First Timer
In every aspect I am a first timer, I have never really dieted in my life... maybe thought about it a few times, but just never really had the motivation to do so. This week, I got my motivation... big time! I found out that I am at a very high risk for diabetes. I sort of knew this when I became pregnant, but never really took it seriously and neither did my Dr at the time.
Now, 13 years after the birth of my last child, I am starting to get nervous, I guess that is normal, my body isn't what it used to be, but that is the least of my worries. My concerns are 'will this body get me through the next 10 years, or even 5! It seems to be falling apart, maybe I am over-reacting, but I don't think so. I believe I weigh in reasonably, although I would like to trim down a bit, my goal is to adjust to a healthier lifestyle, not to lose weight per-se. My appetite and energy levels are all out of whack... these are some of what has led me to LC and this forum.
I have just started, right now! I don't believe in starting tomorrow... tomorrow never comes! I am prepared to change my eating habits, to add exercise (regularly) to my daily routine and to meet the challenges that I may be faced with. What I do not have is experience, this is where I hope to benefit from this forum, and maybe, oe day in the not to distant future, I will be informed enough to help someone else in their quest for a more healthful lifestyle.
I think the hardest part for me will be potatoes... I am guessing that I am one of the most adamant potato lover this side of Ireland... but we will see!
I am glad to have found you all and look forward to participating in your discussions
