L sent me this quote last night, and an explanation about it today (see below). This is about our open and honest discussions about our health issues on our every other day walk/runs.
The reference to the diabetes summit was one that I signed up for on the internet in March and for 8 days had 5 speakers a day giving points of view on reversing diabetes, and experts in functional medicine, nutrition etc. I've been telling L how inspirational they were last year and again this year. I don't have diabetes but it's better to make my healthy choices NOW before I land in metformin land. drugs baby drugs, not lifestyle changes!!!

When I read the quote it felt like the perfect metaphor for weight loss. We started in such a dark place with our health so fractured and it takes such a long time and so much work to do to regain our healthy selves that we need to just show up and make one small change at a time and the dawn will come.
I also read one of the diabetes summit articles! It was the one by Dr. Sara Gottfried (funny her name has fried in it:-) haha… It was great because she spent some time talking about the yo-yo effect, emotional eating and self sabotaging. She even talked some about diet soda. It’s almost as if I were in her office and she was talking about me. She gave some great suggestions on what she tells her patients. It’s funny because I randomly picked it, although I must admit, I was looking to read an article by a woman first - haha. Thanks for sending these along!
