I came to HMR when I was 16 and successfully accomplished my goals. Then went to college and they required the food they had and I gained weight. Then graduated and went to work and was stressed out and depressed and ate. I then got married and he loved to eat so i ate with him and I got pregnant and ate and ate till I become a gestational diabetic and was put on the Diabetic Exchange Food Plan. Then after I had my son I was taken off the Diabetic Exchange Food Plan. I lost my gallbladder and got Gastroesphageal reflux disease and Restless Leg syndrome. My glucose went all over the place and I was Obese. I went to Weight Watchers and lost 20 pounds and still was 35 over and got to a road block. The points and calories didn't add up and I couldn't do anymore activity or I would be doing too much so I left the program and went back on the Diabetic Food Exchange Plan and do up to 760 calories a day in activity now and am borderline type II. Since January of this year my body has been acting like I have type II, only thing is that my A1C blood glucose is not 2 high numbers in a row. I went to a new doctor and nutritionist and they said it is about how your body reacts and not the blood sugar numbers. Then the nutritionist and the doctor both said to come back to HMR so I am coming back and doing phase 2 with the product and food. I have been down a long road and still need help and hope this helps my glucose numbers and helps me lose weight. The program has sure changed, but this is where the rubber meets the road so I have to do this or my health will get worse. This is my story. I have been struggling with weight since I was about 7 when I had heart surgery. I admit I love food and I am addicted to it. I need the help of this wonderful program once again because I had my son. I don't regret having him. I am sad my body didn't react right, but diabetes run in my family so I have to work extra hard at this. The more I am in the program the better I will get at it. I will not give up this fight to get to my goal weight and be healthy.
