Not much to know about me... I live in Oshawa Ontario, I work a stressful, but by no means a hectic runaround job...
I live with my husband and my two dogs, the loves of my life...
I have always battled within 20 or so pounds... my mom is a type 2 diabetic and now also an amputee because of it. My goal is to stay alive, live my life, be happy, and keep all my parts. My mother was diagnosed when she was considered "clinically obese", and I worry that if I am too lax with my attitude towards my health that I may slowly creep towards what she went through.
Aside from that, I feel that I lack energy to do ANYTHING, and that must make me a "drag" to be around. During my "thinner times", I know I was more up to doing things, going out, felt better in the clothes that I chose to wear, and nowadays, not so much.
I don't have any specific DIET that I am following... what I am hoping to do is make myself conscious of what I am putting in my mouth so I can look at my lifestyle logically.
My family likes to eat traditionally, meat potatoes, veg.... I grew up when if you didn't finish what was on your plate you didn't leave the table. I missed the education that my mother got through her diabetes because she was not diagnosed until I was of age and moved out on my own.
I am trying to build my own image and lifestyle, and just want to feel good in as many aspects as possible.
