A New Motivation

I am diabetic. Type two. My doctor and I have it pretty well under control. In fact he told me this last week that my latest average blood sugar was nearly non-diabetic. The problem is that it is being controlled by drugs and as of the latest addition of Actos will now cost me around $200 per month. This is unacceptable to me.

Type two is very weight sensitive. I weigh less now than I ever have in my adult life. 277.5 lbs as of this morning. Before you say, “holy shit fatass,” you should know that I am 6’ 4“ and large framed. My ideal weight would be between 200 and 220 pounds. None of the other motivations have helped me lose weight, perhaps drug dependancy and the loss of cash every month will be the motivational straw on this camel’s back. From now on every time I put something in my mouth I will think about how it is killing me financially an what I could be doing with that money. I like doing fun stuff with my money, so it might just work.

I’ll let you know.
