What I’ve learned from my first diet

1 week ago | osceolasun.com | Matt Anderson

When I was growing up, I never imagined going on a diet. I’ve been very fortunate (so far, anyway) to have a relatively high metabolism. So, other than a few periods of my life, weight has hardly been an issue. But I hadn’t considered other reasons that might push me to go on that dreaded “D” word. Alas, here I am on a diet. If you’ve read this column regularly in the last year, you probably know about my long bout with a disease called Sarcoidosis.

Reality does not always match up with fantasy. My fantasy, once I finally sold my first novel, was that I would print my book in hard copy (which I never do) and carry it out of my office and go somewhere with it—maybe a coffee shop!I would sit at a table in a coffee shop and read my manuscript on real paper with a red pen in hand and review it with care, while sipping my coffee, thoughtfully editing a chapter or two a day until I was confident that everything was to my complete satisfaction.

Scandia residents are soon to have medical care in their hometown – again. After the closure of the former Osceola Medical Center in Scandia five years ago, a new center is set to open in the coming year.
