Hi TL we have a lot in common
we are around the same age, height, and weight. My mother and father has diabetes and high blood pressure.
My mother had a stroke back in January which really was a shocker and a eye opener, watching my mother struggle trying to regain somewhat of a normal life, I dont want to go down that same road.
I have really packed on the pounds and my body is objecting very loudly my knees and ankles ache and my back reminds me every day I really need to lose weight. So I know exactly where you are coming from.
I am with you all the way because I love myself too and we both deserve to have a better life and I will be cheering
for you everyday and sending willpower and motivation prayers out for the both of us.
Hello
My parents are both overweight and diabetic, and their health problems just keep piling up as the years go on. I don't want that road, either. I want to nip this problem in the bud while I can, and I admire you for looking at it objectively-- loving yourself and not "hating the weight off". That's probably the biggest change I'm working on-- not feeling so insecure and upset with my appearance.
Hope this forum provides you with the encouragement and support you need ^_^
