Eating & Sleep Apnea Mask

Wow, that was hard hitting, but oh so true. Thank you for being honest and blunt. I think I really needed to hear that. I am going to print out that e-mail and place it on my wall. Something that I will need to read and reread. I never really thought of it as an addiction, but that's what it really is. I just have to make that decision and stick with it! I checked my blood sugar this afternoon and it was higher then it has been in a long time. Made me stop and it kind of scared me. I know it is not that high for some people, but my numbers are not normally in the 200's.

Do it or don't. Okay! Although I do wish there was magic, but you are right there isn't any. I'm going to really think on this tonight. Maybe do some kind of journal on it. I did go to the store this afternoon and bought food that is on my diabetic plan. I really want to think on this some more tonight. I will write tomorrow and let you know what I have come up with (if anything at all). I have got to get my mind set on what is real and what will make me healthy. I don't want things to get worse and I do want things to get better. Again thank you for writing what you did. It opened my eyes. Yes, you are right. No one can make me do anything. I have to do this for myself.

I understand that place! But....no one can make you do anything...others don't really 'motivate'.. ... You are the only one who can do anything about you. The issues you describe may be complex, similar to addiction, but are not *deep*. Until we get some pill that makes it all easy, the only way 'out' is to 'just do it'. It's a decision: I'm just going to do it. Can't wait for it to be all easy, can't wait for the easy-peasy pill, can't wait for the motivation fairy, can't wait to "understand" it all. No amount of insight will do the whole work..you still gotta change the diet, etc. Simple. No excuses, no BS, delusions, illusions, don't wanna, why me...... that is the addiction talking...and has to be treated as such. If you don't want to do it...just say that...'I have the information and I don't care..not
going to happen.' OK...that's your right...but then don't complain, don't make believe you are doing anything to be well, you are choosing your addiction. I'm sorry you, we-all, have to deal this way...but there it is...just like other difficulties and tragedies of life...everybody has *something*..no one is bullet-proof re hard times and trouble, obstacles.

No magic here.. it's a decision to choose and support that part of you that knows what has to be done for your health, that wants to be well and healthy. "I'm just going to do what needs doing." No big mystery. No big
discussion. Do it or don't. That's it.
