Nota bene: This is not to discriminate against people of size. You are who you are, and if you're happy and healthy the way you are, more power to you.
Unfortunately, I've got a family history of diabetes that I can't ignore, and my body has been showing signals that all is not well. It finally hit me when I realized my waist had hit 35"- that's a sign of metabolic syndrome, which can lead to diabetes and reduced lung function, like I need any more of that- I needed to lose 10 before I gained 30. Long story short, I'm on my way to killing myself in the same horrific way my paternal grandmother died, and I'm not even really enjoying the ride.
So, I'm going to give it a shot. If I can't manage it on my own, then at least I'll have tried.
Wish me luck. I'll need it.
