I Wanted to Live an “Abundant Life”

After a lengthy illness of uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled high blood which causes kidney failure with my brother. I realized I had to get my diabetes and high blood pressure under control so I made an appointment with my doctor to start a plan to see a nutritionist and begin an exercise regimen. I didn't want to live life of an "okay life" but I wanted to live an "abundant life". So I began to look for encouragement and plans to help me to a better lifestyle. I do not share my story to get sympathy or recognition but to give others an understanding on how important it is to eat right and exercise. Choose well has encouraged me with all the positive stories on the site. I want to thank those who entered their story.
