I Love You Diabetes But...

Dear Diabetes,

I love you for motivating me to live a healthier life and to take better care of myself. You have probably saved my life. I love it when you talk to me and tell me that I cannot have a candy bar or that I should go for another walk. I love it when you encourage me to lose weight and to eat a proper diet.

But… I must confess to you that I am a cheater. Yes, its true …I cheat on you with bbq sauce, salad dressing and an occasional cookie. I cheat on you each and every week at lunchtime on Saturdays. You see, you might be beating me sometimes but in the end you will NEVER fully win. I will fight you for full flavor, treats and snacks. I will fight you by losing weight and eating better. I will fight you diabetes for MY LIFE. You cannot take it and you will not because I will fight you until my last breath. Each day I get stronger and one day you will not rule my life the way you do now. But instead, you will become a simple reminder that I will keep forever in my mind. Sure I will live by your rules; but not always. You will NEVER win this battle.

So, yes I do love you diabetes but…. I am and always will be a stubborn, motivated and fiesty person… and I WILL cheat on you.

Sincerely,

"The Cheater"
