I'm new to this site, but unfortunately not new to the weight loss thing. I've lost enough weight over the years to make not one, but several bodies. When I get ready to start something new I begin to ask myself "what is going to be different this time?" Well, in trying to answer that one for myself, I want my focus to be on learning to eat and prepare food healthy. I've been living a life of denial for 5+ years now regarding diabetes. I am diabetic.............just haven't wanted to believe it or take care of myself like I should. So, that has to change. If not, there will likely be a horrible price to pay later on in my life. A time when I hope to be able to enjoy life with my husband and family. I also battle with depression and let me just say, the number on the scales can absolutely "do me in". That is why I want the main part of my focus on health and not just the number on the scale. I know they go hand in hand, in fact, I'm counting on it. I started this on Thursday. I know I have a long journey ahead and I know some days will be difficult. No matter how long the journey, it must begin with one day, one step, one meal. Looking forward to a positive change with positive outcomes.
