New Here
Hi
My name is Amanda and I am new here.
I am 36 years old and have been overweight most of my life. I have come to accept my body the way it is, even if sometimes I wish it could be different.
I found out a few years ago that I have PCOS. Then last year I found out that I have Sleep Apnea and Hypothyroidism. So my intial thinking was, I am screwed when it comes to losing weight.
I do not have any kids and I am not sure if I am even able to have kids - no one has given me a definite answer, but I know that losing weight will better my chances.
I am wanting to change, not only for my health, but for my family and friends and most importantly, for me!!
I just can't seem to find the motivation - or whatever you want to call it - to get in and get started, or even stick to it. I have the best reasons (like we all do, I suppose) to lose weight - the ability to have kids, not get diabetes, get rid of the sleep apnea and hypothyroidism, see my nephews grow up; but I can't kick myself in the *** to do it. So I feel like a failure already!!
Guess I'm just looking for a bit of support and somewhere I can go when I feel like venting my frustrations or disappointments etc
Hope to get to know some of you better and maybe make a friend or two along the way.
