Sheila, I totally get where you are coming from, but I have to disagree. We only have a short time here on earth. Therefore, for that reason I am going to have that piece of cake, or whatever I like. That's not to say what you are saying/doing is wrong!! Everyone is entitled to do and be as they please. I just don't like it that way for me. I understand that you had cancer and you beat it (Thank God!!). I just believe that we should all be happy. When I try eating healthy, I gain weight, not lose it. It causes me such stress, that I end up eating even more, which is detrimental to my health. It also makes me unhappy and it also compounds the issues, because then I feel like a failure. So i decided, just like you decided to live healthy, to live happy. I get as much exercise as I'm able. I decided to live happy, not necessarily healthy. And for me, living happy works. Much better than living healthy!
You're right about living life to the fullest! Yes, have that piece of cake but not the whole cake. :) Don't deliberately do things that you'll pay for later down the road (smoking being at the top of that list, IMHO). I think you can be both healthy and happy, and it sounds like you are. Thanks for reading and responding!
I quit smoking 16 years ago and am extremely happy I did! :) My Mom died from lung cancer in 1998. I had quit right after she died for 13 months, but it didn't stick. I finally quit for good in 2001. Best thing I ever did!!
