DENIAL
During my first pregnancy with my daughter Dani (short for Daniella), I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
This type of diabetes goes away once you give birth but it is precursor to possibly becoming a diabetic later in life.
My doctor was very concerned due to the fact that I also had a high chance of becoming diabetic due to my genetic history with my father having been a diabetic. I ignored her warnings to watch what I ate. To do something before it was too late.
I continued to eat what I wanted, when I wanted and had gestational diabetes once again when I was pregnant with my second child, my son Albert. I continued to gain weight. I continued to let my health go down the tubes. I was always tired and exhausted when I was raising my two beautiful children.
My doctor warned me that with two gestational diabetic pregnancies under my belt, and a diabetic parent, the likelihood of my becoming a diabetic like my father was even stronger.
But, instead of taking action, I buried my head in the sand once more and continued to be in DENIAL.
Not even sitting by my father’s side as he underwent kidney dialysis impacted me enough to change my lifestyle!
I convinced myself that it wouldn’t happen to me! But it did. I became a diabetic just like my dad. I ballooned to over 320 lbs. I needed a cane in order to walk.
Is this where you are sitting right now? You know you should be doing something about your health but you are in DENIAL.
Take that first step…DM me. Let's talk.
