he's too busy to stop and leave the building to buy a lunch.
