It's always nice to peep in your posts they don't bore me at all. 
I like your thought when you said, " life's too short to get too stressed". I do agree with you with this. 
On your questions: About 5 months ago I started my diet and workouts because during my studies I gained weight as much as 16 Kgs and I hate being in a situation of unfit and unhealthy. Then I decided to workout and follow diet plans. I followed and leave simple carbs and sugar obliviously and shifted my daily consume as complex carbs. I used to avoid things which are rich in unhealthy fats and carbs like junk food etc. After almost 3 months when I checked my weight I had lost 15 Kg from 86kg to 70.5 kg. After achieving what I wanted slowly I started to consume carbs- not in excessive amount- and sugar. I used to drink coffee and green tea but since temperature rises sometimes above 50 Celsius where I live so I had to leave those healthy drinks. Now after few months of leaving my diet and not caring about what I am consuming, I have gained 3 kg and enormous amount of heat is not letting me to do my workouts so I am waiting for summer to end. 

'life is too short to be too stressed' I totally agree with you in this regard but to stay happier in that shorter span, we really need to stay healthier. And you should be more careful with your diet because of your diabetes. I also have some cardiac related issues so I strictly keep myself away from oily foods and malnutrition plus I go for morning walk on daily basis. Morning walk has a lot of benefits and this should be adopted by everyone in their lifestyles. Take care of yourself and yes, the pizza looks delicious 😋

Did ya pay bitcoin for it? :)

AAAAhhhhhhhh.... I was waiting for that last line! 😁 You enjoyed it! I can figure out most of the toppings, but not all. What All is on that pie? Yuummmmm my weakness is Pizza. 

First and foremost, above taste is deciding to be as healthy as you can so as to survive to enjoy what life has to offer .. other than edible things. Nice point to the writing!

My girlfriend is also diabetic but can't help on not eating any sweets  tsk

I also watch what I eat. I indulge in the weekends, with pizza lol. I love the quattro formaggi a lot as I am not very much into meat. Ice cream.... Me like lol. I used to have this habit when I was a student in university to eat ice cream in the winter. I still do. In the summer everybody does it, it is no fun lol.
I know that with diabetes one has to watch their diet. This has made you responsible and commited to your well being. I also think the same in regards to my health although I have no diseases. I think about having a healthy lifestyle because I noticed I feel better when I eat, exercise and sleep better. I want to take care of myself and eating junk is no bueno

Pizzas are so nice, I eat a whole one for myself, so many calories!!

Don't trip Galen, I have enough rock hard body for both of us. All I do is drop comments like this and my biceps shred t-shirts right off me.

*That cover image.* Without divulging too much of my Hollywood roots, I'm probably the pickiest eater you've never met. Thank God my wife's a chef. I try to steer clear from pizza unless of course it's a veggie with cauliflower crust and no sugar in the sauce but there's a few occasions each year where I *really* let loose!

I'm talkin nuts! I've been known to, a few times a year at least, to drop the gloves and consume a fully loaded veggie slice on regular crust even and damn the thing's like dessert every time!

Tus comentarios me han hecho, reflexionar, en mi condición personal, soy afortunado, no padezco de enfermedades, pero estoy sedentario y eso me puede llevar a padecer el día de mañana, hay que valorar la vida desde un punto de vida consciente, es lo que me has transmitido, poder, autocontrol. Y sobre todo disciplina.

Oh Boy that pizza look so amazing good. Now I am hungry🙈

I'm at a similar age and use a similar strategy.   When given the option of pizza or salad, 90% of the time, I'll choose salad (and usually keep the dressing on the side).     But, when I do have pizza.  It's going to have all of the toppings I love.  Thin Crust, extra sauce - just the way I want it.    

I'll enjoy every bite!!!

I try to keep my regular plate roughly > 50% veg, > 25% lean protein and < 25% carbs.  But about once a week, I splurge - and  ...

My friend, I also have a sister who was diagnosed with diabetes and it is complex to maintain her diet, there you have to take care of yourself and maintain a diet low in sugar and carbohydrates. At first it was complicated but little by little we are all adapting to eating healthy although sometimes and with great concern we let her break her diet. Greetings and happy Sunday

Thats a lot of toppings right there!!!

Save me a slice, looks delish! It's ok to reward yourself with a treat once in a while when you pay attention the rest of the time. It probably saves on pig-out moments with a slow supply of goody foods.

Lost 15 Kilo in the last 5 months. Now I am in shape again. But a !PIZZA is always welcome.

I actually went completely plant based for a month, just to see. It definitely did me good, but the logistics were a pain. I'm scaling back to just standard vegetarian for about 6 months, see if that delivers most of the benefits. 
Crunchy garlic bread is my achilles heel. I can't walk past it.
