Back Again
Hello everyone,
I'm back again ha not even sure what to say here. I have tried and failed to lose weight countless times and once again I'm back for more. I am 24, married, and 212 pounds. My highest weight I was 225 pounds. I have lost those 13 pounds since I started again and I think it's the first time I have actually lost weight, even though I have tried many times. There have been a lot of I guess turning points with realizing I need to lose weight. I have become a WWE wrestling fan because my husband watches it a lot and I got into it. One night we were watching it and eating our pizza and drinking pop and I remember looking at the TV and thinking how incredible te athletes are (even though it's fake, you have to admit there is a lot of athleticism involved). I remember thinking to myself how these athletes can pick people up over their heads with ease, and here I am struggling to even stand up off the couch. How pathetic is that? Another point was doing the breast cancer walk with my family. My mom and my aunt are both survivors of breast cancer so we like to do a 5k walk in support of breast cancer. There is a chance I could get breast cancer because it runs in my family and being overweight just promotes it. I remember thinking about that as I was out of breath doing a 5k WALK. I used to run cross country in high school and here I am barely able to do a walk. And the last I guess turning point was going to the dr recently. A routine checkup, I was proud of losing the weight I have lost, until the dr told me I had gained 20 pounds in the year since I had last seen her. I mean I lost 10, but still. Then they took blood for labs. I was possibly pre-diabetic the last time I went to the dr and for some stupid excuses and for a few (no not a few, a lot) cheeseburgers, I could possibly have diabetes now. I find out in October what the verdict is and am praying I have one more chance to get my crap together. I guess I am here for support and to keep myself in check. I can't be this overweight miserable person anymore who struggles everyday to eat well. I want to be in shape for my health, my job, my husband, my future kids, and most of all, for me. So sorry for the long thread and thank you for your present and future support. I need all the help I can get!
