This time last year i was very overweight, but sort of in denial about the damage having a bad diet and carrying excess weight was doing to my health. In October, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I have since lost 3stone in weight and feel so much fitter and have heaps more energy.
These pics were taken a year to the week apart. What a difference!!

That is wonderful and you look terrific! It’s so hard to stick to those changes, but you did it! I don’t know you, but I’m very proud of you.
My mom put a lot of weight on in her late 40’s through her 50’s. It really did a number on her health. She developed diabetes, started having issues with her organs, had very little energy, etc. She ended up passing away at 63 with liver failure, and I strongly believe it was all due to her obesity.
She never had the energy or the will to commit to the weight loss. She always hoped weight loss pills would do it for her, which I’m sure didn’t help her organs any. So yes, I’m very proud of you and how you turned your life around!
@cherryxblossom thanks so much. So sorry to here about yr mum. Something that is seldom spoken about....hie many women get diagnosed with diabetes following the menopause. And thyriod issues....yet it shouldnt surprise ........its all down to hormones....
