While peacefully walking, my man trying to comfort me… Something sharp caught the back of my shorts, pulling them down and exposing my granny panties to the world… I could not have been mortified… I just stood there shocked, questioning what sin I committed in my life to experience such embarrassment… I could feel everybody judging me with their eyes, some laughing at me discreetly and some scanning my body with shameful looks… After this, we went straight to the house, and guess what? Exactly, I went into self-destruction mode… In my room, with blinds shut, not answering calls or texts… I cried and ate, ate more and more… Literally everything, Cakes, cookies, twinkies, pop tarts, gummy bears, ice cream, chips, pizza, Coca Cola… I was just trying to fill the hole inside of me… And the shame that I felt about myself… I kept this behavior for days, and I started to worry my husband, so he suggested that we visit our family’s doctor… She is a nice lady, definitely not judgmental, so I was safe from any harsh comments that could lead me to another mental breakdown… I agreed and we went to her office, she was shocked, literally, her jaw dropped… And what I was hiding from finally caught up to me, blood tests so she can figure out exactly where we’re at with things… She told us to come back three days from now, and that’s what we did. I was shaking the whole ride, I felt something off and you know what they say… Always trust your gut… I didn’t want to even think about it, but it was right… Once we stepped into the office, the doctor's expression said it all… My bloodwork showed that I had very high blood sugar and qualified as a Type 2 Diabetic… My blood pressure was so high I had Stage 2 Hypertension… And my thyroid was completely dysfunctional…
