I'm a late middle-aged type 2 diabetic with fibromyalgia and sundry other problems. Apart from sleeping a lot they don't really define me. I've been obese all my life - well since I was 6 or so following having TB when I was 3. This was 1957 and the only children who were cured were the ones that put on and maintained the put on weight. So I was fat. I'm now 57 and am only overweight - thanks to low carbing. This is my way of eating for life.
