After being a very active teenager & young adult (cheerleading, track, softball, basketball, etc.), began gaining weight 1st year out of school while working sedentary job (secretary).  Have struggled with weight & yo-yoed dieting since then.  Became diabetic in 1986; insulin required in 1990.  Now, @ age 56 on medical scooter fulltime, disabled in 2001 due to nerve damage in both feet & Charcot foot, as a result of a fall and Lis Franc Fracture & Dislocation.  Right foot still at risk for amputation; fight pressure/diabetic ulcers all the time.  Time to get HEALTHIER...by losing as much of this extra weight as possible.  I have a wonderful, supportive family and I can do this!!!  I want to beat my family odds against dying young & live a long time to enjoy my fun-loving family...but especially my precious 6 yr old grandson!  With family's love, God's help, and support groups such as this....I will be successful at this.  Getting my weight under control is the only thing in my life that I feel like I can NOT manage...or haven't managed well, as of yet.  But, this must change...and change now!!!  Thx in advance for your prayers & support during this crucial time of breaking out of my foodaholic cycle...marilyn jennings aka Grammy, mj, rebmommj.
