New to the Forums! An introduction at last.

I've been around for a little bit getting a feel for the site, and realized that I never introduced myself! Not that I am exceptionally good at doing so, but here's my attempt.

My name is Falon and I'm 28 (but will be 29 on Weds). I was diagnosed with Diabetes a couple of years ago, and have been working at trying to lose weight (it has always been a long uphill battle for me from the get-go however!) This past March I kicked into gear and have since lost 8lbs which is the most I've been able to lose since puberty, or so it feels that way.

Seeing as I am nearly thirty I would really like to lose at least 40-50lbs. It's all about the health for me, well I am trying, to do so within my means. It's not an easy task as I am breaking down a life time love affair with tasty foods and comfort eating.

I have good days and I have bad days, I'm not perfect but I'm trying to remain firm and steady with this decision, and it's never easy!

I could of course use more support, and wouldn't mind supporting in return! Hah, anyways thank you for reading this. Good luck every one!

Good luck Falon and Happy Birthday!!
You can still love food. You just have to like less of it. You have the right mind set...it's not about dieting but getting healthy. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

Thank you all so much for the welcome! I'm determined to remain at least steady on this.

@Irene8509 of course I'll add you, thank you.
