At the beginning of 2008, the wifey and I made a habit of going to the gym 3-4 times a week.
We were feeling great, lookin' good and being stealth. Then life took over.
With the kids' hectic schedule, overtime followed by undertime (the layoff), and so many other factors prohibited our visits to the local sweatshop.
Prior to our gym appointments, I felt okay in regard to my health but wanted to look better and feel better.
Since the workouts ended, I've maintained a decent diet of low fat lunches, baked dinners, and oatmeal for breakfast.
But even with eating better, I'm feeling worse.
I've recently started suffering from migraines, occasional pains, and a constant need to drink lots of water.
I'm scheduling a doctor's appointment, but WebMD tells me something that I didn't want to know.
EARLY ONSET DIABETES.
I've got two words.
AH HELL NAH!
Proof that eating right means little since I eat minimal sugars and rarely max over 1600 calories with a 2 soda a month maximum.
And it's more proof that it can happen to anyone.
I recommend everyone getting tested and have a physical every year.
I'm going back to the gym, pronto.
Anyone who wants to join me, feel free. The more the merrier.

I hope everything works out for you.
Cheer up, maybe the migraines are because of a brain tumor.
Like Shauna said, there's plenty of diseases you could have, don't limit yourself to diabetes. Thyroid, kidney... hey, if it's thyroid they'll give you drugs that make you lose weight!
I want to have a super rare disease that gets me on the discovery channel.
Hey, man. I'll be pulling you for that Discovery Channel stuff. No doubt I'd see it, because I'm obsessed with rare diseases.
On a different note, if it diabetes the lowfat diet could actually encourage diabetic episodes. Lowfat foods tend to be higher in sugar, and most often they aren't natural sugars. This means nothing until you're actually tested, because there are definitely people destined to be diabetic regardless of their diet.
If it is diabetes, you and I need to talk on a more private level.
Let me know. I hope everything works out for you.
