We might often think that if we just changed something about our body then we’d be able to love ourselves. The reality is that changing our body won’t lead to loving who we really are, because eventually our body will change again. Try this weekend to again accept your body as it is and take care of it!

There are many things you can do to improve your health with pre- diabetes, but losing weight isn’t one of them. (because we all know this doesn't work for anyone anyway)
