I started this blog in September 2010.... @ 380.8 lbs. That was truth! The big "Fat" scary TRUTH! We are all here a year and 3 months later and the TRUTH is still looming bigger and yet a little lighter than back then... I am at 354.3 lbs. - the number is lower and yet still seems insurmountable in so many ways. I know- I didn't put it on over night, and I can't expect to take it off over night either.... but, I could have done better.
For the last 2-3 months I wasn't sleeping well, I was feeling kinda dizzy here and there, and was noticing something odd.... I was loosing my hair! Crazy- I know.... but, after I started looking things up on the wonderful world wide web.... I found out that my sugar was out of control.... Type 2 diabetes will cause you to loose your hair!
Before I found that out.... Dan and I went out to lunch on a Sunday after church and had- what I would have called a healthy brunch... I had an omelet, a glass of OJ and a muffin.... after we ate we stopped by my Dad's to visit and I took my blood sugar.... it was 491!!!!! OMG!!!! I was a little terrified...although I didn't show it, questions flooded my mind..... What did I eat? Why is it so high? What did I do? What can I do? Shouldn't I be feeling horrible? What's the answers? What can I do to FIX it? so I went to the Doctor, he upped my medicine, I'm checking my blood sugar twice a day, and.... Our bodies are amazing.... If you study anything about how your body works.... we could not just have evolved..... God had His hand in every molecule and still does.... with out Him we are DUST!
In saying all this- My previous Doctor had told me it was OK for me not to check my blood sugar as he though it was high but we were in control of it with the medicine I was on.... NOT TRUE! I had not gotten a blood glucose meter because I didn't want to spend the money (test strips were expensive) to find out I was not doing OK? What kind of logic is that? Not wise.... if you need it get it! Don't just think your okay because you feel fine.... if everything is pointing to something wrong...there is something wrong!
I am on track focused and ready to win! January here I come....
