Pat Summitt Diagnosed With Early Onset Dementia

This is OT, in the sense that it has nothing to do with weight loss, but I'm so devastated by this news that I just have to vent.

Pat Summitt was born in 1952. That meansshe's only 59. 59! And she just announced today that she'd been diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia (aka Alzheimers.)

Of all the diseases that there are, this has got to be one of the worst.

The absolute worst, of course, would be to have a functioning mind inside a body that can't move - that would be pure hell.

But Alzheimers is close. And Early Onset Alzheimers - Summitt could live another 40 years easily...40 years of not knowing her name, not remembering how to get dressed or go to the bathroom...

And she knows its coming...

God this is so awful.

Moral of the story - Don't obsess on how much you bloody weigh! - enjoy your life. Do good things with your life. Because you never know when it could be all over.
