Freak'n Diabetic!!!

Since my last check up about a year ago, I decided to start eating better, exercise a little more and get myself in shape. My first step was to stop drinking my usual 100+ ounces of soda pop. From that time I have done just that. I got even more help once I graduated in the spring and did not have such a high level of stress. I have lost a total of 65 pounds with in this time frame. However with in the last month I found out that I had a little more help getting into shape and losing weight. I found out I am a Diabetic. Yes, a Freak'n Diabetic (as my Aunt LD would say). It has taken the breath right out of me. I figured that I was losing weight by exercising and dieting correctly, now I find that it might have just been the effects of diabetes. Its not a great feeling to know all that work was not successful. But I have come to realize I am what I am. Now every day I have to test my blood, keep dieting without eating the good stuff, and keep on exercising. It has not been to much of a change, other then the fact I have to explain diabetes to people because they think you have some horrible disease that contagious. My best friend even makes fun of me for it. Its a life style change but I think in the long run (if I keep it under control) it will be a good thing. But now I have joined the group and can call myself a "Freak'n Diabetic!!"
