Hey people. =) Its been ages since I have been on here. And it shows. I have just spent the last 2 weeks in Michigan with my mother, who lost her leg due to an infection that she could not fight off because of her diabetes. All the fear I had for her put aside, it was a serious reality check for me. This could be me in 15 years. I don't have diabetes, yet, but at what I weigh, it cant be far. I've gained back all but 4 pounds of what I've lost. I can't live like this anymore. I need a good kick in the *kitten*.

I have a new motto to live by, and I have written it all over my house.

I am not depriving myself, I am taking care of myself.

    That's a great motto! I'm sorry about your mother. Diabetes is also in my family and I'm struggling not to end there where something like loosing a leg is a real threat.
