Everyone has to start somewhere....right??

Well I have made a decision today...No, its not the first time I have made this decision but it is the first time I have the motivation I need to stick with my decision. I lost my father 4 months ago. He was my world, I was always a daddy's girl, he raised me and then lived with me for the last 10 years of his life. He was always overweight, so it ran in the family right??? Now I went to the Dr Thursday and came out with a bunch of medicines. I have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and PCOS. His advice: watch your carbs. So I will try... I am in EMT/MEDIC school and the purpose is to save people, how can I do that when I am killing myself. I know I need to lose weight, I know I can't do it by myself. It make take me weeks to have time to get my profile finished. However, I am off to a good start, eggs and bacon for breakfast, Im off to get a salad for lunch...I shall do this...one meal at a time!
