a diagnosis of diabetes type two.
Oh no, I say as visions of sugarplums
dance and disappear in my dreams.
How can I survive not eating
my favorite chocolates, pies, cakes,
cookies, and most of all ice cream?
It's possible to still eat them but only
in wisdom and moderation.

Being forced to consume calories

Fat chance-maybe loose some weight?
I wouldn't mind, my new regime
is to eat smarter, exercise more and
be healthier. All do-able with a lot of
will power and dedication each day.
