Its always good to reflect back on the reasons we started ww. Like you I had a health wake up call only problem is I am only now getting myself together - 8 years later but better than never.
I was diagnosed diabetic at that time and have managed to control this by diet alone so all not lost. The complications of diabetes scared the pants off me for a while. Now I really want to lose weight rather than feel I have to I am finding it easier.
You have done really well and improved your health risks no end, so big well done for that. Sometimes we concentrate on how we look with weight loss but the health benefits have got to be more important.
