Hello Guys,
I was an avid member of this site long long ago. Lost over 80 lbs began a running program, and saw some very significant changes in my life.
Somehow about 3 years ago I got laid off from my jobs and for a period of 3 years kept getting laid off from every job that I've had be it outsourcing or the housing and auto market making cutbacks. I was also very avid in ministry and had some crushing truths and things revealed about people around me and depression set it. Never really knew it was depression until I looked back on it. Well 3 years and 100 lbs later here I am.
I am totally in shock right now at how my weight has become so out of control but I really am ready to make that change permanently. I have prayed for the weight of procrastination to lift off of me and a serious paradigm shift in my thinking. I can see the shift in my work related perspective, I am now ready to embrace the change in my health and nutrition. I've done just about every program that I could think of and tried some fad diets even attempted doing a gastric bypass diet (which failed terribly) . And Honestly I think it is just going to take doing it the good old fashioned way. Eat less move more. I have found a free running clinic for beginners (I have to start all over haven't ran in quite a while) that starts this evening. As it turns out my hours now allow the time to do this so I am happy. Welp I wanted to introduce myself back into the forum and get as much encouragement as I can. I got on the scale today and my weight is a whopping 328 lbs. I am in shock and disbelief but I won't allow the scale to get me down. I have hypothyroid and I have ran out of medication and maybe that is a reason for the jump in weight (last time I weighed a couple of weeks ago I was teetering on 319-320). But regardless I need to make my health a key component in my life.
If you've actually read this thanks for your eyes and say a quick prayer for me to stay the course.
S.O.S. HELP! Can't believe I allowed this SMH
