Introduction Text I am 66, from Alberta, Canada. I just read this quote and love it so thought I would share.... "A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier." Tom Stoppard I have T2 Diabetes, high cholesterol, and some heart related problems. I am trying to learn how to make more healthy choices where food is concerned.

My weight fluctuates so much due to water retention (edema) I would like to be able to not have to take water pills (diuetics) If I lose a few pounds along the way - well bonus.

I must limit sodium intake so I have to read labels on EVERYTHING. As a result of sodium being in everything (canned, or prepared) in such high amounts, I am trying to learn how to make my own soups (a great standby in the winter) I am also trying to force myself to prepare more fresh vegies (I don't mind some fruits but have never liked veggies before) But I am learning!



Quote I love: A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier. Tom Stoppard
