I'm turning 50 next month and feeling really anxious about my health and future. My doctor recently told me I'm pre-diabetic and need to make some major lifestyle changes. I've never been great at sticking to diets or exercise routines. My job is stressful and I worry about being able to keep up as I get older. Healthcare costs keep going up and I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford the care I need. Most of my friends seem to be doing fine health-wise, while I'm struggling with weight gain, high blood pressure, and now pre-diabetes. I don't know how to turn things around at this point in my life. The thought of developing serious health issues and not being able to work is really stressing me out. I feel like I've wasted years not taking better care of myself. Anyone else feeling overwhelmed about their health as they get older? How do you stay motivated to make positive changes?
