Jayeff, thanks for the great post
I know I'm the blame for my situation, I sit on the computer all day and even though I don't eat a lot of junk food between meals, I probably do have a little too much restaurant food in my diet which needs to be cut out. The thing with most people, it's easier said than done after being in the same lifestyle for so long.
High Cholesteral does run in my family, both my older brothers have it, as well as my father.
My doctor did give me the option to try to change things on my own without pills, but he also did that a year ago and not much has changed, even my old doctor 5 years ago, I was afraid to take the pills, so I said I'd try to change on my own, which never happend.
