😡Playing travel baseball when I was 12
😡Playing sports at all by my endo when I was diagnosed
😡A dietitian in my teens told me “you can’t have abs or get strong with diabetes”
That last one really stung a lot.
I really wanted to make it happen…. but no one knew how to help me get there at the time.
So, they would tell me ‘nope, sorry bud.’
I made it my life’s mission as a 14-year-old to figure out how I could get lean and strong.
Ultimately, through a ton of falling on my face, and blood, sweat, and tears, I’d like to think I’ve done an okay job of defying the odds.
You’re going to be told NO constantly by people, especially in the realm of diabetes.
You have to look them in the eye and say WATCH ME.
Take that approach in diabetes and NOTHING is going to feel out of the realm of possibility for you.
Don’t let your diabetes slow you down
