Not worthless.

Hello!

My name is Mariah. I am 23 years old, reality has slapped me in the face these last few months, in the following ways. I have high blood pressure, and type two diabetes. I am way to young to have said problems. Also, I am not longer at ease in my own skin.  

I've made an million and one excuses on why I couldn't do this, but the last reality I have encountered is this. I only need one reason to do this, and it's because, I am a valuable human being and I deserve to live my life to the fullest.

I am always in search of new friends to motivate and get motivation from, so if that's you please add me!

Thanks a million !

    I know how you feel, high blood pressure and high cholesterol came to visit me earlier this year and were my motivation for getting to a healthier state.

  • I had elevated blood pressure at one point. There are many reasons why I decided to go for it but when I found out my mother was diagnosed with type 2, I made the decision not to follow her path. Congratulations on making the first step! I'm adding you.
