- Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!
Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.
The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!
Cruelty
Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.
Never Give Up, Never Surrender!
That's a line from one favourite silly movies of all time, Galaxy Quest. Not a great movie but I love it and this line just grabs me by the throat every time!
Never Give Up, Never Surrender! Yes your day has been horrible, you've had a row with your husband/partner/best friend/kids or whoever. It's bloody well raining again and the car won't start. The kids need picking up from school and you've had such busy day that there's nothing for tea yet. And guess what....it's YOU who has to do all that! It probably isn't just you but that's how it feel sometimes
_________________________ That's a blank space for you to fill in for your own mess ups.
But know what? No matter what dreadful stuff has happened today, no matter who has messed up your life there is always one thing that's constant ...your diabetes. Stress will affect your levels as well as driving you towards the stuff you know isn't good for you. But no matter, NO MATTER, what you do today, your diabetes will still be the same, still there to be dealt with and with you for the rest of your life.
So I suppose what I'm saying is don't use it as an excuse to duck out of your diabetes responsibilities. There's no-one else who can do what you have to do every single day. Even if you give in and don't do what you know is right, the stuff that drove you to it in the first place will still be there to be dealt with. The kids will still have to be picked up, the vacuum still has to be shoved around the blasted floor and ______________________________, yep another blank
Give yourself a break won't yah? But never from the stuff that will help you because ultimately if you feel fantastic then all the other stuff really doesn't seem so bad
Every day when I wake up I am glad. Really? No not really, some days I just want to stay in bed and some days I get it so wrong I just can't see how I will ever get it right again but I take inspiration from my friends on here, some of whom are awe inspiring, and give myself a kick up the backside, get out of bed and do my best.
