Oh Shantel, I wasn;t wanting to sound like I was lecturing! As I said I would be a major hypocrite if I did as I haven't managed yet to make all the changes I have been recommended!
Particularly with the smoking - it seems changing diet has been easier for me than that - I think that giving up smoking for me will mean I have actually reached acceptance that I have this disease which may be why I am struggling with it.
I guess what i noticed about the food thing is people saying that such and such makes them REALLY sick but they eat it anyway and I can't imagine doing that, that's all.
No intention to offend anyone at all, and sorry if it came out that way!
Shaz the hypocrite
