ME - on a diet!

Well, I prefer to think of it more as a lifestyle change rather than a diet.  Diet's were made to fail, and I do not want to fail, no will I fail!
It is very challenging.  I feel like I am doing it alone.  My fiance keeps saying, "I am doing it, it's going to take time."  I told him last night, yes, it must be nice to be able to take time!  Me, I can't take time, because in that time span, I could have diabetes.  I just feel as though I am going through all this alone, and he doesn't understand at all that I need him to be by my side!  It's not just me going through it, although it is just my body, we need to do it as a team.
On a more positive note, I just got a call from my wonderful mother!  She has had back problems for about 10 years.  They FINALLY sent her to an orthopedic surgeon!  The surgeon says she has a "C" in her spine up in her mid-upper back and he's pretty sure she has 2-3 herniated discs.  They are sending her for an MRI!  FINALLY!!!  My poor mama has been in so much pain for so long and needs deserves some relief!  I am so happy for her!!!
That's all folks!  Shortest blog post ever :)  I am going to try to update more often though!
