  • Hi all,

    My name is Lana and a diabetic. I've always been overweight since the third grade. I want to loose weight and keep it off. I want to be a better me. I no longer want to have diabetes. A lot of this is due to past traumas and low-self esteem. But at 26, I'm starting to realize if I want the change, I must change myself. I just started my class on Professional Development and the first chapter is on personality, self-esteem, and letting go of baggage. I'm amazed through the exercises how much worth I had given myself, which wasnt that much. So I am here to make a change for myself and to go forth in my life a better person. A big part of the chapter is to let go of the past and forgive so that you can move forward. So part of my baggage is my weight so I am here to start shedding the pounds. I've never taken such a big step and I am determined to stick to it.
  • Welcome! There is a thread here for people who have obstacles in their weight loss way - diabetes support. Check it out!
