Why turning 30 was so awesome.

emancipateurself

I was told by two different doctors that if I didn't change my lifestyle I would not make it to thirty.
That was 15 years ago.

It took me a long time to realize that my health is important that I'm worth it and I'm important as well.

I've been morbidly obese since I was 15 and have now just got into the category of 'obese'.

I've had many health problems because of my excess weight...type 2 diabetis (still took insulin), high blood pressure and pcos to name a few.

I've decressed my insulin amounts by 70% and will be off insulin soon. I've been taken off 3 seperate blood pressure medication and just have 2 remaining to be taken off of in time.

All I really wanted to say was my 30th birthday was so awesome because I'm alive.

That is awesome! I'm so glad you are alive and that I got to "meet" you! You are doing a great job! Getting off all those meds is a HUGE accomplishment, too!
