AWWWW yes!

It's actual good...that I was diagnosed w/ diabetes and high blood pressure....go figure...All my life I was told by the doctors, "you are one healthy big girl Lauren, keep up the good work!" and now that I have hit age 27...I am now one sick puppy...BUT IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD! LOL
why you say? Because..it has not only helped to wake me up to my own areas that need improvement....but it has also awakened my 2 best friends in the whole world; Jennifer and Tracey whom I love dearly might I add. The doctor told me that I was averaging 350 on my sugar count...BUT today I was as low as 121. Why and how could it have dropped so low you may be asking yourself...well...Like Jennipoo stated in our first post...I eliminated poison sugars and bad carbohydrates from my diet entirely. I read in "The Sugar Solution" that High Fructose Corn Syrup is the leading cause of obesity and diabetes in today's society. I admit...Little Debbie was one of my good friends; I knew her on a personal level that no other could possibly..LOL...all my life I have had a sweet tooth; and it has gotten the best of me. WELL NO MORE! I am the one in control now. I say no to Little Debbie, no to fast foods that only hurt and not nourish this beautiful body that God gave me, and no to bad carbs that only harm in the worst ways. See, I am not just diabetic cause my eating habits; though they play a HUGE role; I am diabetic cause I am predisposed due to the good old genes...yep that's right...good old genetics...there is diabetes on both sides of my family...and it ain't a pretty sight. Not all hope is gone though; and in a short time I am seeing results in my life changes that I have made. I was diagnosed w/ diabetes 2 weeks ago; went to the doctor yesterday only to hear him tell me he was proud of me cause my sugar levels are under control and then..surprisingly he took me off the meds...but I'm still taking metphormine to protect my kidneys..cause as we all know...glucose is bad for the kidneys. The other reason my sugar levels decreased so much is because of exercise....during my break today I walked for 15minutes; and when I got home I did a 30minute taebo work out. Somethings got to give! and it did...Now I pray that it continues.
The picture in this post is me at a size 28...I am now a size 22 and it's starting to get baggy!
