Hi everyone!
I just joined & wanted to say hi. I'm 53, 5' 7", 300 pounds, BMI is 47, and was diagnosed as Type 2 last year. My FBS is 205. I’ve been fat all my life, but have packed on even more weight as I got older.
All though it's been almost a year since I was diagnosed, I’m still having trouble adjusting. I try to eat healthy, but sometimes I backslide into my old habits. Especially when CHOCOLATE is nearby. ARGH! I’ve tried one diet after another after another, but never stay with any of them for long.
I’m trying to exercise more, too. So far I just do a slow ten minute walk around my home three times a week, which isn’t much, but still better than nothing.
I joined in hopes of finding people who can help stick to my diet & exercise more and basically deal with being Type 2.
Hope to talk to you all soon!
