Too many people are dying before their time, due to the fact that they wont take the small steps required to control weight problems, or do things to cut down the risk factors for coronary disease. <BR/>me for example- isuffered a severe heart attack in thefall of 2004, before I was 30. My attack was a sideeffect of the chemotherapy for brain cancer treatment. <BR/>I know that I ouhgt to ge off my butt and lower my body-fat %age, but, it is easier for me to act lazy, and use the cancer as an excuse. I am still weak and sick from the cancer, but, I need to WILL myself to go out and work out,and get fitter. But getting over the inertia can be really hard too.<BR/>Danny in Ann ArborAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
