Read this story on Kelly Slater from Outside Magazine
I read it every couple of months to just reset my thinking.

Happy Anniversary to me.....
It was 3 years ago that I got the call from the Dr's office that I was officially diagnossed as a Type II diabetic.
It was a horrible day at work, horrible commute home, the kids were screaming, I just made a mess on the floor when the nurse gave me the results. She wanted to know what pharmacy I used. She was going to call in a prescription for some pills for me.
I hung up, called the wife, got a little upset, got depressed and vowed I would beat it.
The following week I relaced the running shoes and started the trip back.
I was over 220lbs that day. By mid June, I was at 187. After 3 months the Dr took me off the medication and he was amazed by how much I had accomplished.
Since then it has been an ongoing battle to keep it under control. It wil never be easy, but it is doable.
Good lord I feel like Bruce Banner!
