starting over, detoxing from soda

So, my biggest addiction is Dr. Pepper & Coca-Cola ( the real stuff, not diet). I managed to go 6.5 days without it, craving it all the time. I broke down friday at noon & had one, once I started I could not stop. ALL weekend I drank cokes like water. I really feel for those suffering from alcohol or drug addiction, mine is just SODA. I was with family this weekend, stressed out so I drank it.

I am starting over today & hoping to make it 7 days without a drop of it. Making some hard decisions over the next few weeks about my life, job, & having another child. Will keep you posted for those following this :)

A New Path--Journey of a Fat Girl

So, working as a nurse in cardiology I am reminded of what can happen if you do not take care of yourself. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with hypertension & pre-diabetes last summer in my attempts to consider having another a child. This winter I was told by my doctors I was not healthy enough to get pregnant.

. . . Well things have gotten worse, not only can I not have another baby right now, I may not be around for the 2 year old I do have. So, I am changing the focus of this blog for the next few months as a way to journal my progress on becoming a healthier mom & wife.

Right now I am at very overweight, have hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, and potentially may one day lose my kidneys. One of my nightmares is to end up on dialysis!
So, I will be updating this every few days & hopefully it might help me & someone else become healthier & happier!
