What are your fitness/health goals? I would like to lose 20 pounds. My biggest goal is to get my prolactin levels stable so I can ovulate and have another baby. We have been trying for 10 years. Ive tried clomid but it didnt work. Although due to insurance issues I was only able to take it for 3 months.
What was the "trigger" or incident that made you decide it was time to lose weight and become more fit? I was always thin until I met my husband 10 years ago. He is a chef... Ive been riding the usual weight roller coaster. Well now I am so tired all the time. (Most likely from life stresses and the prolactinoma) I think the chubby face is the worst part.
What do you struggle with the most on this journey to health? Keeping my self esteem up that it will actually work out in the end.
What are three things in the area of diet/exercise you need to improve? I need more self control from ice cream. I think a workout buddy would be nice. I need to realize the weight didnt appear overnight so it wont disappear overnight either.
(Evil motivation ) Who do you want to look better than? : Nobody in particular.. Just better than I do now. Although my husband insists I love fine.
What can you not wait to wear when you are at goal weight or size? I would like to wear a stylish babydoll top without looking pregnant.
I really hate the way I look. I hate pictures of me also. Sometimes I think I look good and most other times I find every flaw possible. But I would gain 100 pounds to have another baby. It hurts me that I cant give my husband a baby.
