A Sad Reminder: RIP Margo Dydek

It is a story like this that reminds me of why I am on this diet and working so hard to lower not just my weight, but ultimately my cholesterol.

Former WNBA Star Suffers Heart Attack, Dead at Age 37

I am not sure why she suffered a heart attack or if she had high cholesterol, but ever since I realized what cholesterol actually was (blocking of the arteries that pump blood to the heart), I have been afraid of suffering a similar fate.

I may not love every day of my life or all parts of it at all times, but I love my life and I don't want this to happen to me because I was more interested in eating ice cream and cheeseburgers in my 20s than taking care of my self and my health.

RIP Margo Dydek.
