So, this isn't good news.....


....at all. Not that this news is unexpected; in fact, it's news that i was pretty sure wasn't "new" news at all. It was just that this news wasn't 'confirmed' by my doctor. Of course, it was mainly not confirmed because i chose to hide from my doctor, cancel my appointments and pretty much keep my head in the sand while singing 'la-de-da' while sticking my fingers in my ears.

Ready for the not-so-shocking news?

I am a diabetic.

In fact, i'm just not a 'little' diabetic, i am REALLY diabetic.

You know, the Type 2 kind?

Yes, that would be me.

The medicine taking, stabbing my finger for numbers, needing to eat correctly, exercise daily, losing weight kind of diabetic that needs to change her life style like NOW kind-of-diabetic.

Yes, that is me.

Apparently, i am NOT too cute to be a diabetic.

Another shocker, yes?

While i am not shocked, i am a bit a LOT scared. I have done what most folks have done: pretend that i am a "healthy-fat" instead of a not-healthy fat. I have pretended to be happy as i am, taking my body and my health for granted. I have pretended that carrying an extra oh, say, an extra 70 pounds is okay. I have pretended to be a healthy-fat for a bit too long.

Isn't that hysterical? I actually convinced myself that i was a 'healthy-fat'!

Not so funny anymore as this pretend game of mine has finally caught up with me....what a surprise, yes?

So, along with my life-style change, a blog overhaul is needed.

Welcome to the new...

This Little Diabetic Piggy Blog

And so i begin on this most important journey....no games, no half-way, no pretending to be healthy, no sneaking foods that are not going to help me.

Being a diabetic is serious, folks.....very serious.

Being a diabetic is a game changer.

I am just sad that it took this to wake me up.

Pray for me, please....or send good vibes my way as i start to navigate my new life.

And maybe even follow along?

I'll need all of the support i can get....
