I've been bad for the last year thinking I should enjoy what little life I have left, it's hard to change your lifestyle. I'm not very close with my family and I haven't had a meaningful relationship in ages. I know your life is what you make of it, and I woke up today wanting it to be more. I don't think I can do it by myself though, which is what brought me here....any advise would be greatly appreciated

Bradbly, I had a heart attack a few weeks back. It has emotionally beat me up. I'm terribly grouchy, mostly worry about not working and no income.
I do know one thing. I try as hard as I can to trust in God and ask hin for daily strength. My mood, if not induced chemically, is mostly my responsibility based on the way I look at things.
I am only one person, but standing on your own keeps it one person. I love people and enjoy talking to people when I'm in a good mood. I need help from others and am working towards accepting it.
Lifestyles are hard to change. I'm 53 and I went for Alcohol rehab when I was 42. I'm still sober and have quit smoking over 9-years ago. I never thought any of this was possible until i asked for help.
May God help you.

hi there.... i know that sometimes it is challenging to do the right thing as far as eating and exercise... but it is worth it to feel better and live longer. The big thing is for it not to seem like a punishment but to learn how to do it with style, deliciousness, and enjoyment. That is the part that takes some doing. You have to figure out foods that you like, find easy to cook or like to cook, snacks you love, and put it all together so you enjoy that part of life again. Ordering food at restarants can be dealt with too... believe me :) As far as exercise, i am not so great at it yet, but i keep having issues since my attack, so only have had several ok times to walk. But i am in retail management, so walk on my feet all day, which counts a little. Take care of yourself... it is not over, it has just begun. Believe me, it took me a while to not be afraid, and think what the heck, but i have now met people much much older than us that leave us in their dust with alot of health problems, so i got back in the saddle. Take care.... pam
