I am 39 years old and the mother of 3 handsome young men and the Mimi of 2 gorgeous little girls! I am also a diabetic. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in Feb. of 2007. I have been battling with my weight my entire life. I feel that there is a smaller me inside and she is fighting to get out! I'm not trying to be "SUPER MODEL" thin, just healthy. I keep telling myself that it is a mind thing. Mind over matter or in my case mind over portion. It is a process and I plan on taking one step and one day at a time. I think my biggest issue is staying motivated. Once I get going I'm good. It's just that whole start up process for me. But it is a new year and I want so many things out of life. This is one of them. I will be 40 this year and I have decided that this is my year! The only thing holding me back is me! Well.....NO MORE!!!!! I'm in it to win it!
