I guess you’re going to have to update how you see yourself. You put your mind to it, worked hard, and succeeded. Congratulations. You did it. Now for the “fatty” part. Before I was diagnosed, I was always attempting to diet and never succeeding. Just another fatty. Just another thing I failed at. However, once I was diagnosed, I dropped over 100 pounds. Like you, I stopped the mindless snacking, measured my portions, and ate better. I also started exercising by walking twenty minutes twice a day. And I ate my vegetables. Get a prescription to see a diabetes dietitian to help you with a new eating plan.
