Defining Moment

Options
For me it was when my doctor told me that my A1C was 8.1. I can’t say I’m shocked to have Type 2 diabetes with a family history (on my mom’s side) and a personal history of having had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my now 18-year-old daughter. I had a breast reduction 5 years ago and my shirts look awesome on me, but when I look at myself naked in the mirror from the side I want to throw up - I think I look disgusting. I will be 44 soon so it’s not like I’m getting any younger. No time like the present to get in shape.
