Bio (Megan)

It's a rainy dark night here in Chicago! So, I thought I would let everyone know a little bit about me, and Morgan will be writing her bio as well soon!

My name is Megan, and I started blogging a couple of years ago after I went through a life changing time in my life. I was diagnosed with type one diabetes when I was a junior in High School (going into Senior year). Soon after that I developed hypothyroidism. I later developed an eating disorder in college and had to be hospitalized for about a month and continued treatment for many years after. I still struggle in stressful times, but have been in recovery for about a year or two now :)

I was lucky and unlucky enough to have about two years to soul search and basically create who I wanted to be, work on myself and become who I am today. Which was a blessing, but I also missed out on some life experiences. So, I am making up for it now and live life from a grateful, fun place. Everyone has ups and downs and diabetes is still a lifetime struggle, but I feel great and have everything as under control as possible.

I feel really proud of what I have gone through and am really lucky to be where I am today! I have a strong faith and am surrounded by the best family in the world, awesome friends (what's up Morgan!!!) and a really fun life. I am really grateful and appreciative especially because I have seen myself at the lowest of lows and the best is yet to come!

I work in the natural health industry with an awesome job and live and work in the Chicago land area. I graduated with a bachelors degree in communications from DePaul Univeristy and played tennis my whole life. I enjoy running from time to time and have been doing yoga for about ten years, so that is where my passion lies! But I plan to run a half marathon or two to prove to myself I can do it with how brittle my diabetes is and how hard it is to control and work out with! I am sure you will find out more about me in the next couple of months!
