Ugh...I have a few things in common with previous posters: MAJOR sweet tooth (is this a CF thing? I'm starting to wonder), hate, hate HATE cleaning (my house is a pig sty), really weak with the exercise, and have a bit of a druggie past, lol
None of those things concern me very much though. My biggest issue with myself these days is overextending. I make too many commitments and feel so many obligations (particularly to friends and family) that I wear myself out way more than is healthy. Since joining this site, I've become 100% compliant with my meds, nebs, etc., but this makes it even HARDER to fulfill all of my commitments outside of CF. Before, if I needed that extra half hour of sleep, I'd just skip a treatment.
The other thing I do that I shouldn't is play down the severity of my CF. Perhaps people wouldn't ask so much of me if they actually knew how difficult it was for me to go, go, go all the time. It's difficult to expect those who love me to understand when I've told them over and over things like, "it sounds a lot worse than it is" or "I can do anything anybody else can." The truth is, I want to believe those things myself - I guess it's a form of denial. But when it comes down to it, I really CAN'T do everything that everybody else can do.
So those are my confessions - for now anyway <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
