I have been walking at a local park with my mom and we have worked our way to two laps (2 miles) around the park. The other day we went walking and on our second lap my mom starts saying she is not feeling well at all and she needs to sit down. The walking path is a mile long and we were about half way done and as we sit there she tells me I have to go get her a drink. We discovered that she hasn't ate in awhile and she thinks her sugar is low. She is a diabetic and low blood sugar can be fatal for her and I had no idea what to do because this has never happened to us before. I ran to our car in the parking lot to get money and to buy her a drink and to get some candy for her. She was pale, shaking, and cold to the touch when I got back. We sat down as she ate and we both agreed that it was a very upsetting ordeal. She was fine but it definitely scared us and made us very determined to change our lives and become healthier.
We don't ever want to experience that again. In my family we have a long history of health problems. It's terrible and we decided that enough is enough. So we are trying to eat better and we are going to keep walking. Our goal is to make sure that we have no more health scares. Losing weight is important but being healthy is our top priority now. Wish us luck and thanks for reading <3
