I am Elaine McElroy, age 50. December 12, 2011, I received the worst news I ever thought I would get. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. This was eye opening for me in that my mother had died a year earlier and she, too, like me, was Type II. Mama’s idea of monitoring her blood sugar was to read the back of the empty package of food she just ate. I vowed at that moment I would not die like she did. I immediately went into action. I contacted the American Diabetes Association, joined their website and began journaling everything I consumed. I began counting Car-bohydrates, Calories, Fiber, Fat, Sodium, and serving sizes. I changed my way of eating. I began an exercise regime. I cut my soft drink consumption in half. Unfortunately for me, that was not nearly enough. One month later, at Matthew 25, I could be heard professing, “I am going to OWN my health.” Yvonne Stuckey, nurse practitioner, told me about the scholarships to OWN Fitness at the Renaissance Point YMCA. Within hours, I was registered and next day I was accepted. That was a life-changing event for me.From Dec. 12 – Feb 1, I had struggled to lose a measly 10 pounds. Feb.1st-I took my body measurements, weighed myself, took photographs and started my personal attack on my body image. The best thing I have ever done for ME in my life, not to mention, the most difficult and challenging task so far in my life. (For the record, I had previously given up smoking and drinking and only thought those were difficult to do. I had no clue as to what was in store for me.) I had done things like completely eliminate the whites from my daily intake, for example, bread, potatoes, salt, sugar, mayonnaise, pasta, and white rice. I have complete-ly quit drinking soft drinks of any kind, INCLUDING DIET SOFT DRINKS. That was a killer task for me, as I was a cocaholic. I replaced the soft drinks with unadulterated WA-TER. I made sure that the food I ate was raw/fresh, if not it was steamed, broiled, baked,

Helping others is a tangible, meaningful, and fulfilling acknowledgment of the successes we’ve achieved. Anyone can make a bequest to their favorite charitable organization. You don’t have to be fabulously wealthy but rather have a cause you care about and want to contribute to. Even a small gift can make a big difference in someone’s life.

As the calendar year comes to a close, please consider Matthew 25 when you review your chari-table giving as it pertains to “your legacy. “ The Planned Giving Office of Matthew 25, Inc. invites you to explore the many opportunities available to you. In many cases, tax-deductible giving can save money in the long run. The added bonus is that it can feel good to give as well.

WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE?“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remem-bering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35

A Story worth reading...Editor’s note: When we contacted Elaine McElroy to ask if she would be willing to tell her story for publication, she was enthused by the opportunity. The following was submitted by her (including the photos) and is included here with her permission. Editor

roasted or boiled, in that order or I did not consume it. Concentrated sweets were completely out of the question. All this was inhibited by an allergy MSG. The next step was to put into action a plan of attack on the existing body fat and inches, no easy task there. For the preceding 5 – 6 years I had become stagnant caring for my invalid mother and not tak-ing care of me. I had given up on health, my happiness, and me and had become complacent toward my own existence. At the gym, it was hard at first finding the things I could do and enjoy that did my body the most benefit. Aqua aerobics was the absolute first thing I dove into. The family of women there, struggling with their body images, working at the same task and the encouragement I got from them was just what the doctor ordered. I have sisters now I never had before. I started riding my bicycle to the gym as often as weather permitted. I did things to change up my routine and throw my body a curve ball so I did not become complacent again. The one thing I did not do was kill myself working out. If I felt pain, I changed what I was doing or the way I was doing it. It is fine to feel the pain of the workout after the workout, but not during. That means you are not doing it correct-ly or it is not the correct thing to be doing for yourself. Pain is not gain during exercise. Meanwhile, Dr. Oz, The Doctors and other health gurus filled my TV and DVR with programs of-

fering helpful tools and guides to aid me on my journey to health. Since December, I have lost 62.75 inches and counting; 80 lbs and counting; dropped from size 22W – 24W down to size 8/10 and planning to stay there. Now the task at hand is to learn how to maintain my body weight and health.I reached my goal in weight loss and size in just 6 months with the as-sistance and guidance of people like Lois Skelly, Aqua Aerobics Instruc-tor and the OWN Fitness Program at the YMCA, but not one bit of this would have been possible if Yvonne Stuckey had not cared enough to lis-ten to me when I was there for my visits.Yvonne ran blood tests, watched my weight, my body and listened to me intently. Where would I be with-out the staff of Matthew 25. I have been coming to Matthew 25 for fourteen years. I have seen many doctors come and go. I have relied greatly on the staff that remained when others moved on. I cannot speak highly enough about Carla, Candy, Yvonne, there are so many others. Doctors like Melissa Walther, Jeffery Walker, Dr. Izbister, take notice of the body language, the words articulated, and the labs. Without the Doctors and Nursing Staff that

volunteer, Fort Wayne would suffer greatly. When I tell my family the things I am thankful for, Matthew 25, their staff and their care, top every one of my lists, because on more than one occasion, Matthew 25 saved my life!!!I am so very blessed to have been a part of the OWN Fitness Program at my YMCA; Matthew 25 for sending me there, and God for making those within my circle compassionate, not complacent. That said, “I am here for each of you should you need support, advice, guidance or someone to work out with.”I would like to be a motivational speaker for a youth group to help them prevent the things I have had to endure while they are young and can take advantage of their youth.Matthew 25, Thank you for all your assistance, care, consideration, and resources. Respectfully, Elaine McElroy
