Gonna do it!

Hey everyone, I am a 56 year old male with type 2 Diabetes. I make no excuses. I over ate and didn't make good life choices, so I got diabetes. I am looking to lose 40 pounds and put my diabetes in remission. However, I don't have a lot of friends who understand the struggle not to eat out, avoid processed foods, and exercise like a monkey with his hair on fire. I walk between 2 and 5 hours a day. I could really use your support, because some days I just don't feel it , and I need a nudge.
