I've been having a "bad" week. I always reflect before my birthday..just something I do. A lot has happened in a few short months. In August I was diagnosed with CHF. And May 14th I had a stent put in. Since the day my doctor stood at the foot of my hospital bed and said..."if you don't change your life, you will die", I have done everything the doctors said..not one drop of caffeine, low salt, low fat diet. And I have lost 50 pounds to date. I've gone through the depression of feeling as if my body let me down. And I decided I don't want to die. But this week...I have been eating things I shouldn't...I've been ANGRY....I've been edgy and down right mean. I have a VERY stressful job and I just want to scream at people on the phone. I don't know why I'm doing this...and I don't know what went wrong. Today is my birthday and we will see how today is. I have to work. And Monday, I start cardiac rehab. Maybe that is what I need to start moving forward again.
