Acid Reflux
Pain in my butt. I used to have diet soda all the time. I am not saying it is the healthiest thing, but it was my thing that I had that helped me stay away from sweets. Eventually, I had to stop because it was drying me out as a singer. Even more so, I had to completely give it up when my acid reflux came into play at the age of 27. In fact, when my acid reflux became a true problem, I had to give up a lot of things. I think is was a blessing and a curse at the same time. Being a food addict, I would many times say “to he– with it” and eat the wrong foods that would upset my stomach. Needless to say, I would get sick and go through a few days of recovery from the binge. As time has passed, my body has reacted more and more severely. In the end, I cannot do the binges like I used to because I don’t want to get sick. I have pushed my body to its limits many times and I just can’t do it anymore. Feeling sick is far from appealing to me. I am not trying to say or act like it has been easy. It has been a struggle and learning experience at the same time. But most of all, it has a been a blessing. I think G-d is making sure that I take better care of myself.
