Greetings to all those just starting the No S diet lifestyle. This time of year
everyone is looking for a shot in the arm to get their life on the right
track.
I found the No S diet thru a friend about a year and a half ago. Believe me, when I
am not following the guidelines, my waistline suffers. This really works. So stick
with it.
My New Year's Resolution is not exactly about weight but factors in. I read a feature
in a local paper a few weeks ago about a 96-year-old woman who does not take any
prescription drugs. That blew me away. I thought, "Is it possible?"
Everyone I know over 50, including my dear husband, takes medication for their heart,
sugar, blood pressure....the list goes on. And all those are directly related to
weight control. I know there are some factors besides lifestyle that contribute to
these health conditions. But let's be honest. Consider your family members who are
overweight. What are their medical conditions? Do they take prescription drugs? Now,
count the ones who are at an ideal weight. Short list in my family. What are their
medical conditions? Which group is better off?
Okay, enuf grand standing. Back to my resolution. I am 40 years old, and am
committing to growing old gracefully without the dependence on prescription drugs.
Who can afford them anyway? I realize anything can happen down the line, but I plan
to do my part now to keep the only body I was given healthy and thriving.
Best wishes for a healthy and blessed 2005!
