Natural sugar may be the way to go

After my last post, it is ironic to post that my father, who really needs to lose a few pounds spent yesterday at the hospital. He was having trouble breathing. We have all asked and begged him to lose some weight, but until you make up y our mind yourself it just doesn't work. My father has not been to Emerg since... well, the '70's when he broke his arm.

The Doctor's aren't exactly sure what is wrong with him, but he did have fluid in his lungs and possibly has some congenital heart failure. Possible. The interns wanted to check him in yesterday, but when the doctor finally showed up at midnight, she saw no reason for him to stay. He will however have to go to the Heart Institute for further testing. The Doctor did say one thing for sure... you must lose weight Mr.

And so it begins again. My Sister's and I have decided that he needs an intervention. We have all agreed to help him by giving up our treats, etc. as well. He gets to eat way more calories than my sisters and I but, we will go at it with him and help him in anyway possible. He won't have to join a gym because we have one here in our house. So, he will have to work out, like it or not.

So again, I will give up my sweets and hope that some fresh fruit full of all things sugary and natural will have to do. If I can't do it, there is no way I can expect my Dad to.
