I had an interesting visit with the occupational doctor who checked me over for my new job. He was such a genuine person. It would be a good thing to have all doctors so real.

He was sympathetic with my weight problem as he, too, battles weight. He is from a family of heavy people and works so hard to keep himself at just fifty pounds overweight. (I thought he looked fine, but I'm sure he is going by the scale.)

There is not a good future for diabetics; he zeroed in on that area of my health problems. If I ever feel like quitting my exercise program, may his words ever ring in my ears.
