It’s Time to Resolve My Fat
So all my good intentions for this year have come to naught. I’ve not lost all that baby/stress weight, and I’m not sure what weight loss diet I’d need to perform such a miracle on the schedule I’m currently following. But I do have a resolution for my fat that is very much in tune with a form of a weight loss diet – I’m going to be diabetic.
I know, I know – I think I tried this before. But now I’m really going to do it. It’s time now.
My father has Type 2 diabetes. So do both of my Aunts. I know that I can prevent it for quite some time if I can get my weight down, stop eating sugar and start exercising (again.) So here’s the plan:
I will (starting tomorrow) follow the same style of diet I’ll have to follow in about ten years. If I am even reasonably close to cutting out all the sugary crap in my diet, I’ll be in business – I’ll lose weight, I’ll feel better, I’ll be setting a better example for the kiddos and I’ll be preventing diabetes.
Finding time to work out will be the hardest part, but I can work it in when I can for the next few months and when summer rolls around again, I’ll join up (again) at the Y to utilize the childcare, awesome kiddie swimming pool and the elliptical machine.
It’s workable. I just need to do it long enough for it to become habit.
