There is absolutely NO WAY!

I was in the bathroom and just for fun stepped on the scales. NO WAY!

I have weighed the same since the birth of my son. Then, last year, I diagnosed myself with Diabetes. I knew something was wrong when I would pass out for no apparent reason. At least I thought it was no reason. It finally dawned on me that it might be my sugar. I'd heard of people going into a diabetic coma but had not experienced it. Again, so I thought. I have researched diabetes more and more since my self-diagnosis.

I had gestational diabetes with both of my pregnancies. I knew that my chances of getting it at a later age were probable since I am overweight. I am not lazy, but I do not exercise like I should. I used to think that my Cappaccino Blasts from Baskin-Robbins every weekend was making me sleep better because of the caffeine. I know think that I was sleeping "better" because I was passing out!

So, last year with that diagnosis, I cut out sugar. I use artificial sweetener in our iced tea. I drink diet sodas, and generally try to watch what I eat. If I don't, I pass out.

I use cinnamon and niacinamide to control my sugar. It seems to be working, so far.

I guess it's working. The bathroom scales say I lost 25 lbs. I won't believe it until I step on one at a doctor's office. I cut out sugar, but by golly----25 lbs???? It just can't be real.
