A cliche' that will keep me on my toes for january. I guess ill have to change my mantra because by then 2007 wont be as new. Im pleased to announce that ive started my journey towards a healthy lifestyle. For years,ive been rolling my eyes and completely dissing my friends' pleas for me to stop living the way i did... no sport,no exercise,no diet because of fear of ulcer...Ive been a lazyass all my life,kain-tulog-kain! as someone told me...my life can be defined in two words: blessed complacency! steadier than steady!that's me, but now i have decided to take action!I realized ill be turning 20 this year so that means another year closer to my metabolism slowdown and sugar buildup. Ive been dealing w/ a sugar problem for years now...it has been such an addiction that ive become incredibly dependent on it causing mood swings and even migraines! i start shaking once i go through sugar withdrawal. ive taken it for granted for so long but after a recent dental appointment,that's when i realized i had to fix it.My dentist told me i have a serious sugar problem (but not diabetes huh?)and that its already evident in my gums! my gums? these blasted gums sold me out!so thats when it hit me.Im very indulgent,esp wih food but this has to scare me especially since most of my family suffered from diabtes. Sigh. Ligh is tough...but it gets easier.
