I am currently on a diet called Medifast.

You may have seen their advertisements on facebook. I started this diet because my sister-in-law lost over 100 lbs. doing this and I felt like I needed to get my act together. I am not a representative of Medifast, just someone that started the diet and am learning as I go along.

Why am I doing this diet?

Well besides from being overweight. *I hate the word Morbidly Obese. It sounds so depressing, although accurate* I currently am a Type 2 Diabetic with Chronic Hypertension (High blood pressure) I was feeling sick every morning I got up and the lifestyle I grew up with was not a healthy one. I would get these bursts of energy and then crash an hour or two later. I felt like I was out of control and unable to exercise my self-discipline, let alone exercise anything else. I ultimately knew that if I was going to continue on this fast track to death, It would affect my children and family. I realized I wasn't ready to throw the towel in and give up. So I am fighting for my life and my children. One day at a time.
