And I really hate oatmeal so please not that.Thanks in advance!
Once you are diagnosed that you have an illness like diabetes, it can be hard on you emotionally and mentally to face it. But, since it is there already, this time, you want to take control of your illness. When you feel like giving up, you only allow the illness to take control of your life.

This is an update. I talk about what has given me inspiration and motivation (see links below) for weight loss. I have been following a “mostly” raw food diet and tomorrow will start a beginner’s crossfit exercise program. I used to weigh 280 pounds and am currenly in the 170′s, working to my next goal.
I have type 2 diabetes with bad insulin resistance and have been told I probably have pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome). I used to take insulin and have been able to stop that. I also had really high blood pressure, and it now runs low.
I am working towards improving my health, gaining better fitness, learning better nutrition so I can reach my goals fast.
