New Today
Hi,
Just found this site today. I am absolutely sick and tired of being obese. I have tried to lose weight so many times. I do have PCOS and am told it makes it harder to lose weight. I know that’s just another excuse. This time last year I was insulin resistant, but since then I have made it a mission to only use real food to feed my family. Even before it didn't seem like I used boxed food very often but just removing them completely has made a different. I am no longer insulin resistant and my cholesterol is going down. My Weight on the other hand has not changed. I am a pretty active person, I have 3 kids, a husband, 2 dogs, and 3 cats . We do 4-H, Cub Scouts, Daisy's, Sports, and community service. I am a 4-H leader, Poultry Leader for our county, as well as on the executive board for 4-H; so needless to say I am pretty active at times. I also have a mini hobby farm ( chicken & ducks, with goats and a pony coming Spring).
I will admit that I have a tendency to sit on the computer during the day, so I believe that is why I am the size I am. I recently volunteered to be a Wolf Den leader, and while going through the paperwork I found that if I am over 214 pounds the Scouts reserve the right to exclude me in physical activities . I guess that is kind of a wake up call. So my first goal is to loose 51 pounds. There is no way I want to be told I can't do something with my son because I am to fat. Not to mention I hate being fat. I hate the way my clothes fit, I am embarrassed when I am in public places, I feel like everyone is staring as my sagging belly.
I really hope, I stick with it this time. I don't want to be fat anymore!
