I would like to share with you my struggles and accomplishments and would like to know all of you! I have been overweight most of my life! I only remember been at 125lbs when I was a senior in high school! The beginning of 2014 was a defiant moment for my life, I stepped in the scale on January 1,2014 and weighted at 210.6 lbs!! I knew I was tipping more than 200lbs I just was in denial.

Although since 2007(year that I moved to Delaware from my beautiful island Puerto Rico I lost 13lbs! How I know it? Well when I went to get my license changed I weighted 223lbs and I was wearing pants that were size 18/20. I feel so a shame now when I see pictures from those years and I can not believed how I let myself get so heavy. In 2008 I went to see the Dr and I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, I was devastated! I couldn't believed that been so young I gad developed diabetes and I was more devastated because both my grandfathers had type 2 Diabetes and one of them died with complications caused by diabetes! I cried so much and I was determined to beat this disease but it didn't last long and I entered into a denial stage that lasted for couple years. I ate anything without controlling myself and my disease! I was injecting myself with insulin 4 times a day plus had high cholesterol and triglycerides. Shortly after been diagnosed with diabetes I was diagnosed with polycystic  ovarian syndrome p and I was told I'd never be able to have children! That was the tip of the iceberg. I felt depressed and betrayed! I had no motivation in life, an even though my husband Chris was so supportive and I absolutely had no pressure from him to have babies I felt so alone and angry!

Today I have lost 26lbs so far and have been managing my diabetes to the point that I was put on a pill instead of the injectable insulin! My journey is just starting and I would like to joined me on this journey, let's motivate each other to do new things to improve our quality of life!
