Starting New
 

Hello my name is Bonnie and I am here to make a new start here. I went to the Dr last week and he informed me that I have high Sugar and If I didnt start doing something about it when I go back to him in march I will be considered a diabetic. Although he told me he didnt want me to diet he wants me to eat everday food and portion it and start exercising. So I guess thats what I am going to be doing.

Hiya Bonnie. Sounds like you have yourself a fool proof plan. Good luck and keep posting

Hey Bonnie, and :wel3fc:

Your doctor has the right idea about not "dieting". The problem with a diet is that it is temporary...you go "on" a diet, then you go "off" a diet and return to your old habits, thus regaining all the weight you'd lost. I prefer the term "lifestyle" changes. You can't "mess up" a lifestyle, nor can you go off of it. You can improve it, tweak it, whatever...but you can't "fail" at it. You just keep trying. So congratulations on your healthy attitude.

Stick around. You can do this!

Thank you both for the word of encouragement. I am going to give it a shot. I will keep posting and checking back... :smug:
