Diane is on a break
I'm on borrowed time now. I was told back in spring 2015 I had a year to live, if I were lucky. Three surgeries later- I am walking, I have lost over 150 pounds, I am no longer diabetic, no longer have high blood pressure, no longer on a dozen medications.

I always tell my family my body is constantly trying to find new and innovative ways to kill me. But I'm 60, and I'm not gone yet.
Being very overweight for most of my life caused me to be where I am, there is no doubt. I thought I was 'getting away' with it. I was 'healthy fat'. I had a husband and three beautiful boys I could keep up with. I was fine. Then I wasn't fine.
Obesity changes our INSIDES more than our outsides if you can imagine such a thing. And that is the part I needed to stop denying because it was literally killing me.
There is hope. There are choices. And I'm not going anywhere without a fight.
