This has been a rocky month for me. The reason for my headaches and nausea was high blood pressure. It's hereditary. I used to have it in high school but afterwards it got better, now its rearing its ugly head again. I was153/100 (and for those who don't know what that means, it means I nearly became a walking heart attack waiting to happen). I've gone down some but I'm still borderline.

The doctors have me on prescription meds but I also need to lose weight. I thought walking laps on the track and eating less portions were enough but it's only a start. And asking my family and friends, I either get an "I don't know" or guilt trips for getting in this bad condition at a young age.

I usually go to KFC or Sonic's and so on for lunch but I'm planning to take my own lunch from now on if I can apply for food stamps.

And the only thing I'm guilty of is eating sweets; I'd laid off the doughnuts, cakes, and sodas but I'll get a candy bar now and again.

If anyone's losing weight or have lost weight or a health expert, I'd appreciate some advice or goals I should set to lose these pounds.

...and those who keep saying that I look good the way I am now, if you want to take care of me after I had a stroke or cry over my casket, keep on telling me that!!!!!
