New health start

New beginning

I had to get a new general practice doctor because my insurance would not cover my visits with my old doctor anymore. I met my new doctor yesterday. He is nice and I think he is pretty competent. I weighed 318lbs. I really need to lose weight and I have to be serious this time. I am 52 years old, have Type II diabetes and am obese.  My self image is important to me and has kept me from accepting opportunities in my past. I am not confident in myself and my poor self image is part of this. So I am making a new health beginning with this new doctor.

Behaving myself

Going forward I am going to try and behave myself in my eating. It can get so easy to slip and eat junk food. So far, I have given up colas, and alcohol. I only drink black coffee, water and sometimes milk. Rarely I do indulge in a few beers. I do like beer, but I don’t drink it every day. Every few weeks Ill have maybe two or three beers at one setting. I will have to reduce carbs. Sugar, I never had an issue with. I don’t have a sweet tooth. Sugar is the worst food substance you can eat. At times I will have a piece of cake or a donut. Very rarely do I eat sugar. I do also like gummies. But not every day. In the past I lost 50lbs eating lean, un processed meats, vegetables, fruits and avoiding breads and pasta. I also drink seltzer water instead of juices or colas. Also when I lost 50lbs, I was eating one meal a day. I am not sure if I can stick with eating only one meal a day, but I do have to cut down on the amount of snacks I have been eating.

I should prepare myself

I am 52 years old. I should now prepare myself incase I get any future opportunities to travel or go out West to Utah or if I get any opportunities to meet “my one true friend”. This way, I will look more presentable for that person and also I will be more at ease and comfortable with myself living in my own skin. I feel if I am more comfortable my true self will come out. I think inside of me somewhere there is such a brightness, such a bright light of energy. I really want to show it off to “certain people”. I really am  a funny guy, or I can be a funny guy. Witty and semi smart. I want to show my true self to my “one true friend”. Maybe one day, they know more than me so far. I hope “my one true friend” will reach out to me one more time in the future while I am kicking around my home town.   I hope “my one true friend” linked to Ingalls is reading this. I would love a face to face introduction.  I promise not to disappoint.
