Default New and wondering

is it wise to start this on Friday the 13th? :joy
Today is my first day (again) of induction. I have been trying to get past this day for a few days now!
I am 28, 241.5lbs, newly diagnosed with diabetes, and desperate to get my life back.
I am married with a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter...I would like to be able to do things with my children. Right now I truly can not. I get winded so easy I can barely play with them anymore.
I am looking forward to getting to know people here and very happy to have a community of like minded (and bodied) people.

Thanks,
Shay

Shay,
Come to the board often, especially when you are feeling weak. I cant tell you how many times just reading the posts of others that I have made it thru by coming here. Do eat something legal if you feel a urge coming on, drink your water and try to start some new habits. If you have little ones, take them out for a walk, even if its just a short one. Try everything you can, but dont give in to your urges. We are all here to help and have all been right where you are, your not alone!
