Hi Folks,
I am questioning whether I should even try to live without any stimulants whatsoever. I am diabetic, therefore I Never have alcohol or sweets. My bladder is sensitive to caffeine, and I never have it---- With the heart condition, I avoid anything like chips or salty treats. I am lactose intolerant--no cheese or yogurt.
The one stimulant I allow myself is chocolate. The caffeine in solid form does not affect the bladder. I try to buy extra dark semi-sweet chocolate, which means less sugar and fat per unit. I must admit, I eat too much of it, but I wonder if it is even realistic to ask myself to live entirely without any stimulating intake of any sort.
It seems like an improper action, but with so many restrictions----well, there's only so much I can do. I feel tired and need some kind of help to pick up my energy.
Oh well! It is so easy for the Doctors to pile on these restrictions, but it is another thing to live with them. I try to limit my intake of chocolate, but once I get started, I seem to have a hard time stopping.
