- About Me:
- I am all about family and love spending as much time with them as possible. My 2nd passion is bringing awareness to Type II diabetes. It is near and dear to my heart.
Since being diagnosed a little over 3 years ago, I have lost over 80 pounds. March 2007 is a special chapter in my life. It was the month my struggle to control my diabetes took on a whole new light. I reached my goal weight set by my doctor and was able to be taken off all artificial means to control my diabetes. My diabetes is now under control through diet and exercise. With weight-loss and exercise, Type II Diabetes can be managed or prevented.
My success at controlling my diabetes has led to a new found dedication and passion in educating others on how to eat right & exercise. It brings me great joy to share my story with others and in doing so inspire them to “get up and get moving!”

wonderful sponsor Bella Royale Skin Care.
It was a fun night and now I am ready to put my pageant shoes away and get back to business bringing awareness to type 2… Continue

Stop Comparing Yourself to others!!
This post hit's home to me and was my problem for many years when I struggled with my weight. I think it's important to bring up.
Most of us do compare ourselves to others. It's usually a deep rooted
problem with the inability to really love yourself. I remember having
this problem. It took me years to except who I was. It started when I
was overweight and stopped when I was overweight. I use to think…
