the chaos that is my life

Soooo I am 31, but was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2005 as well as high cholesterol, asthma and reflux ALL of which stemmed from a significant weight gain. Though I am doing WAY better now, I still have some more room for improvement-a few extra pounds that don't want to leave, lack of motivation to get off my butt, and stuff like that....

Hope,

Your name says it all. Without hope there is no love, no joy, no peace of mind. God gives all.

I will always be available when you need some emotional support. Call on me.
