A few days ago I was at work and I decided to sit with a co-worker of mine. I had bought some sweet things I probably shouldn't have been having. He looked at the label and said that he couldn't have that.
He told me he was diabetic.
Me too!
He got diagnosed a month ago.
Me too!!
He has to take Metformin and a few other pills.
Me too!!! ...kinda... (I only take Metformin.)
It made me think of the possibility of many others who are now becoming diabetic. I feel this is a wake-up call to society to go back to a more simpler way of eating. Mother nature is kicking our butts saying "Stop eating so much sugar!". It sounds simple but it seems hard...
What we put in our bodies is extremely important, and most of society puts 'food-like products' into their systems because that food is cheap and readily available. Processed food also takes the time out of having to actually prepare and cook your meals, but at the cost of ingesting chemicals that your body most likely will turn to fat.
I could go on a rant about food and your body, but I'll just stick with this one quote:
"If it comes from a lab, then it will take a lab to get it out of me."
To all the people who are just now starting your diabetic journey, or even a weight-loss one, I say welcome... and start eating healthier.
Stay sweet, but Not Too Sweet!
