Why I'm here

loseitordie69

Hello, my name is Vickie. I'm from Charleroi, PA. I joined this site because I'm an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic. I take shots several times a day and I have to check my blood sugar multiple times per day. My doctor said either I start to eat right and exercise or potentially lose a few toes, possibly even die. I'm not morbidly obese. But, I am obese by set weight standards. I've been dieting for 2 weeks now and my weight flip flops 😠 my doctor also said that now I'm not taking in enough calories. 🙆😲 That's why I'm here, to help me manage safe caloric intake.
