I love the holidays, I really do. However, the week or so following the celebrations can be quite a reality check. For instance, my pants are stretching in areas they did not stretch before. Yes, all the good food we ate with our families has now converted to bulging fat cells. Yum.
It doesn't get much better than good family and food for me, but at the end of the day I want to be healthy. I've had type 1 diabetes since I was seven years old. It's a humbling disease-- I need my insulin injections to live. Well, for over 2 years I was in denial, rarely giving my body the injections it so dearly needed. A slow suicide.
I am proud to say I have turned my life around. I've worked hard to get my health and body in good shape, even managing to reverse some damage! I'm not perfect though, and I struggle from day to day, and sometimes from meal to meal, shot to shot.
So I'll admit, my eating pattern was a little out of control over the holidays, and subsequently so was my blood sugar. Putting that behind me, I'm focusing on my
well-being so that I may live to give the love I promised to family, boyfriend, friends, and someday give all my love to my children.
WHOA...children?! Why am I talking about kids? I'm never one to talk about kids! Uh oh. That's a discussion for another post...another day...
Best of luck with your resolutions.
Happy New Year!!
