I am a working wife and mother who was a gestational diabetic while pregnant six years ago. I opted to maintain a strict diet rather than inject insulin and only gained 35 lbs with my pregnancy. Fast forward five years: I work 40+ hours per week, on call 24/7, all the while taking care of my family. I gained most of the weight back since giving birth and I am now trying to find a healthy lifestyle and balance again. I am at risk for developing diabetes and colon cancer since both my parents past away at an early age from those diseases. De-stress, live healthy is my mantra. Please remind me to breathe.
