Now its time to take charge of my own life... do things right...




Whether you are talking about managing a disease or just living life fully...these are significant words.

"MOTIVATION"

...that word seems to be a key factor in getting most anything done.

With Diabetes,the doctors try a little fear motivator, but the threat of losing limbs and eye sight doesn't seem to last long after you leave the doctor's office and start feeling a bit better... its very easy to slip into denial about Diabetes when you don't feel all that bad.

I am thinking that health is going to be like most everything else in life... it can become a habit to be healthy. Its all about choice.

Choice.

Motivation.

Anybody got some things you've tried to influence yourself to change?

The only thing that has ever worked for me is a right relationship with a power greater than myself. It may sound cheesy...but if not for that I'd a been dead a long time ago flowerforyou

I know a few diabetics. Two of them do the shots, and they all have very strict diets. One is sightless. They live totally normal lives. Dennis
