Dealing with the white zone

A cousin of mine asked me about my weight loss. I told her that I had recently discovered I have type 2 diabetes. My weightloss comes from giving up alot of bad habits. I gave up anything white bleached and processed. Sugar, flour, potatos, Pasta and rice but I picked up better eatting habits, weighing my foods and sticking to a diet. The funny things is when I took this journey I drug my husband along. Sure he dragged his feet because I made him eat oatmeal. But he feels better and that little buddah belly he blamed on my cooking started to go away. I remember my fathers mother going through surgeries to have her foot removed because of her diabetes and I am determined not to do that. I like my parts. Two weeks in my vision improved...I didn't even know it had been affected! Now I am feeling more energetic and a mood improvement. Adding different tastes and flavors to to out table. Planning excersizes that are easy and enjoyable. I am rediscovering myself. I hope to take you on the journey, so you don't feel alone like I did. Diabetes is a killer thats stalking our children. Because we live such unhealthy lifestyles and are getting away from what it is to live in the moment and enjoy our lives. Put down the remote walk outside and take a deep breath. We can do this. I always add a recipe to these too. I expect everyone to take a walk or go pull some weeds in ther garder after eatting. It not only helps you but improves your day. Make the switch to healthier milk, substitute eggs fresh fruit and veggitables with every meal and throw the white bread away. Live a little longer and healthier.
