a spoonful

There was a scary news bulletin yesterday about the rise of diabetes. I'm aware I eat too much sugar so did well today to cut down. Its hard tho and I find it tricky to make the call. Is it worth living a life of denying myself what i most enjoy if I then end up being run over by a bus or we all get wiped out by some nuclear war? Conversely, if I don't act now will I be rueing on my untimely deathbed not getting longer with my grandchildren? I guess the trick would be to try and alter what I want so that I don't feel like in denying myself.
