So I have a feeling I'm diabetic

12. I'm 75, which I suppose is elderly.

Several years ago I dropped 30 - 40 pounds simply by eating less, every day. How bizarre is that?

One huge problem in our culture is that restaurant meals are HUGE, far beyond what anyone actually needs. But most people eat all or most of those meals. And we're surprised we're all overweight?

Plus there's things like soft drinks. Some times when I'm in the grocery store I'm astonished at how many of those huge things of soft drinks people have in their carts. I stopped buying soft drinks about 35 years ago, when I realized my young son was consuming far more of them than was good. It annoyed me a lot, because I like soft drinks, but I gave them up. Not a problem, as it turned out. These days, the only times I have a soft drink is when on a long distance drive, and I'll get one just to control my thirst. Other than that, I haven't had a soft drink in decades. And I don't miss them.
