Before picture...with my boys in Grand Cayman! April 2017 Anyone who knows me knows I have always struggled with my weight and that in the last few years I have developed diabetes. In 2009 I successfully lost 30 pounds with Weight Watchers, and my fasting blood sugar went down quite a lot without medicine. While I have successfully kept almost half of that off since then I have gained the other half back, and my blood sugar has gone up as well. Although I haven't had to go on insulin, I am currently on three medications to keep my blood sugars low. That along with exercise and fairly healthy eating habits has helped keep my numbers in control. But...I love food. And I love sugar. I know it's a little bit of an obsession and addiction but there you go. When my blood sugar went back up the last few months I wasn't surprised. Winter was rough for me this year, not enough sun, I made some bad food choices and I wasn't as active as usual....
