Trying to do the healthy thing
Excerpt:
Let me tell you a little story about accountability.
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Deborah. That girl had some stomach problems that she didn’t realize were problems, until her fairy godmother stepped in and said: “Deborah, you have ulcers. We’re going to kill off this ulcer-giving bacteria and help you keep the reflux it’s caused in check! We’ll do this with a wave of my magic wand!”
OK, so that girl was me. The “fairy godmother” was really my doctor. The magic wand? A prescription pad. Same idea.
Like many fairy godmothers, my doctor’s magic came with caveats: There are still some things you must do to ensure this magic keeps working!
I heeded her advice fervently, for at least 33 hours. I’m nothing if not a willpower machine.
