To a new year and a new start!

Hi everyone! I am using this as an excuse to keep myself accountable and make this a better year for me! I recently lost my mother to renal failure as a direct result from many years struggling with type 2 diabetes. I have lost both parents now (my dad was a smoker and died of lung cancer 2 years ago) and I’m only 38 years old! I am overweight and miserable, basically I’m just waiting to become a statistic like my mother. I am taking this opportunity to stop that ball from rolling over me and crushing me. No one made me this way. I let it happen because it was always too hard to stop it. Well, that kind of mindset ends now. I need to help myself before it becomes too late. I welcome any advice, words of encouragement, anything that might help.

Let’s make this a new year of hope!!!
