I Need To Change!
Hello everyone,
My name is Rachel, I just turned 27, and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 3 years ago. While it shouldn't have been completely shocking, considering my father had diabetes, I was shocked and completely devastaed. I have really been struggling over the last 3 years with a lot of issues. I've dealt with depression, stress, and an addiction to smoking. I have been in denial about the diabetes and have made no efforts to change until now. I am so tired all the time, I have no energy, my legs and feet constsatly ache, and there is always some new physical outbreak (rashes, yeast infections, etc.). I honestly am so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I am only 27 years old and I feel like I'm in my 60's or 70's. I currently weigh 235 pounds and would like to lose about 80-90 lounds. I would appreciate any tips, encouragement, or advice. I'm so happy to have found this forum and think it will be a great starting point for losing weight and managing my diabetes.
