This is the beginning of my journey. I have finally decided it is time to show up for life. It is time to take my health seriously before it is too late. I was diagnosed as a diabetic 9 years ago. The first 5 years I kept fooling myself that I could control it with diet. Then the doctor put me on oral medications, now I am on injections of insulin and take 3 different types. My blood glucose readings are still in the 200's.
I have to take care of me. My only concern is complications. Years ago when the weight loss surgeries became so popular you heard 1 out of 5 ended up in death. Now, it has been improved upon so much, with so many different types of surgery as well. My sister has the gastric sleeve October 2006 and has lost 160 pounds. She is 10 years younger than me. I will soon be 47 and I want to be healthy enough just to be able to take a simple walk, to be able to get on the floor and play with my dog and my grandchildren someday when I have them.
I believe God has shown me a sign that this is the path I am to take. Just very scared. But I know I can do this. I know I can!
