Introducing...Matthew

matthewmalicoat

Hello everybody. I'm not new to this program. I've been using it for almost a year. The main reason I started using it was because I'm a diabetic type 1. I also have other incurable diseases to attend too, and I've had 3 heart attacks...one massive, one regular, and 1 minor. I've been told by my 7 doctors that I'm dying and will not live long. I was told all my organs would eventually shutdown. That was 3 years ago and I'm still here and fighting by the strength of God. I was Type 2 diabetic, but my Pancreas has shutdown and I have to constantly wear an insulin pump. At first, I used the program to count my carbs. After a while I started using it to lose weight and eat better, and I've lost 40 pounds so far. I never really became part of the community or made friends with anyone because I didn't think I would really fit in because of my situation and I know how serious people can be when it comes to fitness. They become overly and excessively addicted to fitness...which I'm not but I am serious though. I didn't want to get caught up in the hype of a bunch of people who thought about fitness like it was the only purpose in life and be badgered everyday and feel like I was Rocky and Mick was yelling at me everyday. I live in the country where my next door neighbor lives a mile away. My kids are all grown and moved out, and my wife is working, going to college to be a nurse, and is constantly gone. So, its usually just me alone 90% of the time. I'll be 47 in a month, I use to preach and teach the Bible, I'm very friendly, and oh, I'm extremely handsome...compared to a Blobfish...lol.
