• That stuff will kill me

At first, my family and friends thought I was weird for not eating the carb stuff, and said so. Decades later they probably still think I'm weird but found talking about it is useless. And I'm the only one in my family less than 300 pounds.

It was never hard to be good around others. I just thought one of these two phrases

• I don't eat that anymore
• That stuff will kill me

And when offered I politely said, "No thank you."

Your body is the only vehicle you have to carry yourself through this life. If broken, sometimes you can repair it, but you rarely can actually fix it. Sometimes you can't even repair it. So prevention is the key.
