Getting on track...
Hi everyone! I've been lurking around the forum for a week or so, so I figured it was time to introduce myself. From what I've seen so far, this place is full of great, supportive people!
I started my weight loss journey somewhat unintentionally this past fall when I had to adjust my diet to deal with gallbladder issues. A bland, no spice, no fat diet for an entire month before my gallbladder was finally removed resulted in 12 lbs. gone no problem. What a great feeling! It took a major surgery to finally make me see what my eating habits and lifestyle were doing to my health. Don't get me wrong, I always knew I was overweight and unhealthy, but talk about denial! It was time to get my health on track!
And then the holidays came and I lost sight of all of that. I ate like it was my job and all of the weight that I had previously lost quickly started to creep back on. I still wanted to lose weight, so after the new year came and went I finally started to make some serious changes. I checked in with my doctor and she recommended a great nutritionist who is helping me make real lifestyle changes.
I'm now down a total of 23 lbs. and hope to keep losing until I hit my first goal weight of 150. I have a long way to go, but I'm more committed than ever!
