What was really killing me: Not keeping my diabetes well controlled, which was draining me of energy and greatly impairing my vision.
(Watch as reality TV meets diabetes in Extreme Diabetes Makeover.)
My wake-up call: When I took the RealAge Test and found out my RealAge was 14 years older!
(How old does your body think you are? Take the all-new RealAge Test to find out.)
What I changed:
- I jump-started my weight loss with the Amazing Soup Diet.
(Thaw out and slim down with a hearty bowl of soup and so much more.) - I started eating more whole grains and other foods that have more fiber.
- I reduced the amount of red meat I eat.
(Cut back on beef without giving up that meaty satisfaction. Try this.) - I started paying more attention to my portion sizes, eating less, but more often.
- I learned to eat chocolate -- my true love -- only in moderation, and not daily.
(Next time you're craving chocolate, nibble on this kind.) - I started walking for fitness and feel great about doing it.

How my life has changed: I'm much more in control of my eating and my life. I found out that if I eat every 2 to 3 hours, I'm not always craving food. In fact, I actually want to eat much less.
What keeps me motivated and on track: Connecting with other RealAgers on Facebook who are also on a journey to live healthfully. I also use recommendations from my RealAge Grow Younger Plan to continue to lose weight, gauge my progress, and stay motivated.

What I really love about the new me: Having a whole new way of life that helps me eat better, feel more energetic, and control my blood sugar and my health.
