Medical issues force me to look at losing some serious weight. My doctor asked me, would I please lose ten pounds?
I ignored my doc until one event change my thinking forever.
Months later I rushed
to the emergency room. I was informed that my A1C (average blood glucose for approximately the last 3 months) was 10.2 and my heart rate was over 200 bpm.
He said I could have possibly died if I hadn't come in. Close call!
I joined a group called TOPS ( Take Off Pounds Sensibility).
I set an appontment with my VA NUTRITIONISTS.
I downloaded MFP app.
Since 2017 I have and continue all three.
I also credit (my God, Lord and Savior) Jesus who listened and responded in a big way to my plea for help.
I would like to hear about your journey, efforts and your success in placing health at the top of the list.
Thank you for sharing.
Michael
