I know I am not a new comer but I dont think I have ever shared much about me.
I am a respiratory therapist working in a long term acute care hospital. Been divorced now 4 yrs, both my boys (23 & 26) are grown and living on their own. The youngest married his high school sweetheart a year ago. No grandchildren yet but they can wait awhile. The oldest has decided he doesnt need or want anything to do with me. I have come to terms with that it has now been 10 yrs.
I am living with my mom and stepdad, he converted the garage into an apartment for me so I still have my privacy but close enough to help them out. Mom has become my best friend. She is one of my quilting buddies.
I have battled for 20 + years with my weight, and being diabetic it has become a bigger challagne to get it off. I know my diabetes is due to the weight as no family history. I have tried several different plans with no success. So I am now eating a low fat high protein, more veggies & fruit. Making this a lifestyle change vs just losing weight. I will need to eat this way always to maintain. I would rather lose it slowly than quickly.
Most people dont believe I am as old as I am, they think I am about 15 yrs younger. So I have this fear if I drop weight too fast I will be overcome with all kinds of wrinkles.
Sorry for rambling.
Keep up the good work and remember you are losing weight.
I am losing
