My Success Story:
I am a 37 yr old mother of two teens and a wife of 19 yrs now. I stay home and take care of the home needs of the family. I am a type 2 diabetic , Have been since I was in mid 20's. I also have high blood pressure , high triglyceride's and kidney stones in both kidneys that have to be removed.
When I was 12 i think was the last time I was slim. When I was a child I loved grill cheeses, chocolate milk, bean burritos. Lets just say the word vegetables was unknown to me . When I was 6 my father remarried and things changed out went my favorit food, in came all new things.
There are 9 kids in my dads family out of the 9 ,, 8 are diabetic including my father . I was doubly cursed I found out on my birth mothers side there are even more diabetics. NowI know that just cause of the genetics didnt mean that it was gaurentied that I would become diabetic but with the add fact of my being over weight plaid a big factor.
I have seen many of my aunt and uncles and cousin die from this diese and I dont entend on my kids or husband dealing with that because of my stupidity. I quit smoking 2 yr on May 12 of this yr , cold turkey!
NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO HELP MY SELF AGAIN AND LOOSE THIS WEIGHT!!!!
I hope beyond all hope that this is the day I start my new life and begin a new, with alot of determination ,suport and a little luck I hope that in 1 yr I will be able to report that I am healthy and no longer having to take medication.
I am 198 today, my goal for this time next yr 130 :)
