J-squared

I gained 100 pounds in 1 year.  COuldn't figure out why, and with my commute of 3 hours each way, finding time to take care of myself was difficult, to say the least.  After dealing with weight issues most of my life, and then gaining so much so quickly, we did many tests to find out why.  I was finally diagnosed with PCOS, and insulin resistance (Type-2 Diabetes,) high blood pressure.  Also had 3 knee surgeries, so weight was not doing this body good.  After struggling with the meds for PCOS, metformin for the diabetes, I had enough.  I went through the hospital's 6-month pre0surgery program, and here I am.  So glad I made the change.  healthier, no longer diabetic, no more HBP.  This was not a cure - it's just a tool to use to help me with the decisions i make.  it's not for everyone.  but i would do it again in a heartbeat.
