I read this story about Karen Daniel, who (as the story quotes) was “wider around than she was tall.” She weighed 375 pounds and has lost 200 of it, and has seemed to do it without surgery.

Even though she is not diabetic, I think we all can take her story to heart. I urge you to visit her website and read her story, because it will surely encourage you to take charge of your own health. So many diabetics are feeling bad and overweight and simply don’t know where to begin. Here’s where you begin: with one small step. It leads to big changes.

I was struck by something Karen said in her story, “It’s a lot harder to be fat than it is to work so hard at being fit.”

Think about the extra weight you have and how much work it is to carry that weight around. I know it’s hard to lose weight (believe me!) but you owe it to yourself to be as fit and happy as you can. I think Karen can attest to that, and I hope her story inspires you as much as it did me.

Karen Daniel Loses 175 of Her 375 Pounds

In Angelique’s own words…To encourage readers to stop the vicious cycle of self-loathing that can lead to eating disorders, I am asking every person who reads this post to leave a comment stating THREE specific aspects of their physical appearance they LOVE and WHY they love those parts of their bodies.

The winner receives a great book, Nancy Redd’s Body Drama! Now get on over there and toot your own horn and don’t laugh too hard at my first answer… hahaha.
