Just a quickie about me...which will probably end up being not so quick. I'm 25, and I was born without a thyroid, so I've had weight problems since I hit puberty, but it got really bad after my daughter was born 4.5 years ago. I'm not the heaviest I've ever been, but I'm close to it, and even though I'm pregnant, I look down and say, this is not a baby bump. This is a food bump. I'm only 13 weeks along so it's not the baby, although, of course, I can't suck it in anymore because there's someone preventing that.
I'm tired of being fat. My husband loves me for who I am and what I look like, and he fell in love with me even knowing I have weight issues. But we both would like to see me feel better about myself, and of course, it would definitely give more confidence in our love life. I've tried Weight Watchers, twice, I tried a scientific diet that practically starved me, I tried a funky program called Weigh Down...Usually my TSH is well within control, but sometimes it just goes a little bonkers and you can tell when I can't get into my pants. I hate...no, I LOATHE exercising. Healthy food isn't a struggle for me, though, especially since I don't seem to be craving junk with this pregnancy. Yogurt, water, fruit, veggies...I can't get enough of them. I'm not much of a candy person, I rarely like snacks, and we don't even keep them in the house because my daughter and husband would devour them. So fruits are the snacks around here. Still, I just can't drop the weight. Ok, that's me.
