Dear Diary, and anyone who is reading,
Its been a long journey. Everyone here told me not to take metformin, regardless of the pre diabetic diagnosis, but when the doctor told me I could lose weight, while changing the way I ate and the way I lived, meaning amount of effort I put into my body and my health and well being physically. We forgot about the mind that sits with in this fat body. I am honest. I am fat. I dont know if I am ugly, but I have a wonderful fiance that thinks I am one bodacious babe, but we are facing the problems of my well being. I will dye young if I continue with my lack of activity. Facebook, what and who the hell are you? I just let my life go on hold, for games, to make friends. Moving to this new area was difficult. I have no friends, except for the ones online, but it just doesnt cut it. I want friends on here, support on the weight loss forum and I know you all have a lot of that to give, motivation is the key. I eat well, pretty much already, having to live on a diabetic diet, its the way I eat now, keeping my sugar down is essential, unfortunately now it drops too low at times because I forget to eat. I still use sweetners. I dont have any dressing on my skinless turkey breast. Whole wheat pasta...etc .. all good ..salads every once in a while, or sometimes all day. Salads are the best, especially the way my fiance mixxes the greens up, crispy and nice ..fresh ..not much dressing .. not much meat ... I basically live the diabetic diet, which is a good one.
Not on metformin, because I am not diabetic anymore,. BUT I did lose one hundred pounds while on the Metformin. I walked for miles. I ate what I ate, the new lifestyle is behavioral. I take my vitamins, but I DONT MOVE!! My basic day is on the computer all llllllllllllllllllll day! However
I have started making a change, not going to, but already have been. Not as much time on the computer. Stretching, taking the stairs more, only one flight, but its better than going to the basement and taking the elevator up. I now go up the flight of stairs, one and I take the elevator the rest of the way up. Going to eventually move it to taking all the stairs up and no elevator ... I never left the house.. and I would go through periods where I would go out one day and for months not at all ..sad life.
but over the past week, I have gone out twice, once to go with my sister to a restaurant ... it was ok eating ..but hey, eating out is not always kind to your body, not an angel there. I can admit that. BUT I dont eat out all the time. and today I spent the most time I have spent on these two legs and braced on these two knees and these two ankles for a months. I went to the Christmas tree shop knowing I would be in pain. This store is huge. And I just run though, grabbing decorations, pulling things off the shelves, retail therapy can be a good thing once in a while, especially if it is very active and man was I have fun. I suffer from depression and social anxiety, severe anxiety. Its hard getting out, but once I am out of the apartment I am out for a long time. I spent more than an hour on these knees that hurt and crack and could barely hold my weight. My back hurt, I have arthritis too and they think I have lupus, more reason to do this, must keep going, fight fight fight. So tomorrow I am going for a light walk. and I am gonig to try to get in some walking everyday, doesnt mean spending money everyday, but spring is here and I love spring and I am going to enjoy it and the only way to enjoy this time of year is being outside in the fresh air, sun shine and beautiful skies... even love walking during the rain ...clouds clouds come and stay lol
SO I am doing it already and plan to continue. I gained all the weight and more back...never using another medicine to lose weight with. Walking, and eating right, the lifestyle change, can be so major in ones life. The choice is to live or not to live .. I chose life ..so .. I walk now ... and I am going to continue this for the rest of my life
Thanks Natalie jo
