Before After

Wake up Call!!!

 am starting over for the last time. The reason I say this, is today from this day on my life is changing! It is becoming life or death like back when I smoked 4 packs a day and finally said enough I want to live. I was starting to feel the effects of smoking. Just like I am getting the effects of being obese. I know I was quiet this past week, I was doing some soul searching and getting my mind right, if you know what I mean. I had went to the doctor and she said I was 1 point away from type 2 diabetes, so right now I am classified as pre diabetic and she put me on blood sugar meds. No way do I want to get type 2 diabetes, my hubby has it and he has to prick his fingers all the time. I already have to give myself and allergy shot once per week and I take BP, Cholestol, Birth Control, Gerd, Vitamins, Viactiv, etc.. now BS pills. I am soooooooooo tired of meds, money wise and side effects. So, it stops today!!!! My weigh in today was 285. My doctor said for me to walk even on days I overeat on my calories. I know life is not perfect and I will still have days that I don't do perfect with my choices but I will forgive myself and go on and know it is what I do most of the time that matters not all the time. So be ready to see the new shrinking me!!!!

My goals for the week are:
Calories: 1800
1 free day
Steps: 6000
(treadmill, leslie, etc)
1 rest day

We can all do this together, thank you Sparkpeople and all my wonderful freinds!!!!   Visit me anytime at:  www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp

You can do it!

Good luck with your fresh start!

You've got the right mindset!!

My DH has Type2 diabetes as well and it is tough.  After he was diagnosed last year, and the fact that he isn't overweight, it really got me thinking about how overweight I am and that our 3 kids could have two parents with diabetes and that's helped kicked me into gear also. 

 

Hugs

I am fortunate I never got any of those things with being so overweight.

(( HUGS )) and good luck on your new start!!

You Can Do It!!!!!!

I know that you can make this happen.  If you quit smoking 4 packs of cigs. a day you can do anything.  Good Luck,

Hugs to you.
