Good for you JohnD54. Personally I was quite sanguine about reading that my smoking habit could cut my lifespan by about 10 years. Most of those would be the gaga-sitting-in-a-wet-patch ones, I argued. Then diabetes enters the equation and takes another 6 off (correct me, if I am reading the more scaremongering articles). It was all getting a bit personal.
@Helsin,
I know where you are coming from, however I have been quite fortunate so far, smoking no problems, D2 no ill effected SOFAR, but decided at 60 with 5 children it might be time to think about family, hence the change of lifestyle. I do mean lifestyle carbs & sugar no go, smoking no go.
What the outcome will be no one knows, but I do know I have been lucky with health and family, and having made the decision to change I feel I have to get on with it.
I still have 3 daughters to see married and their children, so having told my wife when we married some 23 years ago that I would live to be 100, feel I now need to put some effort into it.
Good luck and a healthy life for you all,the very best.
