This does not define me!

This does not define me!

I have diabetes, it is a part of who I am, but it does not define me!

I'll be honest, since being diagnosed three short years ago I have gone through several stages, similar to the grieving process. At that time, I thought giving up foods I loved could really spoil my world as I knew it. Since then I have learned that my health is the most important thing I own. Like the millions in statistics and articles linked to this site and other places, I had been walking around with Type 2 for most likely 20 years or more! I realized all the times I binged at "All You Can Eat Pizza Night" whilst washing down the dough with beer I could have easily not woken up! Omitting foods from my diet and exercising more I have lost seven clothing sizes, 60 pounds and things are under control. I'm looking forward to participating in this walk because diabetes is something I have, but it will never define who I am or what I am able to accomplish!
