“Why do people with high cholesterol keep eating nasty, fatty foods? I do because I like them. I won’t lie. I’m a sucker for cheese. I love things that are fried. And the more butter, the better. I eat the way I do because I enjoy it. I know I could stop. I know I could change my habits. I know I could exercise. But the honest reason I don’t is simple: I don’t want to. Those things are unpleasant to me and I’d rather just keep stuffing my fat face because those things make me happy.”

If that’s not me taking responsibility I don’t know what it is. Please READ the post before responding to it.

loser…value life? …why don’t you just say you are fucking lazy to alter your eating habit? if you don’t have the willingness to alter it, you have to take resposibility of it… this is the way how life works. Don’t blame anyone, or afraid any outcome that will come, because they are all courses of your action, so take resposibility and live with it…old man!

Ah yes the “other conditions.” While it’s true that since the incident, I’ve been on a few “medications” but who could fault me?

Better Living Through Chemicals!

I think you’re forgetting the other “conditions” for which you require meds. Haha.

Hmmmm.

Cholesterol 85
Resting heart rate 58
BP 118/78 (well, with meds anyway)

Knowing that getting older is not the end of the world but I can sure see it from here. Priceless!

Melissa: You’re not alone. I think a lot of people (myself included) don’t consider eating and/or exercising habits “risky”. You also raise a very good point: it is selfish. And I can understand the way other people might feel watching someone they care about go through the slow, painful death. But I sometimes have to wonder if it doesn’t fall into the selfish for self category of behaviors. Maybe it doesn’t. Maybe I’m just trying to make excuses for myself.

Katie: It doesn’t take a lot to make you happy… does it? Haha.

Totally understandable…and selfish.

Understandable because we like to do the things we enjoy; what feels good. We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow but we know that the chocolate cake is going to taste damn good right now. I’m not one to engage in any kind of ‘risk taking’ behavior myself, but I forget (or repress) that not eating healthy and excercising is risky, too.

And, it’s selfish because most of us have people who care about us and want us to live long healthy lives so the slow, painful death could affect them too. But, my Mother passed away from an aneurism at the age of 22 and I hope she ate the cake and enjoyed it without worry because you never know what’s in store for you.
