Hi Cyber Babies,
I know you are smart enough to begin making your P.H.D. (Personal Health Decisions). I hear you thinking... "I don’t have time, I am too busy, It’ll cost too much." Well let me share this with you; you have to MAKE the time! Don’t ever be that busy. If you don’t start now it will be costly. You take care of everybody else: your spouse/significant other, children, parents, faith members, neighbors, strangers. You will even take care of your ex-husband and his new wife’s baby before you will take care of you. We are losing far too many beautiful, talented women too soon to so many diseases and maladies simply because, you don’t take care of yourself. And YOU know who you are!! You will go 100 miles an hour everyday, juggle work, kids, home, church, social calendars. You’ll wait, make excuses, don’t want to hear bad news, maybe you don’t have adequate medical insurance to go see the doctor about what is ailing you. Ponder this thought... “When something happens to me, what will happen to them?” Especially if you are a person who everyone depends on for everything. Where is your ME time?
I know first hand what not making my P.H.D. meant. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in 1990. I wouldn't even call it Diabetes; it was “A Little Sugar”. I know that “A Little Sugar” will cause you to suffer mental health issues, loose your lower limbs, go blind, suffer renal failure, have a stroke, heart attack or worse pre-mature death. I have family members who have lost limbs, their eyesight and are off the planet at very early ages. I would not want anyone of you fabulous girlfriends to have to suffer through that kind of loss. You are in charge!! Take command!! Make your P.H.D. and make them count!!
Get your head in a good place so you are better able to take of you. Take a walk to clear your mind of all the clutter and keep your heart pumping. If you can cook, make time to do it. I find that I am really good at making healthy recipes that are flavorful and fun. I say get in that kitchen and use those gadgets! For those people who are not working with you on your vision of better health, kick them to the curb. It's time for like-minded girlfriends to be in your corner. You can start with Me! I love you and there is nothing you can do about it! “Let’s Get Better Together!!”
