Counting the positives...I'm digging on that. How's this?

Last year at this time I was taking insulin twice a day, was morbidly obese (still have a ways to go but I am no longer int he morbidly obese category...not by a stretch!)and had yet to be introduced to parts of my body.

Just today I received the results of some lab work I had done. My A1C (3 month average of blood sugar readings) was significantly into the healthy zone which means I am doing just fine without the insulin. My cholesterol levels are within the healthy range! My triglycerides are still a little high but not like before when I was 250 points above the healthy range.
I have made friends with my body over this past year. I have visible collar bones which I have been wanting to have for what seems like forever, I have felt my hip bones (far from seeing them....but I don't want that anyway!) and I now know about my sternum. The first time I saw it poking up (I was laying in bed), I thought it was a tumor!!! NO KIDDING!

My God, my body has changed SO MUCH and I am lost in happy tears of thankfulness.....I just had to share.

I NEED A HUG!!!!!! DAAAMMMMITT!!!
