If you’re struggling with your weight, and you’re finding it difficult to shed those extra pounds you gained over the years, I know the struggle firsthand.

You probably look in mirror, and get frustrated. Maybe you hate weighing yourself because you know what the scale is going to say. The scale tells you, “You’re still heavy. You haven’t made any progress. You might as well enjoy yourself and eat what you want.”

In this episode, I’ll be sharing my personal weight loss journey in the hopes that my story will inspire and encourage you.

At the time of this recording, it’s the start of the last quarter of the year: October.

I got to thinking about the many people I talk with who want to reset their health journey after months and even years of falling back into old habits; mainly eating and the lack of regular exercise.

Like some people, perhaps you’re in the same boat. You may have started the year off strong, and you had every intention of sticking to your New Year’s resolution. Remember how excited you were to finally meet your goals?

Do you ever feel alone in your Type 2 diabetes management journey, wishing your loved ones understood and supported you better? It’s one of the worst feelings in the world. Isolation.

Finally, I remind you to express gratitude for those who stand by your side and empower yourself through self-advocacy in your diabetes management journey.

Have you ever wondered why it seems so difficult to manage your weight and control your blood sugar levels, even when you're making an effort to eat healthy?

Well, today's episode is all about tackling an annoying habit that might be sabotaging your progress: grazing. You know; mindlessly and sporadically snacking and eating all day. Some people don’t realize that grazing may be a big reason why they’ve put on extra pounds in what seems like overnight.

Excess weight, especially around the waistline, can lead to insulin resistance—a condition where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin. This resistance disrupts the regulation of blood sugar levels, contributing to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes.

The good news is that weight loss has the potential to reverse these effects. By shedding those extra pounds, you can enhance insulin sensitivity and restore your body's ability to utilize glucose effectively. In fact, research has shown that even a modest weight loss of 5 to 10% can lead to substantial improvements in blood sugar control.

In the United States, these are just a few of the foods that make up what has come to be known as the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.).

Living a healthy lifestyle should not be complicated. But I know it’s a challenge for lots of people, especially when it seems as if we're surrounded by so many unhealthy choices.
