Well my name is Katie, I am 20 years old. I am new to this forum so hello 
anyways I must say I am quite proud of my self for sticking to this and being this motivated for a whole week! Lol.
No seriously.. I have a lot playing against me that I have used as excuses for quite some time, and I woke up one day and realized I value my life way to much to live this way. So here's my story thus far.(if anyone is interested)
I've been fluctuating my weight all my life between being under weight to being about 70 pounds over weight. I've been bullied and mentally abused in relationships due to my weight. I've developed eating disorders, from emotional eating to bulimia.
I was diagnosed with type one diabetes when I was 11. I had experienced drastic weight loss due to my illness and almost died. A few years passed and my hormones caused me to go from 94 pounds, to 234. I am 20 years old now, and life is not treating me too well at the moment. I stopped taking care of my diabetes and lost 50 pounds. I am now 5'9 and 184 pounds. This was not from diet and exercise. My blood had become so acidic from my high blood sugars that my body was eating its self alive. Money is tight. I can't hold a job due to my illness, I can't afford my own groceries, I live in a violent gang infested area, and I lost my health insurance (keep in mind the medication I need to LIVE is about $800 a vial!!) Everything seemed so contradicting I felt like what's the point? I'm probably just gonna die in a few years. I have kidney problems and nerve damage. I had no energy and I couldnt even get up to go to the bathroom with out feeling like I'm gonna faint.
Needless to say I haven't accomplished jack these past two years and my excuses and suffering is making the people I love suffer and struggle so enough is enough. I love life too much to let something like this happen. I sold my guitar, bought all organic and vegan food, and have been working out every day. I only have to take a fifth of the insulin I was taking before and my sugars are great! My energy levels are 10x more than they were. My mood has taken a 360! I have gained 7 pounds this week but that is because of my blood sugar stabilizing. I am trying my hardest to find a job and make this change permanent because this past week I have proven my self wrong in many ways. I need to prove the people I have let down wrong as well.
Well there's my story so far. I would love to hear from you guys as well
