I am a 42 year old woman. Been overweight all my life. Struggled with Depression for years and food WAS my go to. May 2014 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. That woke me up cause Diabetes killed my mom. NOW, I am determined to beat Diabetes and not let it beat me! Joined Fat Secret to keep track of the Carbs I was eating and to lose weight. I have to say the support is great here and it helps a lot! In September 2014 I decided to go Vegan for my health and more for the animals. Since I have decided to go Vegan I have more energy and I have my Diabetes under control and am off my Diabetic Med. Best of all when I eat I feel good that I am NOT gnawing on what was a poor innocent animal!
