    Hi there, I am relatively new to this site too and finding it very useful, especially the contact with other fellow dieters.

    I have a similar situation to you. My mother had type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and multiple strokes resulting in confinement to a wheelchair for the last 10 years of her life. I finally got the realisation that unless I changed my poor diet and exercise habits I would end up the same and it has really helped spur me on. I am not going down the same path and neither should you so keep on going - all the effort will be worth it in the long run.

    Take care,
    Janet
