Hello from the South — and points beyond!
South Carolina is where I'm writing from, but the Motor City, Detroit, is where I'm from, and South Texas is where I grew up. A bit of a geographical smoothie, in other words — good luck making sense of that one!
This whole scene is new to me. 48 arrived in January and it landed like a ton of bricks: time to take the reins and point my health in a better direction. The 225-pound mark has been home for a long time, and being uncomfortable had somehow become comfortable.
A total food villain I was never — more of a "food anti-hero." Eating badly was never really the issue (though hand on heart, no nutrition awards were coming my way either). The real weakness? Beer! Short version: a pre-diabetes scare was exactly the wake-up call I needed. My kids are why I'm here, and I intend to do whatever it takes to stay involved and stay alive!
All the best!
