They claim that it is not easy to live with the disease, that they have to make significant changes compared to how they lived before and then afterwards living with it day-to-day. ... Unfortunately, it's a very drastic change. That is, before the disease, I didn't take care of myself, but now I do, afterwards. Right now, I take good care of myself. I don't eat the same as before. I used to like eating lots of goat tacos, barbecue and meat pies. Every night I would go out and eat two or three plates of pozole a stew. I'd have a soft drink with every meal. I used to eat lots of tortillas and liked drinking beer to the point of excess. And the worst thing is that I did it a lot. All of these things are harmful. I used to really like soda pop, but now I've stopped. I don't drink any of that now. That's over for me. Today I think to myself: I'm sick, I've felt my body deteriorate and for this reason I take better care of myself...
... Lamentablemente es un cambio muy drástico, es decir, antes de la enfermedad, no me cuidaba, comía de todo, pero ahora sí, después, ahorita ya me cuido de verdad, no como lo de antes, me gustaba entrarle mucho que a los tacos de chivo, la barbacoa, las garnachas, iba todas las noches a cenar dos o tres platos de pozole, consumía un refresco por comida, consumía mucha tortilla, me gustaba tomar cerveza hasta perderme y lo malo que lo hacía muy seguido, y todas esas cosas que dañan, me gustaba mucho el refresco pero ahora después, ya lo dejé, ya no tomo nada de eso, eso ya está terminado para mí, hoy pienso: estoy enfermo, ahorita ya he sentido mi cuerpo decaído y es por eso que ya me cuido más...
