in Introduce Yourself
Well I guess i'll start by saying HI. My name is Aubrey and i'm 29 years old. I have a lot of work to do and I think I have finally found the motivation to get started. My dad was diagnosed with Diabetes about 3 months ago and he is really struggling. I hurts me to see him in so much pain and not to be able to play with my son. I am a lot like my father in so many ways, but this I want to change. When I am his age I want to enjoy my children and grandchildren and be able to live a happy healthy life. I figure no better time to start then now. I fear that if I don't make changes now then my future is clear. Hopefully I can stay motivated and become who I need to be.

    All it takes is the first step! You will find MFP to be an awesome place, and if you're like me (not that motivated ;), you'll be SURPRISED at how easy it is to just get going.....................

    Logging your food is a great way to gain perception of what you're eating, and ways to change it.
    Logging any exercise is also very motivating, as it gives you more calories you can eat :)

    Enjoy - and welcome!

    Welcome, anyway I can help just let me know.

    Also, my Mother was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and I worked with her on her food plan and we totally put it into remission. I can give you some info to help your Dad, like I did my Mom.

    I have been in recovery from food addiction for over 19 years and have spent over that time working on food plans within my own program and my clients.

    I would be more than happy to be a part of your support system.

    Hugs,
