I was told by Dr. Stevens that my blood sugar is high and that I might develop diabetes. He said that my "excessive weight" is causing some concerning health issues.
The news was a wake-up call, as my mother had her left foot amputated 3 years ago... and it made me really scared of course.
I thought about all the health problems. Dr. Stevens said it could lead to high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and Kidney Disease.
I became terrified. I had to change. I had to get my life back on track.
So, I started making small changes; reducing my portion size. I tried to cut out the snacks, and I even tried a few workouts.
Even though I tried hard, I couldn't get the scale to move.
But when the current global situation came along, I got so stressed and worried that I began to comfort eat.
I know this was the worst thing I could have done, but in my head, I kept justifying it.
Certain things were beyond my control after all. What else could I do? It looks like I've decided I'll be overweight for the rest of my life.
It did not help that after 40, EVERYTHING Went Downhill, Quickly...
Little did I know when Sam called me about her exciting news of how this passenger lost over 100Ibs with a new “Exotic Rice Method” that life would take a BIG TURN!
