You know the whole “lose weight, get healthy” schtick?

About two years ago I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes. I was 300#. I got my weight down to 215# and had no signs of diabetes. Since then I’ve put some weight back on, 255# now, had to get back on metformin. I know I can lose it though.

I also quit my 24 year smoking habit several months ago.

So yeah, I’m doing the bullshit New Year’s resolution that everyone seems to give up on. It sounds shitty, but I’ve BTDT and I can do it again. I want to lose weight and overall be healthier. My goal is 165#.

You did it once, that's awesome. And you've recognised you still need to work on it.

Giving up smoking is also awesome!!!

It sounds like you've got healthy goals, and you've made some positive progress. I do think NY resolutions can be risky in that it's perfect or nothing, but sounds like you're well on your way to healthier habits and can move beyond set time frames or black and white thinking?+!
