I'm a 51yo father of 3 grown boys. I've been coaching hockey for 21 yrs. I've been battling weight and blood pressure issues for years. Recently, I was also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on top of that. I have managed to get it under control and drop a lot of weight again. The issue I am having is keeping my motivation in such seemingly hopeless times we are living in. My girlfriend has been a member of this site for several years now and is doing so well in her journey again. She gets a lot of joy out of the support and camaraderie she has here. I have never given this site the credit it likely deserves as I am someone that has a very hard time asking for help, often scoffing at it when she tried to get me involved in it.
I want to put a genuine effort into getting what good I can out of being on here. I'm hoping to find some sort of inner joy again as the world just seems to be draining it from me. Perhaps getting healthier and getting in better shape will help with that. Love to hear from anybody else that needs help keeping focused.
