Hi Michelle - how are you doing?
I was already making pretty good food choices at the time of my dx - a few years prior my mom was dx w/ breast cancer (2003) then colon cancer (2005) - it was around that time when I really turned in to a bit of a 'health food nut'. I never really at a lot of processed foods / fast foods/ 'heat and eat' instant meals (mostly because I'm pretty cheap and it kills me to spend money on the stuff!). I certainly did have a weakness for sweets, and carbs. with Coke being my favorite sin. But after mom's heath issues I really cleaned up my act. (Mom has been cancer free ever since :)
The changes that I have made is to pay more attention to exercise - while I've never been overweight - I've also never exercised on a regular basis even though I realized the importance.
I've also started to look at stress management - I stared a yoga class this fall and it's wonderful.
Please let us know how things are going for you ,
Hugs, Jo
