So you have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? Well you have just joined a very big and growing club. The majority of us in this club were overweight, or just plain old unlucky. There is still no definitive reason why some people develop type 2 and some never do. This is a topic in itself. For now, though, let me just say welcome to the club, There are some cool people in this club.
The bad news is that everything you used to do that led you here ends right now. If you choose to make this change, you should never look back, and your life will improve starting right now. If you choose to cling to the old ways that led you here, you are not only stubborn, but you have a death wish and want to put your loved ones through hell. So which path will you take?
I chose path A, the smart one. That is why I am healthy today with more energy than I have ever had. I would not change my decision for any amount of money. Let me be totally straight with you though, most of you will be lazy and choose not to listen to my advice. The statistics are with me here. Most of you are too stubborn and lazy to change your ways. To you I say goodbye, you will be dead in a few years, hope it was worth it.
To the rest of you who want to make this positive life changing decision, welcome to my website, my name is Johnny Hofmann, and I have type 2 diabetes. Now let’s get to work.
<—————–For starters, you should join my list over there on the left. You get a free diabetic cookbook with over 500 recipes just for joining. I will help you put your life back together piece by piece, starting right now. I am not claiming anything outrageous here, I am just offering to help you do what you need to do for yourself. Also get familiar with the resources over on the right. There is some good information for free on those sites.
No one can help you if you are not ready for total change. We start off small, then bit by bit, we gain confidence and strength. No one should do this alone, so that is why I started “The Journal” here. By being part of my list, you get access to free products, good deals, the latest facts, movies, comedy, coping techniques, and my ridiculous sense of humor. A word of warning, I am a salt of the earth kind of guy, so there may some language from time to time….lol.
Browse some of these informative articles and get familiar with the site. I am about to make a significant structural change and add a ton of new content here, so enjoy this phase of the website while it lasts.
Here is a little nugget that I wish someone would have told me, I am passing it on to you……
Very few people, including doctors, know what you are going through. Do not expect to be comforted by doctors, or anyone else that does not have diabetes. You will only get comfort by seeing someone personally living a healthy life with diabetes. Join a forum or two, and start “meeting” people and sharing your frustrations, fears, and feelings. I felt so much better when I met someone who had this disease and was kicking it’s ass.
There is so much awesome stuff coming up here on this website…..videos, articles, resources, freebies, etc. Just make sure you sign up to the newsletter over there in on the left. There are lots of people on the list that email me all the time thanking me for the things I provide.
I sincerely hope you choose to fight this disease (with or without me.) Stay Positive and Get Healthy!
-Johnny
