The 100th Post - A new chapter

It seems only fitting that my 100th post is a life changing one.

It's been one week, and it's been hard. The not knowing, the worries, the unknown. I guess that is the scariest part of all.

I won't go in to specifics, but let's just say that my gestational diabetes has caught up with me. What is funny is that I feel if I don't write it, it's not true, or not real. I've been told by many that's it's no big deal. Many people have it, but I didn't think it'd catch up with me this early in life.

My life will now be about diets, exercise, and meters. I'd be lying if I wrote I was fine, and not worried. The truth is I'm scared to death. I question every food I eat. Unlike alcoholics or drug addicts, I don't have a choice. Avoiding food will not help me, infact it'll make me sick. It's a demon I face every day, 3 x a day.

I realize that this may be on the dramatic side, but it's how I feel. People have said, my life is not over, and it's not. It's not a death sentence, it's a change in lifestyle.

These people are right. My life will go on. I will get past this.
