I have recently given up soda pop, fast food, salty snacks, orange juice, and I walk 1.5 miles every week-day. My wife makes me a lunch consisting of dark green and purple leaves that might as well be clippings robbed from the gardener.
As a result of all this, my blood glucose is down from 400-something (death’s door) to under 120 (pre-diabetic) and my weight is down from 335 pounds to 312. When I break 300, I’m going to see if I’ll fit on the roller coasters again.
Yay me.
However the more immediate effect is that, in order to lengthen my life, I had to stop living.
Every day, when I get back from my manic march, a co-worker used to ask, “How was the walk?” And every day, I’d respond, “Miserable as usual.” They finally got the message and stopped asking.

Wasn’t that a Ben Franklin quote? “All things in moderation, including moderation”.
