you can do it,but it mostly comes from within your self.

I love those quotes... "your body whispers, but if you dont listen, it has to shout" :-) and hey!! well done you!! congrats on the weight loss!! xx

I'm nodding my head as I read this. Seems that when we're bad to ourselves our body finds a way to make us sit up and pay attention. Would love to hear about your journey to a better body and a better life.

This is probably the BEST doable stage, and it sounds like you are doing well with things so far. I've learned a lot about diabetes since hubby was diagnosed with it a few years back, but still not nearly enough. There's just so much information out there it's hard to plow through. He will ask me to "look up this or that and see if it's good or bad for him." I've tried printing out diets etc....and it all gets so out of hand. We still don't know the basic, key things that he needs to know. Sometimes we wonder if he even needs all the pills he is taking.

But, if you are exercising and losing weight, that's a great start. Don't wait until doing these things are three times as hard to do. Yeah for you for doing so well at the onset, and keep up the good work.

(love the quotes, too)

It's something I think about allot, not diabetes but consuming... or talking as you say. We are what we eat, regardless of what people think it all catches up with us.

Actually I'd love to hear more on this, its interesting to not that most doctors tell their patients here whether they have diabetes or not that a diabetic diet is the healthiest way to eat.
