Type 2, High Triglycerides, & Bad Cholesterol..OH MY

tara_seay

Hey everyone. I'm a 28 year old woman and two Fridays ago, I got my blood work back from the doctor. I have Type 2 Diabetes, my body is 'Insulin Resistant', my 'good' cholesterol is too low, and my triglycerides are too high. The doctor also said, I have 'metabolic syndrome.' What a great report! *rolls eyes*

I obviously knew I was obese, but didn't know I had such health issues.

I know WHAT I am going to do, but I need some support for the difficult times. I am not looking for 'opinions' or 'do this, not that' type of people.. just someone to be able to say, "Dang that sucks, but it will be okay, because I KNOW you can do this." Someone who can support me with LOVE instead of judging what I am doing about it or HOW i got this way. I am going 'all-in' and eating clean. Nothing processed, healthy percentages of carbs, fat, and proteins as set out by my doctor, only water, and appropriate vitamin enriched foods that will make sure my sugar stays where it needs to be. Obviously, I have a couple prescriptions to take, but my goal is to not have to take those forever.

Just really fired up about getting healthy. I need someone to share that passion with, my fiancee' does it with me, but it's always good to have a support circle with lots of support.

Add me if you want. Don't if you don't.
